Stock markets provide important insights into which industries are on the rise and which are heading down.
Look at the trend for Dean Foods, the dairy market monopolists, over the last five years, and you’ll see a clear downward path in share price, from over $16 a share five years ago to under $2 currently. You didn’t need me to tell you that—all you have to do is view the dairy aisle in pretty much any grocery, to see that space once given over to milk and cream has been replaced by soy, almond, and coconut “milk”. Or just have a 90-second conversation with the owner of a small dairy farm.
You can also read about this trend in the prospectus for the high-flying Beyond Meat (BYND) initial stock offering: “A key analogy for both the approach to and the scale of our opportunity is the strategy by which the plant-based dairy industry captured significant market share of the dairy industry. In the United States, the current size of the non-dairy milk category is equivalent to approximately 13% of the size of the dairy milk category. According to the Mintel Report, the non-dairy milk category in the United States was estimated to be approximately $2 billion in 2017. The success of the plant-based dairy industry was based on a strategy of creating plant-based dairy products that tasted better than previous non-dairy substitutes, packaged and merchandised adjacent to their dairy equivalents. We believe that by applying the same strategy to the plant-based meat category, it can grow to be at least the same proportion of the approximately $270 billion meat category in the United States, which over time would represent a category size of $35 billion in the United States alone.”
(By the way, IPO statements are great ways to learn about important trends in new industries. I suggest you review the BYND filing to better understand how they see their role in the established food business.)
For now, the markets are telling us that a whole new food industry is being born for plant-based “meat.” As I wrote in my previous post, the new stock offering from BYND has gone crazy, rising in less than three weeks from an initial price of $25 to around $90 a share. A lot of market analysts will tell you that BYND is way overpriced, and shouldn’t be valued at something in excess of $5 billion. Another fake-meat startup, Impossible Foods, is being valued at more than $2 billion, before it even goes public, according to one report I read. These two companies together, at more than $7 billion, aren’t that far behind Tyson Foods, the behemoth in the meat industry valued at about $30 billion, except that Tyson has been in business for 85 years.
I heard an analyst from Motley Fool, a consumer stock advisory service, caution on a video discussion against buying into BYND. “Margins for food products tend to be low,” he said.
A number of readers here have reacted negatively to the BYND excitement because of concerns about the possible presence of glyphosate (the poison in Roundup) and because of corporate manipulation of prices and promotion. They may be right as far as the stock is concerned—it may well flame out. But the company is definitely onto some important trends in food consumption in the U.S., including concerns about animal welfare, the environmental impact of Big Ag practices, and concerns about climate change.
One overlooked outcome from all the hype is that good “real” food could benefit. Raw milk producers tell me that business continues to boom for many of them, despite the crash in pasteurized milk products. I think that what may be happening is that what we sometimes call “good” food may become more popular, and valued. Yes, people may put almond milk in their smoothies, but when they want real food to feed their children, raw milk yogurt and kefir and eggs from pastured hens will be the choices. When they want a special meal to celebrate an anniversary, then real steak from grass-fed beef, or real chicken from pastured chicken, will be the choices. If the price for such items is double or more what the commodity Big Ag variety costs, that’s okay, because people understand you have to pay for quality.
I’m bringing a bunch of Beyond Meat burgers to a cookout tonight, to see how I like them and how others react. It’s an expensive treat: the “burgers” pictured above run $6 for two quarter-pounders, which works out to $12 a pound for veggie-based “meat”. Pretty rich. Yet when I sought out the Beyond Meat burgers at a New Hampshire Whole Foods Market on Friday afternoon, they were among the last packages available. “Amazing,” said a meat counter man. “I just filled up the shelves a couple hours ago.”
“A systematic review of 11 studies, including 7 in vitro and 4 animal studies, evaluated the potential chemopreventive effects of kefir.3 In the review, all of the studies demonstrated some anticancer property, primarily antiproliferative or decreased proliferative effects on cancer cells and tumor growth inhibition in animal studies.”
https://www.cancertherapyadvisor.com/home/tools/fact-sheets/fermented-dairy-and-cancer/
I doubt if any of these 11 studies used raw milk, so it’s possible raw milk kefir would have shown even more powerful anticancer properties. Milk, promulgated by many to cause cancer because of it’s IGF-1 content, is ironically instead the foundation for an anticancer food, kefir.
