  1. Idiocy of bureaucrats on power trip is boundless.
    You can imagine that otherwise they would be living on the streets.

  2. Who was it that predicted that your country is doomed when “those who actually do things have to ask permission from those who don’t”?

    1. I believe this is what you may be referring to:

      “When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors – When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you – When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – You may know that your society is doomed.”

  3. lm aghast.
    a ‘thing’ known for what, a couple thousand years since we domesticated dairy cattle?
    now confounds and alarms the gubbamint regulators?
    talk about overreach.
    80,000 X . . . . . . nah, somebody else do the math.
    p.s. l see the overreach engaged by the NY environMENTAL ‘con’servation serial killers has resulted in a proposed law in memory of a loving and very beloved DOMESTICATED squirrel named P’nut.
    beware the overreach. we had the golden age, the industrial age, the computer age and now . . . . . . the overreach age.

  4. I ran across a comment in, I think, National post. The commenter said that a recent survey had 28% of respondents agreeing that we should not eat animals, but get our meat from the supermarket.

    Completely believable.

    The ignorance of large segments of the general public is breathtaking, and we have our educators to blame for that. Teachers that know nothing but DEI and all the other woke nonsense.

  5. The newly printed labels should read, in part: “If you are so GD stupid that you don’t know the main ingredients in our butter, we don’t want you to buy it in the first place. Get help.”

  6. I’ll bet that a survey of the CDC staff behind this lack of common sense would also find a high level TDS. The axiom “birds of a feather flock together” does have a rather wide application.

  7. I have a jar of peanut butter with a warning notice: “Contains Peanuts”

    I blame the lawyers for this silliness.

  8. Thank goodness! The Lawyers are saving us from a broken education system. Thank you Lawyers.

    Yes .. that is extreme, bitter, sarc.

    1. And as a postscript … now I know how it is possible for 60-something million Americans to vote for a vapid, celebrity-shilled, empty pantsuit for POTUS. Because the electorate is JUST THAT STUPID and uneducated.

  9. I love the assumption that not only do some people not know butter contains milk, but that people with a milk intolerance (or those cooking for them) do not know.

  10. this whole thing reminds me of a YT post in the ‘best of intentions what could possibly go wrong’, in californicate a law was passed after some incident naturally, a peanut allergy reaction or something, it was determined a residue got into the product.
    the law stated mfgers must indicate possible presence of unwanted product or face huge lawsuits.

    the response was to plaster all containers with the wording to cover their ass.

    rendering the original regulation moot.
