Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 THAT is very wishful thinking on Sally's part and I think she is dreaming. I wish I had a dollar for all the people I know that think I'm crazy for drinking raw milk. Organic is still not mainstream. And now we have all the confusion between organic, natural (whatever THAT means!), grass-fed, free-range. All these labels that people don't understand. There was someone at the local Whole Foods selling low-heat pasteurized milk recently. He was touting it as " almost raw " . There is no such thing. That's like being almost pregnant. One person that I work with bought some and it soured in 3 days. Another person in the conversation commented that they like to buy organic milk because it tastes better but it sours too quickly because it doesn't have any preservatives in it. Another person said that her husband told her she couldn't drink raw milk because she was too important to the family and he didn't want her to die. I just had to sit there and be quiet. Where would I start to educate these people? I did send them to www.realmilk.com, but the husband refused to read it. And then there's the peanut butter scandal. Yes, the conditions in the factory were deplorable. But, no one seems to realize that the people that died had to have a ridiculously compromised immune system to succumb. Otherwise, every one that ate it would have died. The level of change that needs to take place will not happen in our lifetime.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I believe I actually got some of the peanuts from that factory. I caved in and had some Reese's Pieces one day. When I had finished it, I realized it had peanut butter in it. Anyway, I had a pain in my stomach that afternoon, and diarrhea for the next day or two. That was all that happened. I can't prove that was the cause, but the stomach ache was shortly after I ate the candy, and I couldn't find another cause for the diarrhea (normally I know what's causing it, too much of something fibrous.) I wasn't worried, since I've been (mostly!) on WAPF foods since 1997, and although I have diabetes, my immune system is good and strong. Out of curiosity, though, I checked the recall list, and it has certain ice creams and cookies with Reese's Pieces listed, but not Reese's Pieces itself. What sense does that make?