Real meat is also promulgated by many to be carcinogenic. I wonder how real meat will compare to fake meat in their abilities to trigger or enhance cancer.
Winston Churchill said, Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. Studies that do not deliberately address the lipid peroxidation problem will always fail in terms of furnishing a biologically plausible explanation for cancer. There are, to be sure, foods and supplements that promote better health, that furnish the biochemical resources to slow the progression of cancer. However, if the goal is to prevent cancer altogether, it is crucial to remove the cause.
Meat of any sort contains arachidonic acid, the most abundant polyunsaturated fat in our bodies. All polyunsaturated fatty acids are subject to peroxidation so trying to balance the omega-3/6 ratio by supplementing with omega-3s does is problematic. For example: “Combining reduction of the intake of arachidonic acid (AA) with enhancement of the intake of oleic acid will, moreover, also be a better strategy for reducing the total extent of in vivo lipid peroxidation, rather than adding more EPA (with 5 double bonds) and DHA (with 6 double bonds) to a diet already over-abundant in arachidonic acid and linoleic acid. A reduction of the dietary ratio of total polyunsaturated fatty acids to oleic acid will not only make plasma lipoproteins less vulnerable to oxidation, but must also be expected to lead to reduction of the rate of formation of mutagenic aldehydes that arise as secondary products of lipid peroxidation, such as malondialdehyde, crotonaldehyde, acrolein and 4-hydroxynonenal. High rates of production of these mutagenic aldehydes must be expected simultaneously to lead to enhancement of the risk of various forms of cancer, and enhancement of the rate of mitochondrial DNA aging, which could lead to earlier onset of various age-associated degenerative diseases perhaps including type 2 diabetes. The degree of fatty acid unsaturation of mitochondrial membrane lipids has been found to be one of those biochemical parameters that are most strongly correlated with longevity, when different species of mammals and birds are compared, with a low degree of fatty unsaturation being correlated with less lipid peroxidation and a longer normal life-span. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2875212/
As food gets faker and faker, I’m hoping that drives people back to real food. I know that is true for some… wish it were true for more. And how were those burgers???
Well, the group I was with tonight is with you, Sally. These are a bunch of middle class, health conscious men, and they thought the Beyond Burgers were….okay, a decent meat-like feel, but not especially tasty, a little too salty, and not nearly as good as the real hamburgers that were also on the grill. I had to agree.
Actually relieved to hear it!
hi david ……..kathy here, sorry way off topic …..need your help again can you call me.i lost your number
kathy from new york…(uddermilk) think you still have my number thanx
‘way, ‘way off-topic
and how is Sam Girod doing, lately?
reason I ask, is : just today I came upon a book he’d appreciate.
it’s : Inspired by Nature, Proven by Science;… by Bill E Cham. A high-quality volume in which Dr Cham relates how he discovered BEC5, which cures skin cancer. Cham presents compelling evidence from his own research and others’ that solasodine rhamnosyl glycosides derived from eggplant, is the primary effective substance in salves which eliminate skin cancers.
My guess, is : this is what was in Harry Hoxsey’s formula, which, beyond argument was curing – underscore “curing” – skin cancer. check out “Curaderm”
“remember those in bonds …”
Sam Girod is still in prison, though my understanding is that he has been moved to a facility nearer to his family, so family visits are more convenient. I also understand that he’s had a tough go of it because of the regular exposure to things he has spent his life trying to avoid, like television and bad food.
To get the red “meat juices” in these fake burgers, they have genetically engineered yeast whose DNA was modified to produce leghemoglobin from soy(probably also GMO to withstand glyphosate). Yum…So, I’ll pass on the Beyond Burgers.
