Everything is getting scarier by the day, in our modern-day society, we as human beings have a lot to worry about, thanks to the ruling class of globalists including their corporations, the Military-Industrial Complex, the Zionist cabal, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Tobacco, Big Tech and of course, Big Ag or Big Food which is what I want to focus on because they are in the process of creating lab-grown milk which can become a reality in your local supermarket. Forbes just published an article on lab-grown milk called ‘First Lab-Grown Whole Cow’s Milk to Debut in The U.S.’ based...

Survival benefit was tied to plant-based oils, including affordable alternatives to olive oilA large-scale longevity study suggested that more butter is bad, more plant oils are good -- and substituting plant-based oils for butter translated into better survival over several decades. After 33 years of follow-up, deaths were disproportionately more likely among people in the highest quartile versus the lowest quartile of butter consumption (HR 1.15, 95% CI 1.08-1.22). The opposite was true for the relationship between mortality and plant-based oil consumption as the latter appeared more protective (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.79-0.90), even when olive oil was excluded from...

Gavin Newsom & his allies just forced 12 historic family farms & dairies out of Point Reyes National Seashore in California. They claim it’s about saving the environment — but the truth couldn't be more different. Here is the true story — and it's heartbreaking. ⬇️🧵1/ 2/ For over 100 years, ranchers and dairy farmers have worked the land at Point Reyes. They built Marin’s organic food movement & supplied fresh milk to Californians. Now they’re being forced out — by environmental groups, the federal government, and Newsom’s political allies.

Behind that aroma is a complex cheese packed full of flavor.Just because an ingredient or dish is polarizing doesn’t mean it’s not worth your time. As a child I didn’t like mushrooms — their somewhat slippery texture can be off-putting — but learning to love them over the years has opened up new opportunities to enjoy a meaty, umami-packed, and versatile ingredient. What would I do without buttery mushroom pastas and crispy fried fungi in my life now? Among the world of misunderstood ingredients, perhaps none is as renowned stinky cheeses. Taleggio, Limburger, Époisses, raclette, and Gruyère are all varieties...

Once harvested, the potatoes will be processed to extract casein protein powder, a key component in dairy production. Casein, which makes up 80% of milk proteins, is essential for cheese-making and provides melting, stretching and foaming properties in dairy products. Founded just a year ago, Finally Foods specializes in molecular agriculture, using potatoes as natural bio-reactors to produce casein protein. Bio-reactors serve as a medium for biochemical reactions, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional livestock-based dairy production, which contributes to high greenhouse gas emissions and requires extensive land and water resources. The company sees plant-based dairy proteins as a solution...

Camel milk may be better for our immune health than cow's milk. (Leo Morgan/Shutterstock) In a nutshell * Camel milk contains significantly more immune-supporting proteins than cow’s milk (1,143 vs. 851) and lacks the main protein that triggers dairy allergies * Its bioactive compounds may help fight harmful bacteria, support heart health, and create a healthier gut environment, though more research is needed * While production is currently limited (camels produce about 5L/day vs. cows’ 28L), camel milk’s ability to be produced in arid climates makes it promising for regions where traditional dairy farming is challenging JOONDALUP, Australia — Move...

Some UK social media users have been pouring milk down their sinks and toilets in protest at the trial of a new feed additive that claims to significantly reduce the emission of methane gas in dairy cows. Arla Foods, a Danish-Swedish company which owns the UK’s biggest dairy cooperative, announced last week that 30 of its farms across the country would test the additive, named Bovaer. The company says Bovaer - which is added in small quantities to cow feed - could reduce cow methane emissions by between 30-45%. It has been approved for use by UK regulators, and several...

It's a stinkin' crime.Neal's Yard Dairy, an artisan cheese purveyor in the UK, shared that it was the victim of a massive cheese theft that saw more than 22 tons of cheddar stolen out from under them. "We have some difficult news to share. Neal's Yard Dairy has been the victim of a theft resulting in the loss of over 22 tons of clothbound Cheddar," the shop shared on its Instagram page. As it further explained, the theft was carried out by a fraudulent buyer who posed as a "legitimate wholesale distributor for a major French retailer." The shop...

SNIP The state’s famed “Pennsylvania Dutch” registered to vote in “unprecedented numbers” in response to a January federal raid on a local raw milk farm in Bird in Hand, Pa., a source familiar with the situation told The Post. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture raided Amos Miller’s farm Jan. 4 after reports of illnesses in children linked to raw dairy products purchased there, according to the local media outlet Lancaster Farming. “That was the impetus for them to say, ‘We need to participate,’ ” the source said of local Amish voters. “This is about neighbors helping neighbors.”

