This is not a "factoid" but a fact you can look up yourself from many non-animal rights sources (even if there are many reliable ones).

Look up "somatic cell count" on Wikipedia. Food safety regulations around the world define a number of somatic cells (which is what pus is made of). Same for blood cells.

If you bothered to look up what a Sematic cell was, You wouldnt be sitting here posting PETA ignorance.

You are literally made up of somatic cells. They make your organs, your skin, your bones, your blood, everything. They are not the big bag boogyman you've been propagandized into thinking.

I'm not saying the somatic cells in commercial milk are harmful, that's precisely why somatic cell counts need to exist.

Your response comment seemed to suggest that the claim that the FDA has a somatic and blood cell count is "PETA propaganda", which it is not. I didn't post "PETA ignorance", just facts you can look up from objective sources.

amazing how quickly the tune changes once someone sees through the bullshit.

first you present them as basically pus cells, and now "oh i'm not saying its bad"

Just ignorant fear mongering over nothing.

[–] nooch@lemmy.vg 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The original claim was "there is an amount of pus and blood allowed in milk and it's not zero". To which you said it wasn't true ("factoid"). So it was necessary to say that pus is made of somatic cells to explain that the claim is in fact true.

I'm not fear mongering, on the contrary my point is that people should look stuff up before dismissing something as PETA bullshit or whatever.

So it was necessary to say that pus is made of somatic cells to explain that the claim is in fact true.

And so is liver, and intestine, and heart, and skin, and lungs, and bones, and blood, and most everything else in a living creatures body.

You are trying to hide behind a technically because you know the whole "MILK IS FULL OF PUS AND BLOOD" is bullshit. So you keep dancing around the edges, saying somatic cells are pus cells, saying pus is made of somatic cells, trying to trigger a revulsion in the ignorant who don't know what they even are.

You are trying to do the whole " All people who consume Dihydrogen Monoxide eventually die, highlighting its toxicity" type spiel. Taking a hint of truth, and twisting it out of proportion into something completely ridiculous and unrealistic.