The arachidonic acid content of animal products ought to be an important consideration when choosing between grass-fed and industrial meat. But it isn’t. Why? Because nobody pays attention to animal science research. [1]
Beef is not as problematic as chicken, pork, and turkey because cattle are not fed grains during the entire production cycle. [2]
Dairy is not as problematic as meat of any sort because there is very little arachidonic acid in cow’s milk. [3] That is why arachidonic acid is routinely added to infant formula. [4]
In truth, you are what what you eat eats. And what animals are fed these days makes most animal products problematic for health when consumed with reckless abandon. [5] I learned this the hard way. If I had known to limit my consumption of seed oils and industrial animal products, I could have saved myself considerable pain, inconvenience, and expense. [6]
Readers of this comment would do well to check out reference number 5 and ponder its implications.

Also David, while I agree with you that these new manufactured meat products show that many people want to eat healthier, these products themselves are highly processed and unatural and as you know, really shouldn’t be trusted.
Healthy food means naturally produced food; the more you change food and tamper with it the less healthy and more dangerous it becomes.
Long term what will happen to these new companies and these new food products? They will be incorporated into the Corporate unatural food products industry and help drain the health of people just like the products of today they are attempting to replace.
Steve, I think we have enough evidence that so-called natural foods like meat and dairy, when produced by Big Ag, are tainted by antibiotics and GMO/glyphosate grains. Animals have no access to pasture. The Beyond Meat products are combinations of veggies, which are non-GMO certified. To me, those are big improvements. Plus, none of the pollution associated with the CAFOs. As you suggest, this may all change longer term, but for now I see these new products as positive replacements for the Big Ag crap.
One of the four main ingredients of Beyond Meat Products, David, is Canola Oil.
There are many reasons why Canola Oil is not a good food choice, see:
https://heartmdinstitute.com/diet-nutrition/honest-truth-canola-oil/
if the company is already compromising the healthfulness of their products with unhealthy ingredients, then it really isn’t a good idea anyhow, and we are back to Processed Food again what ever their clever marketing says.
Here is another recent article with some info about Beyond Meat, in case you didn’t already have some doubts on what to believe:

So, Mark and David and whoever else… please explain to me why Trump is the devil and everything would be SO much better if Hillary had been elected? Would there really be much of a difference? Aren’t they all just puppets on a string? The hope we had with Trump is that he’s so rich that he can’t be bought, but evidently that’s not entirely true either. I also fail to see much of a connection between whatever suit is in the White House and raw milk, or how much of what the FDA decides is good for you or me or our children. Life goes on but so does sickness and death.
Ora, meant to respond to you on this….without provoking huge angry discussion. You are correct that “life goes on….”
I’m not sure things would be better with Hillary, but I do think they would be different. The big difference, for me, is that there would almost certainly be greater respect for our key institutions, beginning with the U.S. Constitution, and the rule of law. This is apart from the particular policies/choices of either person as president. For example, I don’t care for Trump’s Supreme Court choices, but I respect them because it’s his duty as president to make them, and the U.S. Senate approved them, after extensive hearings. All laid out in the Constitution.
However, Trump is the first president to take the approach that he can simply ignore or change a constitutionally mandated process. A major example was for him to declare a state of emergency and commit funds for building a wall along the Mexican border, after Congress refused to allocate him all the funds he wanted. Some people will argue that other presidents have declared states of emergency, but never has a president done so to spend $$$ that Congress refused to allocate.
A similar process is playing out now with Congressional subpoenas that Trump and his people are ignoring. No other president has taken this approach, and that includes Nixon and Bill Clinton when they were under possible impeachment proceedings.
This kind of defiance may feel good to people who support Trump, and they have all kinds of rationalizations about why they are okay (all the pols are corrupt, look at what so-and-so did, etc.), but they lead inevitably down a path toward tyranny. All I can say is that tyranny is fine when your guy is in power, but not so good when a different dictator is in power who has a different “base” that, perhaps, wants to socialize industry or confiscate guns. If you don’t think coups and overthrows can’t happen here, just look around the world–they happen all the time. We’ve had a good run with the rule of law, but it depends in good measure on politicians of good will. Increasingly, the good will seems ever more sparse.
