j_b Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 There's a certain level of decision making that the government can't assume for adults in a functioning civilization. Choosing what kind of milk to drink, deciding whether or not to fornicate with a light-socket, etc just aren't amongst them. IMO any and all efforts beyond enforcing rules that require raw milk to be labeled as such are a massive waste of money. we already know that current Somalia is your golden age society. Yes. Raw milk, with labels => Somalia. claiming that labeling of foods or all other consumer products is unnecessary is indeed akin to proposing the Somalian model of governance Question: Should an adult that can't evaluate the risks and benefits associated with consuming *labeled* raw milk be allowed to vote, drive, etc? your asking the question is revealing of your undemocratic ideology.

"Fornicating with a light socket" has nothing to do with buying raw milk knowing that it has been handled properly. Edited June 2, 2011 by j_b Quote

Off_White Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Why don't you post some details - like what cheese you purchased, how much it cost, where it was made, and to what cheese you are comparing it to. I can't speak to what j_b has eaten, but if you're seriously interested in checking out local cheeses, plenty of which is produced with raw milk, you might check out this list: Washington Cheesemakers Association Quote

I have compared at least a dozen of the exact same types and brands of cheese made from pasteurized milk to some made from raw milk. In recent years, the comparison has been possible because customs occasionally crack down after a raw milk cheese has been imported for years, then replaced by the pasteurized kind after the crack down.

tvashtarkatena Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Fornicating with a light socket while bathing in a vat of raw milk would make for some pretty good performance art. Quote

LOL. Sounds like a thorough study. Interesting how you can't name one raw milk cheese and one pasteurized cheese which you compared in this rigorous taste-test of yours. Quote

In recent years, the comparison has been possible because customs occasionally crack down after a raw milk cheese has been imported for years, then replaced by the pasteurized kind after the crack down. This seems overly complicated, considering that raw milk cheese is easily accessible from domestic sources, and quite legal (assuming it's aged at least 60 days). Quote
j_b Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) complicated?? more like the only possibility to compare (besides spending time in Europe) since I never encountered the same kind and brand of domestic cheese made out of both kinds of milk. Edited June 2, 2011 by j_b Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Did you guys know that brevibacteria, responsible for stanky feet, also provides the aroma of Limburger and its fragrant cousins? Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Has the bacteria responsible for Schweaty Ballz smell be isolated? Could be a market opportunity for raw milk producers.... Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Has the bacteria responsible for Schweaty Ballz smell be isolated? Could be a market opportunity for raw milk producers.... j_b would be the first to volunteer for a rigorous taste-test Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Then you two could discuss it afterwards! Quote

j_b Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 do you guys really spend all your time spewing garbage or only while in public because you think it makes you look cool? Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Nothing makes me look cool, so...no, apparently. It's either kick you or kick the dog, and I don't have a dog. And kicking a house plant just isn't the same, ya know? Quote
