    As someone who milked cows a long, long time ago you do not get blood in the last bit of milk. Besides, almost all milking is done by machine now and it is all collected in the same containers. I think someone is pulling your leg...

    Or pulling your teat. For bloody milk.

    Thinking about drinking animal milk is just about enough to make me gag, blood or no blood. Ick!

    (I'm down with cheese and yogurt, though.)

    How do you milk an almond? I didn't know they had nipples? :laugh:

    you ppl are aware that health regulations allow for a certain amount of bug and cockroaches to be found in our food... we dont live in a perfect world... dont like it??? buy your own cow and then you know exactly where everything is coming from!

    And then you may never drink milk again!! Many do not realize just how dirty fresh milk can be. A single cow means hand milking...even if everything else (equipment, udder, etc) are thoroughly cleaned, it still has to be filtered for hair at the very least.

    I was once one of those parents that kept things ultra-clean. Our second child broke me of that by 1) eating a fly and 2) latching onto the dog's nipple to nurse (no, she wasn't especially pleased!) By the time he was a year old, I was like Fine, whatever, as long as it didn't fall in the dog crap, just blow it off! (Not really but you get the idea.)

    Another reason my almond milk makes me happy..... :drinker:

    Almond milk is made from pressed almonds. Almonds contain little mites that leave the almonds when they are dried to sell whole....but the green almonds are pressed to make the milk..therefore themites are also pressed into the milk. Blood in cows milk, pressed mites in almond milk...take your pick....
    We'll never be free will we?

    Nope. Aphids on my kale too... It's all protein!

  • I was brought up to say that. Although there is a dairy farm close by us I say where is the purple cow. The kids used to watch barney so I made up the purple cow game. Funny the kids are 11 and 9 and we say where is the purple cow.

    Whatever happened to Nestle Quik and a spoon?

    Interestingly, the Nestle Quik is a better option for chocolate milk in the US (pure cocoa likely best) as it was the only option that did not have HFCS. (I was just in the US and was shocked by many food ingredients. For instance I am used to cream that has 2 ingredients: cream, carageenan. Not so south of the border). Strangely, in Canada, there is no HFCS in our chocolate milk (OR the manufacturer is allowed to call it sugar... ?) But since corn syrup is listed when present, I would think that is HFCS and that our milk and sodas do not have it.

    Either way, as someone mentioned before, commercial milk is allowed to have a certain level of blood and pus in it. On top of that, it is then pasteurized. So, while I still use milk sparingly, I don't consider it a healthy food unless it was raw directly from the farmer, and it's not the blood that I am worried about at all.

    Honestly, the idea of blood, dead neutrophils, live nutrophils, dead tissue cells, blood proteins, dead and sometimes live bacteria...well all of that is in there and in plenty of other things we consume, so it doesn't especially bother me. That is what our own lymphocyte system is for. Hormones are the concern for me.

    Actually, I would argue that large-scale commercial food processing poses far greater risk to our health than "dirty" food directly from farmers. (I used to buy cream direct from a farmer and NEVER ever found any dirt/bugs/hair in it and it wouldn't have bothered me if I did..) Anyone notice all the food recalls lately? The contamination occurs during processing most of the time, not on the farms (exceptions for farms that use sewage/industrial sludge to "fertilize" their fields.).

    I only drink chocolate milk when I'm menstruating. Makes the whole situation less weird.
    Best reply in a thread of great replies. Congratulations, you win at internetting. :-)

    If I knew blood tasted this good, I'd have been drinking everyone else's a long time ago.
    God it must be great to be a vampire. Chocolate milk 24/7.

    All conventional milk has a small percentage of puss and blood in it. Totally grosses me out!
  • Why don't they just use it for strawberry milk?

    That is so true!
