Be honest: do you know the difference between Pasturized and Homogenized?
I grew up on a small dairy farm. I buy my milk from a very small local farm, and I know the difference. I buy milk that is Pasturized but not homogenized. But I’m learning many folks don’t know the difference. Do You?

Cheeeese, glorious cheeeeeese
CNN spills some truth over how tariffs actually work for dairy between Canada and USA.
TLDR: The effective tariff rate for 99% of the stuff, is zero.
Gotta love Daniel Dale, a Canadian, working for CNN all these years. This is truly the moment for his fact checking to shine!

Confirmation of the case along the Hungarian-Slovak border comes less than two months after an outbreak of the highly contagious disease in Germany.

And very bad news for big dairy buyers like Nestlé, MARS and Danone which all have Zero Deforestation policies.

I wonder with #American threats plus their mega #poultry #farms impacted by #BirdFlu causing their #prices to surge... I wonder if that has resulted in #Canadians #eating more #eggs so far in #2025? #SupplyManagement should help us with stable prices of eggs and #dairy - at least it should, and I am hoping for that.
~~ India and Veganism ~~
I find this article by Priyanka Singh (@altlife) intriguing, both for its topic and its delving into detail, something I miss a lot these days:
“While vegetarianism has deep roots in Indian religious and philosophical thought, the widespread consumption of dairy products underscores the need for a more nuanced understanding of dietary choices in India.”
#H5N1 strikes more poultry in 4 states; #CDC updates details on recent human cases
Lisa Schnirring, February 24, 2025
"In new H5N1 avian flu confirmations today, the US Department of Agriculture (#USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (#APHIS) reported that the virus hit more flocks in four states, including another massive layer farm in Ohio, the nation’s second biggest poultry producer.
"Over the past several weeks, Ohio has been one of main outbreak epicenters, with one of the latest events involving a commercial farm in #DarkeCounty that has more than 3 million birds, according to APHIS. The virus also struck another layer farm in Ohio’s #MercerCounty, a facility that has nearly 85,000 birds.
"Elsewhere, the virus struck two more commercial farms in #Indiana, another hard-hit state. The latest outbreaks occurred at a turkey farm in Washington County and a commercial duck-breeding facility in Elkhart County. The virus was also confirmed in #backyard birds in two states, a location in #Florida’s #BrowardCounty and a location in #NewYork’s Delaware County.
"Over the last 30 days alone, ongoing H5N1 outbreaks have led to the loss of nearly 19 million birds.
"In #dairy herd developments, over the last few days, APHIS confirmed one more detection, which involves another herd from #Nevada. The state now has eight affected herds. Since the virus first emerged in dairy cattle about a year ago, detections have been reported in 973 herds across 17 states."
