Industrialized dairy farms are highly automated and feature a ton of networked computer equipment to facilitate that.
This isn’t some situation where a farmer rolls up to a cow with a bucket and a stool like the 1800s.
Huge reason to go vegan btw
Is this how I learn Coca-Cola owns Fairlife? I never knew. Now I have to find a new brand of filtered milk.
Branded milk is a wild concept
It’s the norm in Europe, and it makes absolute sense. Milk quality can vary wildly, so brands provide a way to identify a certain set of qualities.

Definitely the norm in Germany
Pretty normal in Lithuania
Where in the bumfuck do you live? All the milk in normal parts of the U.S. are branded.
My milk has the name for the store I buy it at. I think that’s probably what they’re referring to, just store brand milk versus, apparently, MilkaCola. CocaMilka.
Interesting. In New England at least, most of the milk/dairy products are either Hood or Garelick, which are not stores, and the only store brand I can think of is Cumberland Farms - and they started as a dairy farm that went on to open a chain of convenience stores.
Yeah, I’m from Jersey. And Cumberland Farms, I remember having one by us when I was a kid, but they all went away.
Do you just have blank containers with “MILK” printed on them and nothing else? Cuz literally every package of milk I’ve ever had was branded in some way, even if it’s just the local dairy’s brand.
Just the supermarket name, fat percentage, and a picture of a cow is pretty typical here
coke milk.
Fairlife also has a history of animal abuse controversies. Their name is a complete lie and I always recommend people to other brands if they care about animal cruelty in the slightest.
Why does Coca Cola own a milk company? To combat Pilk with Cilk?
Because corporations need to own everything. Global food trade is split up almost entirely by ten corporations: https://ourfuture.org/20170105/oxfam-ten-multinational-corporations-control-most-food-brands
Have fun trying to find food items in a supermarket that ar not in any way related to any of these.
Have successfully eliminated Nestle and cocoa related products from my life. I know its not even close to nano impact but its the least I can do 😅
Every dollar not going to nestle helps.
If only that graphic could be opened, zoomed in, to actually see the various brands…
Mars (as in the candy company) is the largest veterinary company in the world.
Because subsidiaries.
These big corporations can leverage those subsidies very easily too. It’s be perfect, if they didn’t have to increase profits on fixed margins
In 2013, I messaged Coca-Cola on Facebook and asked them if Dasani was run off water from their soda factories. They blocked me.
So, if there is a power outage, do their cows just explode?
I don’t think you really want to know this.

First question: why are you using a racist and “great replacement” conspiracy theorist in your meme
Me? I just repost from reddit. But seriously what racist theories?
“Theorist”. Jon Tron is a person with shitty opinions.
Although policing oneself to make sure that everyone in the memes one shares is squeaky clean and shares the group’s opinion on all subjects is very strange behavior when the content doesn’t also feature that opinion.
Right? TIL that everyone who’s ever shared this image supports fascism:
It’s really funny that vance started ozempic because Trump kept calling him fat because of this image
Fact Check: TRUE ✅
Jontron’s gone on the record supporting the legitimacy of white genocide, has stated that incarceration of blacks being higher in the US due to blacks being more criminal as a group, and several other batshit crazy things.
The guy was a genuinely funny content creator, he essentially destroyed his career with his politics.
Reading the comments on this really makes me appreciate Lemmy commenters.
I thought this was lost! I’m so happy this video still exists.
Back then: “wow there just must’ve been a falling-out, man, they were such good friends, I hope it’s nothing to do with Suzie, man, oh darn.”
Now: “Maaaaaaaan, Aaron, thank fuck you got that idiot out of your house.”
Were the cows identities stolen?
You wouldn’t download a milk, would you?
Did you know milk can be spoiled in certain conditions? ;)
I have one, three letter question.
Ded?
Why
Capitalism. Line must always go up, and the only way to do that for most large companies is to gobble up all kinds of other companies to steal their assets and burn their liabilities. That’s why most of the grocery store choices funnel back to like a dozen multinational food companies. Like, look at this shit:
