What is even happening?

Yeah, but unpasteurized milk tastes gross.

No, it truly doesn't. It's awesome. Have you had it? Whenever I went to my family's dairy farm in Prince Edward Island, I drank raw milk. They kept it in a pitcher in the fridge, and you had to shake it to mix up the cream (unless you didn't want to).

After one summer trip there though, when school started up, I came down with Hand, Foot and Mouth, which they swear isn't the same as Hoof and Mouth. BUT, the family's herd got Hoof and Mouth, after we left. We've never been convinced there isn't an unknown connection, because at the time, nobody else I knew had (ever) had Hand, Foot and Mouth. It's the first time we'd heard of the virus, and nobody else ended up with it.

You can all tell me I'm wrong now, but I won't believe you. I'll just pretend I do.

My point is, I don't think I'd drink raw milk again, even though I love it so.

The unpasteurized milk adherents also believe that for raw milk to be safe it must come from cows that only eat grass. Corn-fed cow milk is bad.

Not just unpasteurized milk. If you get pasteurized milk that is grass instead of grain fed, the levels of CLA and beneficial fats are higher.

Once again, it comes down to The Evil Which Is Corn.

Not "The Evil That is Corn?" (I don't want to start a kerfuffle, I honestly have that/which confusion issues.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Corn, or maize to be specific, like most things, is not itself evil. Evil things like to hide in it, though. And the corn lobby is evil, because they've managed to get USFD approval to add corn products to just about everything known to man that can be purchased in a store. Plus the evil chemical tweaking of ordinary, healthful corn syrup to make it a nasty, addictive and nutritionally detrimental component of prepared foods from baby foods to power bars.

If you can't put a comma in front of which, it should probably be that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

"That" is used for identifying information. "Which" is for giving additional information. So, "The dog that I got from Mike is playing in the yard," makes it clear that you're talking about the dog from Mike, rather than any other dog. "The dog, which I got from Mike, is playing in the yard," says that there's a dog playing in they yard, and adds the additional bit of information that this dog happened to be given to you by Mike.

Really? Because I haven't found much.

Well, not a lot. But some. Mostly Dean/OMC, with the occasional hit of Sam/OMC from the Stanford days. Stele3's 1300 Days has a bunch of Dean slash. I disagree with her John characterization, but that's a great story sequence anyway.

I've also seen a bit of Dean-as-rentboy around the internets. And Hossgal's got a link to a Dean/Gordon thing on her recs list, which almost works.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If you get pasteurized milk that is grass instead of grain fed, the levels of CLA and beneficial fats are higher.

Oh. Well our cows ate mostly grass. With some corn and oats.

(plus the occasional model rocket that got lost in the hayfield and chopped up with the rest of the hay...)
