Ben and Jerry's ice cream has pesticides in 10 out of 11 samples

[Madmick]

Make your own ice cream at home, its incredibly easy and cheap.

...and from the wrong breed of cow.

When I can buy Jersey milk at the store I'll consider this as a permanent solution, and not a fun July 4th tradition for the kids.

Halo Top is where its at.

but when they started with black lives matter and saying they did not care if cops bought their product, I was done with them.

You don't deserve ice cream.

Why do we care what Todd Gallingnobody thinks?

Haha, I knew that was coming. I don't, and nobody should. I don't know anything about Ben and Jerry and I duckduckgoed them to find out what the deal was with BLM as per the OP and that came up. Just a dig at bear.

How much icecream do you eat exactly...?

Among the flavors tested, Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie showed the highest levels of glyphosate, with 1.74 parts per billion, and glyphosate’s byproduct aminomethylphosphonic acid registering 0.91 parts per billion.
Such amounts might seem negligible. John an, the chief executive of the Health Research Institute Laboratories, which did the testing for the Organic Consumers Association, calculated that a 75-pound child would have to consume 145,000 eight-ounce servings a day of Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream to hit the limit set by the Environmental Protection Agency, the government body charged with setting a ceiling on the amount of glyphosate allowed in food.
An adult would have to eat 290,000 servings to hit the agency’s cutoff, Dr. an said.
Even European regulatory limits for glyphosate consumption, which are almost six times lower than limits in the United States, find that a child would have to eat 25,000 servings a day and an adult 50,000 for the herbicide to pose a threat.

What's this now?

You can't? I'm surprised.

 

[Madmick]

Not in the major stores, here, no. That's something you would find in a whole foods or some other specialty store.

I can't recall having ever seen Jersey Milk stocked at Trader Joe's, for example.

What's this now?

Holstein milk is water. That's why it's so cheap in the USA. It's great for the beverage/cooking markets.

Sucks for ice cream.

Don't let partisan bullshit and personal opinion blind you from the real story here....

That glyphosate has literally invaded our entire food source, even stringent organic certified products. It's in our water, in our rain, and in just about everything else. Most of the organic wines from sonoma all tested positive, not because they were spraying pesticides, but because its almost impossible to avoid. Run NMR test on a jamba juice, or any food item for that matter, and watch your head explode.

Yeah, the runoff is horrible. Tons of farmers getting pissed on by major corporate landowner neighbors who are on a slight incline across the fence.

Hmm, we have quite a lot of dairies in my area, so maybe our milk choices are atypical, but Jersey milk is available at major supermakets (Foodland).
It's a thing for coffee snobs that like milk drinks, and there's a large cafe culture here.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Ben and Jerrys sucks.

Anyone in the know eats Hagen Daz

Is that in Hawaii? Yeah, if you're there, you're living in Spamworld. I imagine none of your mainstream food distribution options are mainstream on the mainland.
