i heard from a few dairyland workers that chocolate milk has blood in it...

when they milk the cow, the start of it is nice and white so they use that as regular milk.. then when it gets to the end of milking a cow they get a bit of blood in it.. so instead of having a "strawberry milk".. lol.. they put chocolate in it and call it chocolate milk...

anyone hear this before?

    No but as milk is a blood product anyway it wouldn't bother me.

    Why don't they just use it for strawberry milk?

    Almonds bleed white so you can't even see the blood but it's still there. It's still there.

    The conspiracy machine does a good job of keeping most people in the dark about these things.

    I was told by someone in the dairy industry that when milk nears or just passes expiration, it is repasturized and used in chocolate milk. But I could have misunderstood. I try to only drink locally produced milk anyway.