As for the raw milk situation you allude to, I doubt Hillary would have been a friend of raw dairy, but I also doubt she would have directed the U.S. Justice Department to target private food clubs, which distribute much of the raw milk in this country, as Trump has done. We’ll have to see how that plays out in the courts….to the extent people are still obeying court rulings.
Not sure about that David, remember the( food) anti-hoarding act was passed under Bill Clinton’s presidency.
Oh, and as for fake food – have at it but beware. I’ll stick with the same sheet that I’ve been eating forever even as my friends, family and others my age go through illnesses and deaths while I just keep eating, living and drinking same as I ever did, and avoid artificial food at every step possible.
Is this natural? Never really heard much about oat milk. Opinions from those that have tried it? Curious. Could it have a major impact? Do you feel threatened by it Mark?
https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/05/19/with-dairy-wane-oat-milk-becomes-sensation/LVLWI8b4aBzNKbIIPVhwUL/story.html?s_campaign=breakingnews:newsletter
Oat based drinks (oatmeal water) have been consumed for centuries… they are quite pleasant to drink especially when mixed with honey or maple syrup and a bit of salt. My grandfather used to take a jug of oatmeal water with him when working in the field or in the bush.
Ora,
Our customers want the real thing. Simple as that. If they want real oat milk so be it.
Just keep it real and whole.
My cows especially like oats and they make it into real oat raw milk.
Hah hah.
And here’s another is the “fake food” series:
https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/05/05/720041152/seafood-without-the-sea-will-lab-grown-fish-hook-consumers
There is no shortage of self-righteous, thieving busybodies, especially when it comes to socialist/Marxist/church driven ideologies… and although not mutually exclusive to such ideologies or that their point of views are totally flawed; rather, those who advocate such point of views tend to be driven by their ego and obsession with control… once they get a taste of power via the bureaucratic regulatory system that they implement, endorse and promote, pride and greed ultimately becomes their and the bureaucratic system’s modus operandi… With respect to the California resident in the following article, Milton Freedman’s statement holds true, “Hell hath no fury like a bureaucrat scorned…” Indeed, the enforcement powers granted to these government alphabet agencies need to be severely curtailed… failing this, I predict that in the not to distant future, if the Constitution is not upheld, socialist states such as California will eventually use this increasingly common practice of “health and safety receivership” as a way to manipulate parents who refuse to vaccinate their children or educate them according to state mandates… Indeed, the state will seize the children, vaccinating, feeding and educating them as they see fit, all the while forcing any parent who opposes it’s intention(s) to pay for the cost of doing so.

“INTRODUCING THE MEAT BASED CARROT”
https://www.lonesomelands.com/new-blog/2018/9/2/introducing-the-meat-based-carrot
“A while back Goldman Sachs called “Meatless Meats, one of the hottest emerging trends.” There’s just one problem. As you might have guessed, “meatless meats” don’t exist anymore than carless cars, dirtless dirt, or moneyless money. What they really meant was fake meat, but being clear about their recommendations isn’t exactly Goldman’s strong suit. Over the last year the animal rights activist investors seem to have taken over Wall Street and Silicon Valley convincing everybody that fake meat is a great idea. They have also taken over the publications of Forbes, Fortune, CNBC, and anything else an investor might be looking at… I come from a long line of farmers and livestock producers. I’m not a natural crook so, this isn’t easy. All this carrot talk reminds me of when I used to pull carrots out of my Grandparents garden, brush the dirt off and take a bite. The best meat I’ve ever tasted came from the animals raised on our farm. The ground beef used to make my carrot is from an animal that I helped raise. Something just doesn’t seem right about taking such a pure honest product and lying about it. Farming and ranching have always been the most honest work to me, but now these professions are being vilified. They say meat is killing people and destroying the environment. They do it to advance their animal rights agenda, to put livestock producers out of business, to promote veganism, to make money. Now the only way to save the world is to stop eating real food and start eating fake food. Its the lie that I just can’t wrap my head around how they got anyone to believe it… I miss the days when food could be food, plants could be plants, meat could be meat, and people could be honest.”

