What, she thinks it’s the _flavoring_ that has the nutritional value? Oh, my mistake; she thinks that banning flavored milk means that all milk is being replaced with “vegan juice”. This is rich, pretending to care about [the National School Lunch Program](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_School_Lunch_Act). Jesus Christ, the Qliban are stupid as Hell! ---

> “The federal government has demonized milk, resulting in a lost generation of milk drinkers, despite the clear nutritional benefits,” **said Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture GT Thompson.** That’s actually an excellent point, assuming that by “demonized milk” he must mean “failed to regulate aggressive corporate advertising of soda and energy drinks to minors”. ---

I just googled the nutritional value of [Silk® Original Soymilk](https://silk.com/plant-based-products/soymilk/original-soymilk/): > NUTRITIONAL FACTS > Serving Size: 1 Cup (240mL) > Servings Per Container About 8 > Calories: 110 > % Daily Value\* > Total Fat: 4.5g 6% > Saturated Fat: 0.5g 3% > Trans Fat: 0g > Polyunsaturated Fat: 2.5g > Monounsaturated Fat: 1g > Cholesterol: 0mg 0% > Sodium: 90mg 4% > Total Carbohydrate: 9g 3% > Dietary Fiber: 2g 7% > Sugars: 6g Includes 5g Added Sugars 10% > Protein: 8g 16% > Vitamin D: 3mcg 15% > Calcium: 450mg 30% > Iron: 1.3mg 6% > Potassium: 380mg 8% > Vitamin A: 150mcg 15% > Riboflavin: 0.4mg 30% > Folate: 40mcg DFE 10% > Vitamin B12: 3mcg 120% > Phosphorous: 220 15% > Magnesium: 50mg 10% Let’s compare it to [one cup of whole milk](https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-milk#:~:text=Nutrients%20per%20Serving,Fat%3A%208%20grams): > Nutritional Info > from the [WebMD Ingredients Guide](https://www.webmd.com/diet/ingredients-guide) > > Serving Size 1 Cup > Calories 149 > % Daily Value\* > Total Fat 8 g > 12% > Saturated Fat 5 g > 25% > Trans Fat 0 g > Cholesterol 24 mg > 8% > Sodium 105 mg > 4% > Potassium 0 mg > 0% > Total Carbohydrate 12 g > 4% > Dietary Fiber 0 g > 0% > Sugar 12 g > Protein 8 g > 16% > \*Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.

I think that “Woke Artifical Intelligence ChatBot refuses to say n\*\*\*\*\* even if it’s the only way to save the world from nuclear event that kills millions.” definitely deserves a place on the list. > **[Conservatives Are Obsessed With Getting ChatGPT to Say the N-Word](https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxnv59/conservatives-are-obsessed-with-getting-chatgpt-to-say-the-n-word)** > > Elon Musk tweeted that it's "concerning" that a computer won't use a slur to stop a nuclear apocalypse in an imaginary scenario. Next, I expect Congress to enact legislation requiring ChatGPT to say n\*\*\*\*\* if the fate of humanity depends on it. It doesn’t get more performative than that. ---

> [@Toxgoddess](#): > > Don’t these people get tired of being outraged all the time? It must be exhausting. Not quite. IMO they find it exhilarating. The only problem for them (and even more for their enablers) is that like with any repeated stimulus, the human mind accommodates to it and over time it will take a bigger hit to achieve the same “high”.
