Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Time to get on the bandwagon of ultra-pasteurized milk or re-boil your milk at home
"Ultra pasteurized" are just words on a carton unless there's someone verifying it.
Source?
Here's a Cornell University article
https://cals.cornell.edu/sites/default/files/2023-04/pasteurization-fact-sheet-v1.pdf
Source: People can print whatever they like on a carton. It's testers and regulators that recognize and punish them for making false claims.
They're not disputing ultra pasteurization, but due to the new lack of control implementation, it doesn't necessarily have to happen making it no different than the rush associated with regular milk.
I have terrible news for you. At least in my part of America, the only milk you can buy is ultra high pasteurized.
Of course, that's what they've been doing until now. Let's see what happens without the FDA on it.
But now it’s not just milk and the legally allowed amount of blood, pus, urine, dirt, fecal matter, cleaning agents, and the things the ~~FDA~~ USDA found and did nothing about.
Now it’s an unambiguous statement that unknown quantities of unknown substances in your food will not trigger enforcement actions! (Regardless of the regulating body)
That article cites USDA, not FDA
Oh, you’re right - I recalled the article and just grabbed the first one that fit when I skimmed it.
I think my point that this is a clear message that the regulators are unable to regulate right now is still valid, but I will update my previous comment for clarity.
Dipshits like RFK jr want to experiment on everyone and make them "healthy again" by giving everyone raw milk.
I want regular pasteurized milk so I can make clotted cream. But I'd rather have ultra high pasteurized and not have to worry about shit like that.
In Florida up to 30% of the volume of milk can be pus (there's lots of puss coming out of these abused girl's tits due to infections on wounds caused by the machines), so enjoy drinking your boiled pus drink
Gonna need some sauce on that chief.

This tried to limit it to "400,000 [pus] cells per milliliter" but it looks like it didn't pass.
Also found this fun guide (adapted from FDA guidelines) telling labs how to count the pus cells. Particularly alarming is that they tell the labs to err on the side of ignoring pus cells "If in Doubt, Do Not Count Questionable Cells!"
