If they answer ‘from the carton’ or ‘I don’t know, Sainsbury’s?’, give them a pat on the back. But if they say ‘from brown cows’, please do the world a favour and educate the poor dears. Because apparently, we, as a society, haven’t been doing a great job of telling people that no, brown cows do not magically produce chocolate flavoured milk. A recent survey of 1,000 people by the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy found that 7% of adults – yes, adults – believe that chocolate milk comes directly from brown cows. That means that 7% of the adults surveyed believe that there are such things as chocolate cows. The researchers found 70 people who believe this. They genuinely think that if you squeeze a brown cow’s udder, chocolate milk will come out. This is mindblowing. If you’re thinking ‘hey, 7% isn’t that much’, don’t let the rest of the adults off that easy. 48% of people surveyed simply said they had no idea where chocolate milk came from. They had no clue. So it’s possible that they may have thought it came from brown cows, but were too embarrassed to say so. Let’s just get this clear now, for anyone reading this who’s still confused: brown cows do not produce chocolate milk. Milk comes from cows of any colour. That milk can then be turned into chocolate milk through the addition of flavouring – cocoa and sugar. A brown cow is not a chocolate milkshake dispenser. If you milk it, you’ll just get plain, regular milk. No chocolate in sight. We know that ruins both the magic of brown cows (they’re still pretty, so there’s that) and of chocolate milk, but try to stay strong. Have some milk and remain calm.

Boots&Flipflops	Posted - Jun 07 2017 : 01:29:29 AM That is just unbelievable. Just like a gal that was outside an Oklahoma Cattlemen's meeting yelling at my friend's dad. She told him he did not need to be killing innocent animals. When he asked her, where do you think your meat comes from, her reply was "Go to the store and buy it" I know he gave her some choice words to chew on instead of a nice steak!! Are some people really this ignorant by the true definition or ? My neighbor was given two Angus steers. Grass fed and the whole nine yards. He had to sell them, as his wife would not eat the meat from them because she only wants meat from the store. Where in the shout does she think the store gets it, a Magic Room? I would of taken the steers in a heart beat had I known before he got rid of them. Thank God I am, and always will be a Farm Girl!!:)