Finally a good study that exposes how highly processed foods are killing us.
Drink and eat raw dairy and thrive!
It seems that George Carlin was right … the food we eat is killing us 🙁
There is no argument from me that highly processed or adulterated food is making people sick. That said, the medical profession or BMJ if you will, is continually searching for ways to deflect attention away from its toxic, knee jerk, invasive medicine based approach, that ranks as one of the leading causes of disease, chronic illness and death in the developed world…
https://thedrswolfson.com/8-ways-conventional-medicine-failing/
The question that should to be addressed is, “why is food adulterated to the extent that it is”? The answer, to increase shelf life and so-called food safety; both of which are a direct result of systematic cheap food policies and societies antagonistic war against microbes…
As “they say” just look at the list of ingredients. If your grandmother wouldn’t know what that is, you should not make it part of your regular diet.
Ora,
Here is a list of ingredient being injected (a hell of a lot more invasive then when consumed) via multible doses of various vaccines into children that I wager you “grandmother wouldn’t know”… sodium chloride, monobasic sodium phosphate, dibasic sodium phosphate, monobasic potassium phosphate, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium taurodeoxycholate, ovalbumin, sucrose, neomycin, polymyxin B, beta-propiolactone, thimerosal (a mercury derivative}, alum (aluminium), squalene, polysorbate 80, polysorbate 20, sorbitan trioleate, sodium citrate, citric acid monohydrate, kanamycin, barium, egg proteins, CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide), and formaldehyde, MF59C, α-tocopheryl hydrogen succinate, hydrocortisone, gentamicin sulfate, sodium deoxycholate, baculovirus and Spodoptera frugiperda cell proteins, baculovirus and cellular DNA, Madin Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cell protein, protein other than HA, MDCK cell DNA, cetyltrimethlyammonium bromide, and, nonylphenol ethoxylate, egg protein, octylphenol ethoxylate (Triton X-100), monosodium glutamate, hydrolyzed porcine gelatin, sucrose, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).
Not listed are the GRAS (generally regarded as safe) lipid based excipients such as peanut oil and dairy derivatives such as, lactose, bovine casein and lactalbumins. Some of the vaccines that use or contain the above GRAS ingredients include BCG, Hib, influenza, Meningococcal, MMR and Polio. And most insidious of all, there are the not listed incidental ingredients such as various animal retroviruses, mycoplasma, nanobacteria, bacterial source endotoxins etc. etc. etc… As Pediatrician Larry Palevsky, MD states, “Most of the public, and most of my colleagues in medicine, are unaware that small particles of these products are being injected into children, and most children are receiving almost all of them at once because they’re receiving so many vaccines at the same time.”
Wow, thanks Ken and David. If that’s not an eye-opener I don’t know what is
As of May 10, the ban on raw dairy in New Jersey for pets has been lifted!
https://www.petfoodjustice.com/updates-actions
Congratulations, just like Maryland, you finally have access to raw milk. There is a mom in our HUS group that bought legal raw milk from a farmer in her state and went on vavcation in Florida and bought raw milk sold as pet for in a health food store for her child. Almost killed him and now is left with kidney damage.
Mark, I thought you said Germany had safe raw milk. I guess not.
https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2019/06/bvl-informs-about-illness-risk-from-raw-milk/
Mary, I don’t think anyone here has ever made the argument that Germany, or any country or locale for that matter, has entirely risk-free raw milk. It’s definitely not clear from this article that Germany has unsafe raw milk. The German public health authorities seem to have issued a report that Food Safety News picked up that seems rational and unemotional (in contrast to American public health authorities). There are recommendations that children and the immune compromised consume their milk pasteurized. But there are no recommendations that raw milk regulations on distribution be changed. The article suggests that most of the illnesses from raw milk are from campylobacter. There is no mention of HUS. The implication is that the 221 illnesses reported for one year were mild (from campy) and that they don’t represent any kind of serious public health concern.
