The only good sour cream is the sour cream made from real-cream* and
free of any and all xanthum gums, thickneners, annatto, preservatives,
carrageenan, polysorbate, nonfat milk solids, added mono/di- glycerides,
cellulose gum and other crap often added by sick lazy @$$holes who have
no concern for anyone other than their own phukking selves.
*Real cream = "sweet" [i.e. unsalted and non-soured], annatto-free,
preservative-free, carrageen-free, carrageenan-free, polysorbate-free,
purely-natural, completely-organic cream made from the milk of healthy
Jersey cows [who graze solely on natural pasture], free of nonfat milk
solids, free of added mono/di- glyceridesm and free of any other crap
often added by sick lazy @$$holes who have no concern for anyone other
than their own phukking selves.
"Thick and low/nonfat"? Thats disgusting!!!!!!!!!!
If you really want to torture me, then make me drink some nonfat,
non-soured, boiled milk that has enough water removed to give it the
thick viscosity of human-spit-foam. Oh and be sure to to mix it up with
a power blender to give it a foamy consistency -- which I truly hate
beyond description!!!! This milk would really stink like the morning
breath of a human who never clean the back of his/her tongue!!!!
Combined with that, it would remind me of a perverse human foaming at
the mouth -- EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
> If you really want to torture me, ...
Oh yes. Definitely. And passionately. Your unending abusive drivel
has definitely aroused that sort of sentiment. And I am quite sure
that I am far from the only one who feels that way.
However, to torture you, I'd have to know where you are and then I'd
have to actually be near you.
Quite frankly, that is more distasteful than I could stand. We all
have our limits, and actually meeting you would be well beyond mine.
You are spared torture, but you continue to be the object of disdain
and contempt. Now then, do you think you could go and pollute some
other news group?
WTF do you not contact the milk manufacturer or the milk processors or
the milk marketing boards or somebody who would know this answer?

I did contact them. I've contacted many of them for a long time. No
results. They simply don't want to talk about it.
You think you are pestering us, but actually we know the answers and are
just stringing you along... It's a control thing. HTH ;-)

No, they simply don't want to talk to *you*, you little troll.
As someone who's never worked in manufacturing, sales, or anything
vaguely like dairy, I'll go ahead and tell you the obvious truth:
It increases what the average customer perceives as quality without
significantly increasing the cost of production vs. attempting to
achieve the same quality by some other method, such as more selective
purchasing.
That's why they do it. Guaranteed.
You're not the average customer. You are not their target market. Go
forth and buy other products. Vote with your wallet.

Wait till I educate the "average customer" about the stink of
nonfat/lowfat, non-soured milk boiled until it as thick as a
human-spit-foam. Wait till I educate them about the stink of annato,
xanthum gums, thickneners, annatto, preservatives, carrageenan,
polysorbate, nonfat milk solids, added mono/di- glycerides, cellulose
gum and other crap often added by sick lazy @$$holes who have no concern
for anyone other than their own phukking selves.
Then those lazy sickos will be forced to either change their ways or
live out on the streets -- disheveled and begging for cash.
> No, they simply don't want to talk to *you*
Not to worry. I've got some of their contact info. I'll spam the phukk
outta them so they know how I feel.
I wonder if a second email from you will make it to anyone inside of any
company?

They're not going to listen.
A bit of editing there, but the $ is always the bottom line.

You'd think he would be more concerned about the rbst in regular milk/
products than some thickening/preservative add ins.
Go organic ...never look back.

Personally i think the organic movement goes too far. Having heard
about the realities of raising organic beef cattle, I'd rather not eat
organic beef, thankyouverymuch. I just wish this country wasn't so
stupid that there's no demand for a logical middle path - I'd prefer
judicious use of antibiotics, for example, coupled with subtle changes
in the bovine diet - such as no rich starchy grains for a week before
slaughter.
I wonder how much synthetic growth hormone is really out there. Even
Monsanto says that 2/3rds of all dairy cattle aren't ever injected with
it, and it's only used during a short duration of the lactation cycle.
It's not like they're rinsing the milking equipment with it.
I agree. If he bought the real stuff he wouldn't have to worry about
all the junk put into the imitation, fat-free product.
