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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_cell_count

Also milk = rape is totally factual (though a terrible way to try to reach the public)

• Bulls are immobilized and forcibly masturbated in order to get sperm.
• Cows are then forcibly inseminated to be pregnant back to back during their lives so they produce milk. This also typically involves restraining the cow in some chute and shoving an arm up the her ass to hold the cervix in place during the process.

So if you believe that non-human animals can be SA’d the dairy industry most likely covers that definition.

You can look this stuff up yourself in industry sources, it’s just industry practice including free-range cows.

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.

That's what Molly is for, right?

I appreciate the effort and I will check it out. However imo the original works (ie Marx, Engels, Lenin) are too dense for a begginer, I feel there has to be a softer learning curve, with more digested content. For example I’m reading the Vietnamese textbook and I think it does a very good job at explaining excerpts of the originals in accessible language. Denser doesn’t mean more accurate or better in all cases, just generally harder to read.
