Agree with the first part.

As for the last sentence, says who?

Not too many diets are pushing meat 14 serves a week.

 

[phantom13]

Replace meat with milk, that way you screen anyone that can't watch a cow s**t itself in pleasure of getting pumped.

Yeh the egg and milk process is ****ed.

Exactly

I was one driving to send meat to get milk between our farm that was 3k acres of meat and their dairy next door. Butchery can be clean, dairy, you never forget that smell.

Says the corporations that want to sell you their cheap highly profitable grain based crap

What's wrong with grains?

 

[BigPowerForward]

What's wrong with grains?

Nothing. I was referring to processed grains

Depends on which ones, how they’re grown, how they’re processed, how they’re cooked, what they’re eaten with of course

Main point I was making about these mega utes is that their emissions are through the roof, if you're in a normal car, you can't see around them or over them, if they hit a pedestrian or back over one in their driveway, as they do, they are probably ****ed, they take up more than a normal car parking space and if you happen to get t-boned by one, you are also ****ed.

They also slow traffic at corners. They usually corner like crap with a couple of exceptions.
Have a mate with a Prado and one of those huge Audi SUV's. Guess which on uses half as much fuel again.

Dairies are horrific aren’t they.
I went to one in the depths of winter, looking for the farmer.
Couldn’t find him, could only find the lead milker, who emerged from the middle of a 50 cow rotary milking stand, wearing nothing but jocks and wellies - covered in shít, milk and god knows what else. Was the hairiest man I’ve ever seen too so the smell would never be leaving him

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Grew up in a small town. a mate who lived on a dairy farm came to primary school telling us how they needed some cows put down. Described the guy with the bolt gun and said the guy had let him do one. Couple of years later he confessed it was bullshi hyperbole. He'd seen one cow go down then run off to vomit. He was a bit of a dickhead ,but he had a motorbike and at that age there was nothing as much fun as being dinked over jumps by a dickhead on a motorbike

My great uncle had a dairy farm and as treat he'd give us warm milk straight out of the stirring vats. **** I'd have to go spew it up, it's a lot more like warm creamy slurry straight out of a tit. Way too organic for my liking. The smell of a diary is unique and we used to have to help him hose the milking sheds out when he was getting older and we'd visit.

My wife always romanticises having a little farm one day. What she really means is she'd like a few nights at an AirBNB farm stay. One look at a real farm and she's be back in the car. Shovelling knee deep shit out of the doorway of a shed and being up at 4.30 am to milk is not a lifestyle. It's a punishment.

That said I love milk still. Good milk is actually hard to find now. That watery supermarket shit is an abomination. Ruins my good coffee.

Pay $10 a bottle for raw and unpasteurised milk but it’s worth every cent. Can never go down to what is passed off as “milk” these days

Young me was used to that as it'd be vat and sugar so some process to clean it a little, whilst they checked the meat for me to then get the "payment", older me avoided it like the plague, preferred playing vet to sheep that ran into fences and dogs that ran into operational farm machinery.

I can't really do milk these days as mucus build up, I still punish myself with iced coffee though as F mornings, I am sore, RA is boo, IDC any more about swallowing properly for hours, but legit that's the only dairy I have these days. Not even cheese on pizza as I choke. I'd blame the vat days, but in reality it was probably the "here's $2, piss off to the arcade machines whilst I chat with mates" in smoke filled pubs when I could barely walk that did it.

I don't mind it being pasteurised even but pretty sure it's 25% water these days. The cheap one from Coles/ Woollies is the worst. Barely even has any cream content. Euro diary is so much better unpasteurised though. The butter and cheese is insane. Ours tastes like dirt in comparison.

 

[CursingFijian]

I actually think it’s worth most people having to do some sort of prep or at least watch the way meat is farmed, killed and prepped. I watched forks over knives and went veggo for 3 years.

At the very least some should have a look at their meat intake. As a kid I would probably have some form of meat for two meals a day, that’s not healthy for anyone or anything.

Yeah. At home in the village surprisingly little meat is consumed, unless it’s out of a can or cheap mutton flaps imported from NZ.

Killing and prepping a beast requires time and effort and also needs a large freezer to store, otherwise it just get shared through the village.

Also, animals don’t grow on trees, lol, so they’re often kept for special occasions or to sell.

Honestly, it’s just easier to have vegetables. And seafood.

Goats milk is better IMO expensive though

I find milk out of the carton tastes a lot better than plastic bottles even if it's cheap milk.

Mostly all the trucks in an area take it to a milk factory. It gets homogenised and decanted into the various container. Paul's next to Coles. Some gets powdered and used later in stuff like zymils. Butter usually the same sort of deal. I still see plain pasteurised milk with the cream floating on top sometimes. When I was a little tacker the old guy who owned the dairy (I. Think he failed his driver's licence a LOT until he was 60 or so. So he delivered milk in a horse drawn cart, he,d jump off the cart with a couple of houses delivery then catch up with the cart. (Of. Course bottles were very efficiently recycled ). Pretty sure he didn't even need to steer his horses. His family members drove proper motorised delivery vehicles on their routes.

 

[phantom13]

Yeh I can’t say I have much milk now but on the odd occasion even full cream looks and tastes nothing like what it did 10-20 years ago.

Im stuck on just my phone last 4 days. I like bf via the browser more than the. App. Directed adds might be chewing a bit. Do need to keep putting it on charge. I might be posting more crap than usual but I refuse to pay to watch the crap ripoff monopoly hospital tv. .

Same in Europe until recently. You don't kill the milk and egg factories. You grow veggies, legumes and grains and supplement with a bit of preserved or purchased meat

There is a pretty good reason it's pasturised.

I love goat cheese, not a fan of the milk, it's quite an acquired taste. I really only like milk in coffee but like it to be right. Not sure latte with goat milk would be great. In the snow the barista was hocking butter coffee. Says it's a big insta trend. Was going to try it and saw them serve one and changed my mind.
