Why are people pouring milk down the drain over a cow feed additive?

1. Because they believe what they see on TikTok with zero legitimate scientific backing.

2. Because the crushed velvet, new build, financed 3 series morons are crowd following idiots who don’t know what they’re on about

3. >Its post on X announcing its partnership with Tesco, Aldi and Morrisons has nearly 6 million views and attracted thousands of comments as of 3 December.

   Elmo’s propaganda and misinformation farm at work.

4. Because people believe that know everything about something they have zero clue about and which would have gone through a massive level of risk due diligence and technical approval before it even got to a trial phase 

5. How are people still blaming Bill Gates for everything when Musk is literally operating in the open?

6. > Some UK social media users have been pouring milk down their sinks and toilets in protest

   That’ll show them! Spending the same money on the same products but just pouring it away instead of drinking it. 

7. The new feed additive has links to being carcinogenic in humans and needs to handled whilst wearing gloves and a mask…

   There’s no evidence suggesting it remains carcinogenic once in the food chain as it’s broken down by the Cow but Social Media seems to have caught on to the idea it is regardless.

8. If you take a calf from its mother so you can take its milk from its mother in a factory farm setting, and then you pour the milk down the drain because you’re opposed to an additive that makes the whole process slightly less climate-destroying, then your moral platform is so wholly different to mine, I don’t think I could recognise it at all.

9. > Some of those posting online have alleged that Microsoft founder Bill Gates is involved in the development of Bovaer, a claim which the additive’s developer flatly denies.

   Fuckin’ Bill, destroying Netscape Navigator not enough for you eh? Now you’re coming after the milk.

10. Because sadly social media has elevated nonsense conspiracy theories to the mainstream.

11. There’s a Facebook conspiracy theory page that has blown up over this (I’m on it for the shits and giggles*, some of the stuff is hilarious). There was a video of some “famour” denier asking farmers not to sell their milk to Arla. Except it’s the farmers that are feeding the cows. Duh!

    Then Gates, Blackrock (who own them – apparently…**) got thrown into the mix and all hell breaks loose.

    * Think Dom Joly got a lot of his material for his current tour from the same group
    * They don’t

12. It’s ticked a number of boxes to perfectly feed into their conspiracy world view.

    It’s being done to try and reduce climate change – hence “woke nonsense”
    It involves sciiiieeeeeeeeentists (scary voice) trying to kill or sterilise us all – so a continuation of the “plandemic”
    It (doesn’t actually) involves Bill Gates who is the current cause of all the worlds ills (Soros must be having a holiday)
    It adds to the raw milk nonsense about the “complicated and scary” process of heating milk being bad for us.

    It doesn’t stand up logically, and it never has to – if the right accounts amplify it on their team then they take it as gospel.

13. The microplastics in their blood and brains should probably have a little more focus…

14. They got bored of COVID so have mooved onto something else. It’s just a constant state of being angry about everything they can be tricked into.

15. Give me your moo juice, my good people. Don’t let it go to waste

16. Facebook is constantly ramming boaver panic down my neck when I go on it. It’s putting me off using it.

17. People obviously have money to burn. After seeing how much a pint of milk costs, the last place I’d pour it is down the drain or toilet.

18. Not clicking but I’m assuming it’s because they’re fucking idiots

19. because a staggeringly large number of people fell down the conspiracy hole during lockdown and are still stuck down there.

20. I love reading the comments on here, most people decide if something is good or bad not on basic research but whether they think it’s left or right wing.
    I really do wish people would learn to think for themselves and not defend things based on if they think it’s left or right wing.

21. So wild to me that so many grown adults just casually consume the milk of another specie

22. It’s so weird to me that being cautious about what you put into your body is now a right wing thing. 15 years ago it would have been the left up in arms about this.

    It’s absolutely reasonable for people to be concerned about something new and unnecessary, and make buying choices accordingly.

23. So basically, Reform twat MP’s are as usual behind any opposition to any approach to change any aspect of our society for the better. And the leagues of lip-dribbling morons trot along behind them spewing out conspiracy theories and baseless claims and unverifiable “facts” and contrarian positions founded by other lip-dribbling morons.

    This is our new reality.

24. I’m willing to bet these are the same people protesting the fact that their milk is pasteurised

25. How dare they do something to actively address one of the largest contributors to climate change! I mean, we could just go vegan instead? No? Okay, then maybe be more open to other options

26. Easily manipulated, thick as shit, live laugh love types with a social media addiction. They won’t believe a scientist but are “influenced” by someone equally stupid who failed GCSE science on tik tok….

27. I love how depopulation is masterminded by Bill Gates. Bill Gates. The man who has spent billions trying to eradicate malaria which is the biggest killer on earth. That guy.
