derrickdj1 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 A survey of Americans found that 7% or 16.4 Million Americans believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows. Just as many said they don't know how chocolate milk is made. All of us over a certain age remember putting in the Nestle mix and making our own chocolate milk. Next will be a survey on brown eggs. https://tribune.com.pk/story/1437232/16-4-million-americans-believe-chocolate-milk-comes-brown-cows-survey/ I think I have some some of these people that appear bright, until their mouth starts running, lol.

muel Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'm actually encouraged. What that tells me is that millions of Americans think it's funny to tell some annoying survey taker that chocolate milk comes from brown cows. They probably called at dinner time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 OK Derrick, and that article comes from a newspaper in Pakistan. So, I'm sure everything they say is absolutely true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscarsear Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Considering how many humans are easily duped into adopting well documented addictive habits such as tobacco usage, hard drugs, etc..... I'd agree that too many of us are still thinking using woefully shallow critical skills. HIV/AIDS is again on a steep increase despite all we now understand about the ailment. Can't fix stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows, but how do cows get that brown color? I just assume, like everybody else, it's from white cows eating dirt.

djk Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 17% of high school students think Joan-of-Arc was Noah's wife. I think they were just being smart-asses (just like the milk story). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I'm sure everything they say is absolutely true. From the washington post.. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/06/15/seven-percent-of-americans-think-chocolate-milk-comes-from-brown-cows-and-thats-not-even-the-scary-part/?utm_term=.d0c1e3a57514 I can confirm much of what is stated in this article about people not understanding the source of their food. We find ourselves confronted with weirder and weirder looks as we grow our farm and share the progress with people. It has been somewhat discouraging -- many of the people are long time friends and just don't get it. We find ourselves with less time to hang out with groups of people, and feel less compelled to do so after their reactions to how we're raising our family and tightening control on our food sources (and the effort that goes along with it). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 " according to a nationally representative online survey commissioned by the Innovation Center of U.S. Dairy. " B.S. In 1958 Ansel Keys fraudulently constructed the 7 Countries Study, creating the saturated-fat hysteria that resulted in millions of people getting coronary artery disease. People make up stuff all the time, people make honest misteaks (sic) all the time (which does not describe Keys), and people give B.S. response to polls all the time.

T2K Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Heck, you think that's strange, I heard that there are people that not only have refrigerator size stereo speakers in small rooms in their house, but they have them in multiple rooms in their home. And then they stay online all day long talking about speakers and oogling the pictures of other peoples speakers. And hoard/collect even more speakers that they ever use. Strange. Bigly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
