Okay, I thought so, but I wasn't sure if you were temporarily on American soil (because I was operating under that context for food distribution/availability).

Yeah, apparently in Europe, especially France, those higher-fat milk cows were the norm, but that's never been the case in the States. We have Jersey cows, certainly, but our dairy livestock market is so overwhelmingly dominated by Holstein cows that unless you're talking a whole foods or some specialty market in a big city, then you're probably not going to see Jersey milk on the shelves, and obviously for those "cheap" suddenly absconds from the conversation (at least as Americans perceive the cost of dairy products to be).
 
I blame Ben & Jerrys for my lack of sperms and physical appeal to ladies.

What in the fuck? Do other ice cream makers have pesticides too?

Ben and Jerry sold the company way back in 2000. Unilever ruins everything, it seems.

I used to love Breyers before Unilever ruined it. Now the only flavor that isn't a complete piece of shit is the "Natural Vanilla". They're stuffed with the same shitty gums like the Wal-Mart ice cream sandwiches. Long gone are the days of the kid trying to read the ingredients on the boxes of other, more artificial ice creams. I haven't had a lot of Ben & Jerry's lately. So far I hadn't tasted a decline in quality, but this doesn't bode well.

An old brand that mainstream America perhaps needs to more widely discover:

Everything from scratch, and they own their own cows.

Any company that sells more ice cream bars than ice cream cartons ain't better than Ben & Jerry's.

Upon closer inspection this is hippie bullshit, everyone. This "study" was conducted by a hardcore anti-GMO, pro-organic lobbyist group calling itself the "Organic Consumer Association". Among other positions, they contradict the accepted science that glyphosate isn't biologically cumulative. They also want you to believe it causes cancer like cigarettes.

Meanwhile, the most important detail of all to notice is highlighted in red:

Contact: Organic Consumers Association: Katherine Paul, [email protected], 207-653-3090

FINLAND, Minn. – The Organic Consumers Association (OCA) today reported that 10 of 11 samples of Ben & Jerry ice cream tested positive for glyphosate, the key ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, and/or AMPA, glyphosate’s main metabolite.

The results originated from independent lab testing of the following flavors: Peanut Butter Cup, Peanut Butter Cookie, Vanilla (2 samples), Cherry Garcia, Phish Food, The Tonight Dough, Half Baked, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Americone Dream and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Cherry Garcia was the only flavor that tested negative for glyphosate and/or AMPA.

OCA is calling for Vermont-based Ben & Jerry’s, a subsidiary of the international consumer goods conglomerate, Unilever (UN (NYSE) to begin an immediate transition to using only organic ingredients, including milk, in its products or face a national and international consumer boycott.

The groups also call on natural and organic food stores to drop the Ben & Jerry’s brand unless the company commits to transitioning to organic.

OCA International Director Ronnie Cummins said: “Ben & Jerry’s falsely advertises its products as ‘natural’ and its brand as ‘sustainable’ and ‘socially responsible.’ Nothing could be further from the truth.

“Ben & Jerry’s profits are built on the back of an industrial dairy system that poisons the environment and produces pesticide-contaminated food products. Ben & Jerry’s sales, driven in large part by its deceitful claims, damage the organic industry by cutting into the sales of authentic natural, grass-fed and organic producers.”

On July 7, California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) added glyphosate to its list of chemicals known to cause cancer, for purposes of complying with the state’s Proposition 65.

In March 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as a ‘probable carcinogen.’

A report published January 2017, in the journal Nature, linked low doses of glyphosate to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, suggesting that there is no “safe” level of glyphosate despite otherwise indicated by regulatory agencies.

Listen to their language throughout that article. These are fucking vegans. The WHO is laughably lacking in credibility when it comes to this issue (along with the EU, btw).

This OCA group is not even publicly disclosing the results upon publication of their headline! They're hiding them behind a request-wall. Could it be that their "contamination" is absurdly low and non-threatening?

No thanks, Chicken Littlehippie.

The NYT article I linked to earlier has all the results listed.
Definitely at homeopathic concentrations.
 
11 out of 11 were found to be delicious.

Also, they need to make a chocolate espresso mix called Stay Woke, as a white person I'd like to see that phrase fully appropriated and commercialized.
