The FDA, and the USDA have a standard for the amount of blood allowed in milk. Is there blood in your milk? Yes. All non-organic milk available from all major dairies in the US contain blood. How does the blood get in the milk? The dairies shoot the cows full of RBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone), which makes the cows produce milk, even though they are not pregnant or nursing. The cows produce so much milk, because of the hormones that they must be milked five to ten times daily, as opposed to the healthy amount of twice daily. The over milking makes the teats sore, raw and bloody. The blood is extracted with the milk, so it is impossible to separate out. I used to work for a commercial dairy, and have visited hundreds nation wide. This happens in every dairy in America that is non-organic. How do they make it white? They bleach the milk to alleviate the pink colore the blood gives it. So what percentage of blood is allowed in milk? 20% with most dairies being at or above that.

A question that has always intruiged me, maybe it was just some guy witnessed that the eggs... um... "came out" and what came out was the thing that grew up to be the thing they ate. So before the eggs hatched, they cracked them open and were dissapointed, only to find it made a tasty snack, that then evolved into a breakfast food. Your theories on this?

I have always had a gas stove where I can tell how big a flame I'm cooking with. But this is the first time I've had an electric stove--how long should I leave the ground beef in the spaghetti sauce before it's cooked? How can I tell if it's cooked? I don't want to get myself sick!

I'm planning our first family reunion and need ideas. Any info would be great on things to do, not to do, ect. We have never had a "family reunion" with everyone, and I have never planned one myself. Any ideas would be great if you have experiences to share too.
