He's often mischaracterized as a nihilist because of his "god is dead" quote but that's usually taken out of context; if you read the full parable, the madman isn't preaching the death of God to Christians, he's warning atheists of the gravity of science and the cultural implications the obsolescence of religion will have. Nietzsche's concepts such as the ubermensch and using pain to grow (Nietzsche is the origin of the quote "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger") are also evident of a philosophy that extended far beyond just being a nihilist.

I love milk and have recently experimented with cutting out dairy. I am happy to report that I felt no different not consuming it than when I did so I am not going to stop drinking it forever. I think a lot of the stuff about us not being designed to consume it after childhood is misunderstood (I'm no nutritionist, though) because obviously, as infants, it's all we can consume really and as we grow, we are able to cope with more. I don't think that has to mean that we should have to lose all dairy products. I am Northern European so I likely have the mutation and I believe much of the anti-dairy hype is largely a result of mass immigration of non whites into white dominated cultures, which means there are now far more lactose intolerant people within traditionally white countries. Just my two cents on the matter.

[@cincin4515]

It's also the fear mongering of "clean" eaters that seem to think pasteurization is a horrendous process when it's actually what made milk an available safe food for everyone without the side effects of smallpox/cowpox.

Unfortunately pasteurising milk destroys components that aid us in digesting and absorbing the milk and studies have shown that lactose intolerance is not an issue with unpasteurised milk. The process of homogenisation also causes issues. Both pasteurisation and homogenisation are unnecessary and provide us with no protection and make it harder for us to access the nutrients. When I was a kid I spent a lot of time on dairy farms in New Zealand and drank only raw milk. I remember the fresh, warm cream on my cereal in the morning after the first milking session. So yum. We also made our own butter.

I don't do milk unless it's raw, which is illegal in FL (sucks, stupid law, thanks lobbyist for the dairy farms). Fermented dairy, specifically homemade Greek yogurt using half & half is a favorite. Problem I have, it does not trigger my lepton signalling fullness. I can eat a half gallon of Greek yogurt in a single sitting and not get a full signal. To lose a few pounds, me personally, I have to cut all dairy except butter and ghee. I'm of this opinion, dairy is for making things grow fast, which is the best survival mechanism for a new born calf. I believe, at least with me, it's a growth accelerator. When I make a half-gallon of Greek yogurt, it lasts a couple weekends & I always gain 2 to 4 lbs when the yogurt is gone. Just figured I'd share 😎

Raw dairy is the deal. Don't refrigerate it, let it culture. In the refrigerator raw milk turns bitter after a couple weeks (if done before culturing, - which is just wild culturing), rather than nicely culturing like to kefir/yogurt. You can drink from the milk rom fresh to cultured, which has some mild pleasant tasty souring as it cultures, at ambient room temps. Pasteurized dairy is problematically congestive, leads to lessened vitality, lessened veign flow (erectile for example),… homogenized milk is most congestive.