Germany has two raw milk production and distribution systems: Hofmilch (farm milk) and vorzugsmilch (certified milk). Details are in this paper uploaded to a public file archive at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wmJdQVWDNcyf2BH–0mcxV0oJUiHvdPX/view?usp=sharing .
Vorzugsmilch has stricter production standards and bacteria counts are lower than with hofmilch.
ALL foods can be dangerous, ALL foods have the ability to be toxic. THAT is reality.
From the Food Safety News article…
However…
“Certified milk is packaged raw milk from certain previously approved and controlled dairy farms. The animals, farm and certified milk are subject to special hygiene measures. In samples of certified milk NO pathogens were detected in the monitoring programs, so the high hygienic requirements (do) mitigate contamination.”
~ emphasis mine.
Certified raw milk in Germany is similar to legal, state licensed, tested and permitted raw milk in USA. It is subject to higher standard hygiene measures.
At RAWMI, we takes the same principle as certified raw and yet push the safety levels even higher through even higher levels of vigilance.
~ Edwin Shank
From the Lancaster Farming newspaper:
https://www.rawmilkinstitute.org/updates/for-raw-milk-production-training-really-matters?fbclid=IwAR2MYWyCPJp2i0imbKJ6a1TRnGAcvgZT3PBK_HjB8GGIaxZP8WlHg89Cb2M
I echo Edwins comments here.
I am unclear as to the details of this Germany based report. The history of raw milk in Germany goes back to the 1930s and their track record is excellent.
Zero illness ( especially when mild like Campy…. (Campy can be considered a natural immunity exposure via oral verses state sponsored needle injection ) is not the appropriate reference point. How about looking at the massive reductions of chronic illness: asthma, ear infections, colds, flu, obesity, arthritis, inflammation, Crohns???? No one watching the most important other half of this comparison.
Looking solely at Campy is a very poor measure of illness verses health and raw milk markets.
By the way, we sampled about 3,000 pieces of OPDC truly raw cheese yesterday at the Big Family Play Day at the Autry Museum park. Huge home run….returns to get a second and third bite was routine. Everyone loved truly raw cheese especially the kids.
Mark, do you outsource milk to make all that cheese and butter?
Mary,
Have you been watching the listeria and pasteurized dairy product recalls and illnesses???
So much for guaranteed safety!
Do we have to worry about the dangers of these diseases?

The Biggest Undercover Dairy Investigation in History – Fair Oaks Farms and Coca Cola
fbclid=IwAR1rnVf3LFw4cdjzvYRsSCzTOrgENMd_5jgdna-wNld44YERFmlKho5lxd4
OMG! I had nooo idea! Thanks for posting. Beyond outrage. How can humans be so consistently cruel?
Fair Oaks story has been all over the conventional Dairy blogs. This 30,000 CAFO operation has not addressed the details of being on stage as a brand. Every detail must be addressed. When anti dairy animals rights activists bury themselves deeply and become long term employees. There will be challenges. Several of the videos and mistreatment was actually perpetuated by the activists themselves then portrayed as CAFO dereliction of duty to animal welfare. That’s just not fare. When activists cheat like that, there will be blow back on their agendas.
Two months ago the FDA showed up and stayed for four days. It was FSMA inspection time. They took hundreds of environmental swabs. They swabbed under the door mats, behind the sinks, on the ceilings…..they checked everywhere. They found zero pathogens in our creamery. Nothing. Its a tribute to our RAWMI RAMP pland and raw milk Kefir. Kefir i really a pathogen peace keeper in our creamery. We also don’t go crazy with sanitizers like Quaternary Ammonias.
Mark, could you please explain how raw milk kefir is working as a pathogen peace keeper in your creamery. What are you doing with the kefir?
