Ever wonder why your mom made you drink so much milk as a kid? Turns out the answer is a lie.

Btw we recently experimented with a new map only format to tell the story of the US government meddling in other countries. Check it out and let me know if you like it and we’ll do more! https://youtu.be/_wIOqHSsV9c

  6. Simply put,, human beings are not cows or calfs. Your mother is not a cow and you are not a calf. You are not a bovine. Not to mention all of the steroids and pesticides that they use these days. Although I know that logic, truth, facts and reason doesn’t work with a large majority of human beings these days. They will continue to drink milk. The conditioning (marketing/propaganda/ manipulation) that they’ve gone through is way too strong.

  10. Johnny Harris: The Independent Journalism Lie We've All Been Sold (He isn't independent despite claiming so, and admitted while also doubling down on his financial gain from the WEF when he made pro WEF propaganda.)

  15. Interestingly enough…If you would had included raw milk in this video, at least at the part of the dietary benefits, as containing gut-healthy bacterias, vitamins and enzymes which can break down lactose, the other part of the video would have been debunked. Just like any other organic foods that nature provide us, we can benefit from it. The problem come when we want to trade the pristine for the service of the industrialization.

  17. And tbh, drinking milk doesn't even seem all tnat normal, when you really think about it.

    Like, even if I knew I had been conditioned all these years to accept dairy as totally normal and fine (by either society and/or the governmenr or whatever) it's still hard to shake off just how weird it is.

    It's like, when you really stop and think about it, I myself wouldn't even drink a glass of my neighbor's milk, not even if she was a super happy, healthy & fit human being.

    Nor my dog's milk that I completely raised 100% hormone free, A-1 healthy and "free range."

    Nor a wild otter's milk, bear's milk, bat's milk, etc etc.

    But then you get told about a glass of cow's milk, and this image of squeeky clean glass comes to mind; on a neat / organized countertop with the pristine white liquid called 'milk' appears (that apparently is needed for both health and bones)

    But it's like, no. It's the liquid secretions of some big ass animal that made it for their offspring. It was pulled from somewhere deep inside their big bodies, straight to their weird hanging animal titties, and then we bottle it up to drink it straight? Yum yum? It's honestly kinda gross.

    And again, I wouldn't even drink the milk of a healthy human for crying out loud, and that's literally my own species.

    Or, to get really weird with it, imagine if someone told you that your mom was making milk again and that you could have a glass of it for breakfast tomorrow. Literally YOUR MOM with the milk that was made biologically FOR YOU, that GREW YOU as an infant, and I'm sure anyone would 100% barf all over the floor at just the thought of it..

    But then give us cow's milk and it seems as normal as breathing air? It's hinestlt the weirdest conflict.

    Yeah, I think the gov / big dairy really did a number on us, huh.

  19. You don't get calcium from milk because it has too much phosphorus. Watch Dr. Robert Lustig who has treated children with calcium deficiencies. He didn't feed them milk. He had to change the proportion of calcium to phosphorus and give it to them in other ways and other foods to cure them. Calcium from milk will not bind with bone because all the phosphorus prevents it.

  20. Yes, why get vitamins from milk, a substance that encourages you to self-regulate your diet, and take a bunch of non-protein containing pills. Or eat almonds which mess up California's water supply. Or soya products which mess up valuable habitats. You always have a choice. Cows may produce methane but, if fields are well rotated they act as valuable natural fertiliser.
