I'm so old I Remember when:

[sdm111]

Cheese is mold. And if you've ever gone hungry, you learned not to waste food. There is nothing wrong with cutting off bad parts of food so the rest can be salvaged, your mom is smart

Been there poor and parents drilling me to not waste food. At 49 I do it to this day. I've eaten alot of stuff people would say it too old or left out too long. I just figured it trained my stomach to be so tough all these years. I've been there

You don't have to be. But find something that will build up the good bacteria. A daily probiotic is a start, but those seldom get past the stomach and it's the intestines that need to be colonized.

If you ever take an antibiotic you'll need to start over, because the antibiotic works very much like a broad-spectrum herbicide and kills everything.

Without your microscopic buddies you can't even digest right. Your daily vitamins pass through basically undigested, as does much of your food. With a healthy gut biome, everything works better.

Differing breeds of cattle, and where they originated.

Interesting. Milk here is 99% Holstein, with some Jersey added to increase milk fat content.

Otherwise there is no way of knowing what breed the milk came from.

Shorthorn and Ayershire cattle are not common here for dairy operations. Though my neighbour did have a few Short horns hanging around when he was milking, more for showing than anything else.

Money talks in dairy and milk quota are very expensive, Holstein cattle are the top milk producers.

Edit:
Well now I stand corrected, seems there Ionia a dairy here that caters to A2 specialty and they do a good job of explaining the genetic component.

Wow you learnt a new thing every day! Thanks!

I get raw milk and the dairy is strictly ayrshire. It's such good milk! My family farm milks mostly holstein but they are out of state so I can't get that milk

I'm old enough to remember my parents telling me not to waste food because there were starving children in India. I offered to send them my dinner. I can still see the look on my Mom's face as she tried to respond on the fly to my innocent and genuine offer. The explanation went along the lines of "by the time it gets there it would be bad." That just confused me further, because if I couldn't send it to the starving children, why did it matter if I finished it or not - either way, it was trash. So much for my father's insistence that we be taught logic!

Mine was the Ethiopians. My dad telling me when he was in the Korean war that somehow they were helped or something by the Ethiopian s, saying they were good to him. I don't know if that's true he didn't say much about that war except it was extremely cold at times

The focus on A2 herds in the US is a relatively new thing.
If memory serves me correctly, there was a mutation in dairy cattle that affected herds in northern Europe and the British Isles causing them to produce A1 milk and for a long time the only way to avoid it was to source dairy products from southern Europe like Italy and Spain where those cattle were still producing milk with the A2 protein.

I am so old I remember when we only had one TV channel. And a black and white TV

FYI I still have my old colour TV for my bedroom as a teen. It’s a boat anchor but it still works! Not that there are any channels to watch now, signals are all digital these days!

You can get a digital to analog converter for over the air local channels for reminiscing. I have one they work pretty good

Does it have any input for RCA jacks or composite or something along the lines of that?

Yep I had it used as a monitor to my old barn cameras. But now everything is network based.

There are adapters so you can hook up modern TV to those old TVs.