Here’s the latest look at plant based milks, from a publication that imo has just about the highest integrity in analyzing these matters: http://archive.mailengine1.com/csb/Public/show/f8h0-13twiu–l4lrx-9bo1qkx9
Starting a Raw Milk Enterprise
https://pasafarming.org/starting-a-raw-milk-enterprise/
this product is dubious..either you make a veggie burger or a meat burger not a wanna be.im reading all the comments here on how this skanky fraken food is made its not appetizing at all.either you make a reall veggie burger which is really easy to make at home or you a real meat burger.
soy protein isolate i think is in this franken food thats real toxic.easy recipie to make a real garden burger …freeze them also…take out as needed.
ground up fine all the different kinds of veggies you like..add 1 boiled poatotoe mashed up add 1/2 cup parmesean reggiano cheese finely grated, 1 egg or 2 depending on how many veggies there are.grate in 1/2 small fresh onion.note all the veggies providing they are very finely ground are not cooked.make thin pattys …then freeze.best way to cook is with ghee.by the way this is my grandmothers northern italian recipie .she use to call them poulpette.
there are tooo many products like this allready on the market..although this one seems a bit more frankenstein-ish
Kefir is a peace keeper because it serves as an innocullum which competes with pathogenic bacteria for food and space in the environment.
Many inspectors have said this to me. You won’t find pathogens because you have to many good bugs.
This is an over generalization but I think you get what I am saying. The creamery has a biome just like your gut. Our creamery has an immune system.
Even the organic standards consider this. Quaternary Ammonias are prohibited because of their effects which can damage bacterial balance.
Sterile is not the goal. The goal is clean with good helping bacteria alive as well. Pasteurization plants have their own immune systems and they are in trouble most of the time. Listeria loves a sterile ( or at least a low competition environment) environment with plenty of cold and food.
Interesting news. I do not understand why so much fear “not real meat”? After all, it can be made as safe as possible for a person.
But the big price pushes away and makes the meat not so affordable.
F-0765 The Medicine Man: Health Food Frauds AMA Film (circa 1950)
Of course, many individuals and groups have capitalized on fear for the sake of control and profit, and the group of individuals most guilty of condescendingly promoting fear in the name of their so called “science” belong to the “church of modern medicine”, or if you will, the AMA and it affiliates the FDA, the CDC, and Big Pharma…
The following statement that I shared with you folks last month by the late Pediatrician Dr. Robert Mendelsohn sums up very well the AMA’s motives for the above video, “Doctors are given one reward for swallowing the fear pill so willingly and for sacrificing the healing instincts and human emotions that might help their practice: arrogance. To hide their fear, they’re taught to adopt the authoritarian attitude and demeanor of their professors”.
There is an ongoing battle of fears ragging between conventional doctors and the pharmaceutical industry on the one side and the public at large on the other who are the recipients of the above institutions invasive and toxic treatments… Whose fear is going to prevail???
Check out 9:20-9:35 time mark – great quote about alternative ‘health’ foods:
that it’s “bigger than the dope traffic…” and that people need their money for “milk and eggs, for bread, for meat and vegetables, the things that really make kids grow…”
–at least they got this part right but failed to differentiate from highly processed, factory forms of these foods. LOL, prudent advice may be to avoid both extremes: nutrition from a pill and potions as well as food from Petri dishes and test tubes.
Aluminium in brain tissue in autism
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0946672X17308763
The following is an excellent interview with Dr. Christopher Exley noted in the above Elsevier article as a participating scientist in the referenced research linking aluminum to autism. Not mentioned in the article is aluminum’s use as an adjuvant and its role in causing ASIA (Autoimune/Inflamatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants).

This dubious claim that it is safe to inject aluminum into a human or animal along with all the other intentional and unintentional toxic degenerative substances such as mercury and cancer causing retroviruses via vaccination is absolute foolishness and insanity to the nth degree… for those who should no better then to do so and have engaged in a concerted effort to cover-up the facts their actions are unconscionable and indefensible.

Here it is guys. The science behind the modern health crisis is looming larger and larger and getting closer and closer.
This article zeros in on why pathogens start to effect the lining of the gut and make some more susceptible to pathogen infection than others. When bacteria run out of food ( fiber and probiotics ) they start to eat the mucosal lining.
