Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 After reading this, I am really glad I am vegan. My son still loves to drink milk, but the more I tell hime the more he wants to stop. After this, I'm sure he will join me in drinking rice, soy and almond milk. Maria THE STATE OF PUS The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has published year 2000 data for the amount of pus cells found in milk, broken down by state. According to Duane Norman and R.H. Miller, two USDA investigators, the average liter (about one quart) of milk sold in America in 2000 contained 316 million pus cells. What state holds title to the greatest amount of pus? Look to the Sunshine State, Florida, home to the Magic Kingdom. The average liter of milk in Florida contained 504 million pus cells. In Europe and Canada, regulators are aware that the higher the pus cell count, the less healthy is the milk. Milk in Europe and Canada cannot legally be sold if the level of pus cells per liter exceeds 400 million. By applying European and Canadian safety standards, USDA officials would also have to dump milk in the following states: Alabama (441 million pus cells per liter), Arkansas (427 million pus cells per liter), Georgia (409 million pus cells per liter), Kansas (428 million pus cells per liter), Louisiana (476 million pus cells per liter), Mississippi (448 million pus cells per liter), South Dakota (409 million pus cells per liter), and Tennessee (420 million pus cells per liter). Puerto Rico's average liter of milk contained 475 million pus cells. (I like to be in America, ok by me in America, everything free in America, less pus in milk in America!) Which states enjoy the " healthiest milk? " First place is awarded to Rhode Island. Milk from Rhode Island's cows averages out to only 218 million pus cells per liter. Second place goes to New Mexico at 255 million pus cells per liter, and Montana is a close third at 257 million pus cells per liter. Honorable mention to those additional states with pus cell counts under 300 million per liter: California, Colorodo, Michigan, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
