Add in the thought of "Holy shit it's worse than I imagined" followed by "I really really hope I can get out."

It's like going to a theme park of a dystopian future, and then being paranoid that you'll find the gate locked when you try to leave.

start treating the earth like we all could die if it goes to hell!

The fact this is not obvious to some people really grinds my gears.

Two questions for you:

Would you say that the labeling of things is getting out of hand (e.g. Eggs in the shell as "Gluten Free", when obviously that is going to be the case), and what should be done about that?

Why does organic milk have a significantly longer shelf-life (sell-by/use-by date) than your run-of-the-mill milk?

The problem with that labeling is people aren't sure what is and isn't actually gluten free. You may know, but that doesn't mean the average consumer does. So the companies label it. Whether it is to give them a competitive edge in sales or to make the consumer aware.

If someone honestly thinks for a moment that a raw chicken egg contains gluten, they need to ask every school they've ever been to for a refund, IMHO. The misinformation spread in everything from GMOs to the Gluten Free fad is I think dangerous, and I appreciate you being that a bit of push against that snakeoil.

As far as the milk question, it's just an observation in the sell-by/use-by dates. And I do believe they're all UHT pasteurized. A follow up question, if someone wants to get the most out of milk for example, should they look for a specific pasteurization process? Say fuck it and go raw?