Hence shigatoxin etc reactions etc.
If only the doctors would read and learn and put into practice.
Doctors are rendered stupid by pharma at continuing education conventions.
The Shiga toxin produced by pathogenic E.coli is what breaks down mucosal cells.
After ingestion, E. coli O157:H7 and similar STEC serotypes produce high levels of various toxins in the large intestine; these toxins are closely related to the potent cytotoxins produced by Shigella dysenteriae type 1. These toxins appear to directly damage mucosal cells and vascular endothelial cells in the gut wall. If absorbed, they exert toxic effects on other vascular endothelia (eg, renal).
all true, Mary McGonigle_Martin … and required reading for producers of spinach, sprouts, et cetera, which have been proven to kill some of those folks who ingested them. I urge you to apply your relentless energy to having those foodstuffs outlawed, rather than railing-away as you do … a decade now? … against the best food in the world, REAL MILK. And when you educate all of those industries, go take on ultra-high temp. pasteurization, which is spreading listeria in deadly doses, even as I type. A lot more victims of that mistake, than ever happened from drinking raw milk
for further edification …. take a boo at the website of realmilk.com which shows that back in 2000, there were about 17 states in the Republic wherein raw milk was legal for human consumption. Now, it’s 43. Point being > The trend is not your friend
like the sound of distant armies on the move, is an idea whose time has come

This is really not surprising…
“It turns out that the brain, which has historically thought to be a sterile environment, may actually be host to its own microbiome; not unlike the environment of the gut!”

“The poetry of all life as interdependent is indeed unfolding in the hallowed halls of research science. It is becoming more and more inaccurate to vilify microorganisms as the evil “other” that invades and infects us. Through discoveries like this, we are being initiated to a new worldview that asks us to live in harmony with the natural world, to perceive our interdependence, and to end the wars we are fighting in hopes of finally one day beating those invisible assailants into submission…as they are, in fact, inextricably in us.”
Ken, you posted the wrong link. What you linked to shows Rep. Jordan questioning John Dean.
OOPS and thank you… Here is the correct link.

“California Court Orders Doctor to Turn Over Vaccine Records”

Re. a Vaccine Choice Canada link I accidently inserted yesterday Ted Kuntz states in part,
“If we take these pro-mandate advocates at their word, then it would follow that we also cannot allow any child or adult to attend our public schools and daycares who isn’t fully immunized. This means not just being vaccinated, but rather genuinely immunized against infectious diseases.
“So, this begs the question(s):
(1) Are immune-compromised children who can’t be vaccinated allowed to attend school and daycare?
(2) Is the 10% of the population who are non-responders to vaccination allowed to attend schools and daycares?
(3) Is the significant percent of the population whose antibody levels have waned allowed to attend school and daycare?
(4) Is any titre testing being conducted to determine who has adequate antibody levels and therefore safe to attend school and daycare?
(5) And, if disease transmission is really what the proponents of vaccine mandates are worried about, then shouldn’t those children recently vaccinated with live-virus vaccines also be excluded from schools and public spaces until the viral shedding has ceased?
“If mandate proponents aren’t demanding all of these individuals be excluded from schools, daycares and other public spaces, then one has to wonder whether the transmission of disease really is their primary concern…
“When you examine the justification given for eroding parental rights, medical rights and legal rights, it isn’t what they claim it is. It isn’t about medical risk. It isn’t about compassion for the medically fragile. This is the sham of the medical industry. This is the deception of the vaccine lobbyists. They purport to be about health and compassion, but it isn’t health they are concerned about. It isn’t about medical risk. It isn’t compassion for the immune-compromised. It’s all about power, control, and the removal of the right of parents to say no to unwanted and unsafe medical products.
“This is a corporation that has been captured by greed, arrogance and willful ignorance. This is a corporation that purports to have compassion for the vulnerable but has no compassion for the vaccine injured or those made medically fragile as a result of vaccination. This is all about selling vaccine products, with or without your consent. Period.”