A video recently emerged showing several cows lying dead on roadsides in California’s Central Valley amid an avian influenza outbreak across the U.S., sparking biosafety concerns. The dead cows were close together with swarms of flies buzzing around them, video shows. Dr. Crystal Heath, a veterinary doctor with the Berkeley, California-based nonprofit Our Honor, took the video Oct. 8 and shared it on Twitter on Oct. 17. The dead livestock were in front of Mendonsa Farms and Land O’Lakes Borges Dairy, both in Tulare County, Heath said. There were no visible warning signs of potential biosafety risk that the exposed...

Shares of vaccine stocks Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA), Novavax (NASDAQ: NVAX), and BioNTech SE (NASDAQ: BNTX) rallied this week, appreciating 23.4%, 16.4%, and 9.3%, respectively, through Thursday trading, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. While these three stocks gained notoriety back in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, it appears this week's detection of avian bird flu in a second U.S. citizen and the first-ever detection of avian flu in a human in Australia are spurring fears of an outbreak and thus a possible boon for companies that can quickly produce a bird flu vaccine. Bird flu detected in Michigan...

Cows in California have tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and are now in quarantine, according to the state's Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). California hosts a fifth of the nation's dairy cows, and it is the number one producer of milk, butter, and ice cream, and the number two producer of cheese and yogurt in the US. The current infections of HPAI among cattle in the US started in March, when a 'mysterious' illness broke out among dairy cows in Texas...These cows were the first in the world to officially test positive for the bird flu...

This is a long video about the discovery of and research into a newly discovered essential fatty acid, C15, aka pentadecanoic acid. Very quick synopsis (by me, so may have reflect misunderstanding, lack of attention, etc.): first noticed Navy dolphins having 1 type of health problem; studied hard; found low levels of C15. Research showed this causes weakening of cell linings (and a bunch of technical stuff about mitochondria and so on), end result: this weakening of cell walls causes premature aging due to death of cells. Notice: more and more and more children now have Type 2 diabetes, which...

A new study suggests it doesn't take long for a diet free of animal products to slow biological aging rates, with the heart, liver, and hormonal and inflammatory systems all benefitting from the temporary change. Led by a team from the Stanford University School of Medicine, the study analyzed the rate of DNA methylation; a kind of reversible genetic modification which is often used as an indicator of how quickly the body is wearing out. Among a group of 21 pairs of identical twins, one of each pair adhered to a vegan diet over the course of eight weeks, while...

Billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates recently backed a California-based startup called Savor that created a new type of butter made from air instead of cows. The developers of this innovative creation claim that their unique product tastes just like real butter. They also claim it comes with a significantly lower carbon footprint which is fundamentally important for the battle against climate change. One might wonder how anyone can make butter without milk. Savor claims its process involves using heat to combine carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen. By doing this, they say that they manage to create chains that mimic the...

Horses were domesticated at least twice, researchers report June 6 in Nature. Genetic data suggest Botai hunter-gatherers in Central Asia may have been the first to domesticate the animals for milk and meat around 5,000 years ago. That attempt didn't stick. But other people living north of the Caucasian Mountains domesticated horses for transportation about 4,200 years ago, the researchers found.Those latter horses took the equine world by storm. In just a few centuries, they replaced their wild cousins and became the modern domestic horse...ancient people from southwest Asia known as the Yamnaya have been credited with being the first...

Few things are as refreshing—or nutritious—on a warm summer day as a tall glass of cold milk. With essential nutrients like calcium, potassium and vitamin A, plus protein to help build and repair muscle tissue, milk is a great choice for many active people. Even more exciting are the foods made from milk: a slice of cheese temptingly melted over a grilled hamburger or a dish of ice cream providing the perfect summer dessert. No wonder the dairy industry chose June as the perfect month to celebrate dairy foods and the family dairy farms that produce them. What Is National...

Dairy cattle moving between states must be tested for the bird flu virus, U.S. agriculture officials said Wednesday as they try to track and control the growing outbreak. The federal order was announced a day after health officials said they had detected inactivated remnants of the virus, known as Type A H5N1, in samples taken from milk during processing and after retail sale. They stressed that such remnants pose no known risk to people or the milk supply. “The risk to humans remains low,” said Dawn O'Connell of the federal Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response.

Lisa Bass is a raw milk evangelist. "When you look at all of the data, and you look at what is a health-supporting decision to make, I think raw milk comes out on top," Bass told Blaze News. Bass, a mother of eight who is known for her popular YouTube channel "Farmhouse on Boone" and blog about homemaking, is part of a growing movement of free thinkers eschewing processed milk and embracing the benefits of raw dairy. "I think we are created by God, and there is a way everything was designed," Bass said. "And if you take certain aspects...

“Such litigation shows promise for addressing gaps left by inadequate regulation and for holding major polluters accountable,” Yale researchers says. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anew legal analysis in the Columbia Journal of Environmental Law proposes filing lawsuits against America’s agriculture industry, following the same legal playbook climate activists are using against the oil industry. To be sure, climate activists have for years targeted the agriculture industry, particularly methane emission from cattle and their manure. The United Nations, in fact, has a program dedicated to educating people about how meat production is contributing to climate change. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency has a...
