Summary

A new H5N1 bird flu variant has become "endemic in cows," with cases detected in Nevada and Arizona, raising concerns about human transmission.

Experts warn that without intervention, the outbreak will continue, but Trump has cut CDC staff and halted flu vaccination campaigns.

The virus's spread coincides with a severe flu season, increasing the risk of mutation.

The administration has also stopped sharing flu data with the WHO and shifted its containment strategy away from culling infected poultry, raising fears of inadequate response.

Maybe it will get people to start drinking plant based milk if the price of course milk skyrockets like it has with eggs. All the IGF-1 in dairy isn't good for you and could even be part of the reason for the rise in colorectal cancer (the amount of dairy we consume nowadays in nuts).

Pumpkin seed milk is so good. Too bad it’s hard to come by. Harder still for zero sugar versions.

Colour me intrigued, have never come across it before..

..and brand recommendations for the zero-sugar variety?

I usually have a little milk around the house for cooking sauces and things. Something like soy or almond milk don't make good substitutes. I can't remember the last time I just drank a glass of milk.

I haven't had cows milk in years. Somehow all my sauces and things are still turning out delicious! Lots of plant milk is flavored or sweetened. Buying regular/unsweetened almond or oat milk will work for most cases. I am extremely partial to oat milk and I would honestly drink a glass of it

I wish oat milk didn’t tear my guts up, because it’s easily the best plant milk I’ve had.

[–] TinyShonk@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I've heard that pea milk tastes pretty neutral

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 hours ago

I’ll have to give it a try if I ever see some, I think all I’ve ever seen here are soy, almond, rice, and oat.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It drives me fucking nuts that in the US sweetened soy/almond milk is the default. Sometimes the unsweetened even costs a few cents more.

dude, people literally ate nothing but potatoes and milk for the longest time. it's the direct reason why we had industrialization at all. because people could live off milk and potatoes without owning large plots of land. it was revolutionary. so i find it very hard to believe that we would be consuming more dairy nowadays versus our ancestors, who literally had nothing else to eat.

It's not just the milk but also other products like cheese. "In 2001, Americans consumed 30 pounds of cheese per person, 8 times more than they did in 1909 and more than twice as much as they did in 1975. "

Which since then it's continued to rise and in 2022 was like 42 pounds.

Just do this:

  • stop testing,
  • stick a lightbulb up their rear
  • put some horse paste in their feed
  • disinfectant in their water
  • ???
  • Profit
