Got Milk? Apparently Not

"The group said it wanted "wholesale governmental support for farmers and fishing communities to transition to a plant-based food system..."
How the hell is a fisherman supposed to 'transition to plant based food'?
I'd just hose them down with freezing cold water.... they might think twice next time.

Those dummies probably think fishermen can transition from fish to seaweed.They seem to be at it again.

At this point I've heard more than enough from the "shut up and trust the science" shills. Science isn't doctrine. It should welcome challenges and the opportunity to defend positions/theories. Anytime someone counters a challenge with name-calling, it's safe to assume they've resorted to that because they can not defend their position.
Got Milk? I am still recovering from the childhood trauma of 'Humphrey's' stealing my milk....
Lovely. There are still small dairies around me here in NE Ohio, but with cheaper milk flowing from the factory farms it's a rough life for the farmers themselves. The same can be said for vegetable growers. As a society we've apparently moved on from buying local and supporting our small farmers. Food just comes from WalMart. Farms get turned into subdivisions full of McMansions around here.
Science DOES welcome challenges, that's the entire point and why it's an ever-evolving story. It's the people outside of science which contort and distort and do not comprehend, who do not understand your statement that "science is not doctrine."
My partner is a research scientist for a weightloss company right now. Her constant battle is fighting the writers (who make ads, articles etc) who make claims based on "science," but don't understand the science itself. Her job is to say, "your claim is based on one study done on rats, not humans," or, "your claim is based on a study done on 27 people and is not large enough to be accurate for X, Y, and Z reasons."
You rarely meet a real scientist who makes the bold claims you see elsewhere.
Milk is good. Dairy products are wonderful. These people are insane.
There are issues with dairy farming, practices which aren't ecologically sound or sustainable, but which many dairy farmers are addressing and dealing with. Farming is constantly changing and evolving, sometimes for the better, sometimes worse.
These people should be spending their energy on educating people on where their dairy comes from, how it gets there, and the challenges the producers face.

That just reminded me....I was milk monitor at St. Mary's Primary School back in the 70's when I was but a wee nipper.
The only benefit of holding that post was that on top of my own 1/3 pint bottle of milk I got to sup any leftovers too

Heard of a guy named Fauci?
Ever dared to ask a question re climate/global/ice-age/warming change?
Wouldn't it be grand if they hosed them down with freezing cold MILK!!.................
Yes, of course, that's what science is supposed to be, but unfortunately it is not uncommon for government, corporate media, academia and industry to promote unscientific policies, ideas and products using prominent, credentialed scientists as their spokespeople...assuring the public it is based on sound science...while at the same time slandering and censoring other highly credentialed and credible scientists who disagree with them instead of openly and honestly debating them on the data in question.

what I love is that actions like that just make your cause look worse in most cases. For example anyone notice that Anarchy as a legit part of the political discourse went out the window with the life of a guy named Ferdinand. If you have a cause no matter how big or great you think it is, you can't really force people to agree with you.
which is a really good way to get people to listen to your cause. The heavy handed approach makes people a lot more sympathetic.Wouldn't it be grand if they hosed them down with freezing cold MILK!!.................
Well... in a way it kind of does.
There IS value in a definitive consensus. This is because of the way academia works: there is literally no better way to get ahead in your field, securing that coveted tenured position, lucrative lecturing engagements, access to research grants etc., than by taking a generally accepted concept and soundly overturning it. People who think otherwise have never read a peer review process; they can be downright bloodthirsty.
This is why it's so hilarious when people suggest a conspiracy exists, of researchers all cooperating to perpetuate some sort of false narrative. The reality is, if any solid evidence existed to overturn said narrative, there would be zero cooperation... they'd be killing each other to be the first to publish.
So, yes, science definitely invites questions and challenges... but you'll want to be presenting a solid conclusion supported by high-quality data obtained via sound methodology, or you can expect to be (entirely fairly) shredded during peer review.
In this environment, you can see that different research teams are competitors more than they're collaborators. This being the case, if a large percentage of them are forced to agree with one another, they aren't doing so out of some sense of professional courtesy. They're simply FORCED to, because no legitimate data exists to support a competing position.
THIS is the value of consensus in science. You can always find a single crackpot anywhere... you can find ONE geologist who believes the earth is flat. You can find ONE airline pilot who believes in chemtrails. You can find ONE doctor who believes that respiratory infections are caused by demon sperm; ONE zoologist who believes in cryptids etc.
But when a large majority of their peers hold the opposite consensus... there is likely a reason.
It is a great shame Leslie Nielsen died in 2010 as he would have made a perfect Dr. Fauchi or an even better President Frank Drebin! 
Where is raw goat's milk considered illegal?IBTL
I love goat's meat but I can't bide goat's milk or cheese. I can however drink cow's milk for England I love the stuff so much.
Ewe's milk is very creamy but like goat's milk, I'm no fan.
