State of California declares deadly Covid vaccine safer than Kerrygold Butter packaging
Forces statewide Kerrygold butter recall
Some California consumers may have realized that they can’t buy America’s most popular grass fed butter anymore.
Until at least March, Kerrygold is expected to be out of stock in the Golden State. Unless public uproar causes something about that to change, there’s been a grass fed butter recall that is with us for the foreseeable future. The following is from one food retailer’s website:
“REASON FOR RECALL: Technical non-compliance with state law: Packaging for the affected products is subject to the impending PFAS ban in California (effective 01-01-2023).”
PFAS are so-called “forever chemicals.”
In October 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 1200 into law prohibiting these chemicals in some food packaging. They are not prohibited in all food packaging — only in food packaging made of paper, paperboard, and other plant-based food packaging. The complete text of AB 1200 can be found here.
“Well isn’t it good not to eat PFAS?” some may ask.
That’s a fine way of thinking. But a better way of thinking is this — Just kiss off and let me eat my butter. Additionally, how about you spend some time studying the claims made about PFAS before you just ignorantly repeat them?
Also, please don’t give me the tired jeremiad that Kerrygold isn’t grass fed because it isn’t 100% grass fed. Also please don’t claim that it isn’t any good for me because it is not 100% GMO-free. Take your perfectionism elsewhere.
The battle over what butter I am allowed to eat is a continuation of the nonsensical “we are all in this together” struggle that is set on chipping away at individual autonomy, and which many seem to really enjoy falling for. I am not in anything together with most of you. That’s the reality of the situation. I’m in it together with the small group of people who I mutually choose to be in it together with. The same is true for you. No one gets to walk up to you and to claim to be in it together with you. That would violate your fundamental right to choose with whom you will associate. Nor does said person get to thereby claim authority over you.
There must be a reason those chemicals are banned, though.
“Why ban these chemicals?” you may ask. Well, I’ve got an answer for you and from an industry expert.
“Exposure to some types of PFAS is linked to cancer, developmental problems, hormone disruption, and interference with vaccine effectiveness,” reports Chemical & Engineering News.
Yes. That’s right, your vaccine won’t work if I have PFAS in the packaging of my butter.
The only thing missing is the claim that PFAS causes myocarditis in the otherwise healthy.
And truthfully, I hate the amount of toxic chemicals everywhere I turn — from drinking water, to air, to food — but the idea that this piecemeal approach is a solution is preposterous. It’s even more preposterous that some obese and hormonally dysregulated pubic health know-it-all is the one lecturing me on PFAS and preventing me from eating the high energy, nourishing, enriching, healthy diet I eat (butter and all) because one-of-ten-thousand minor toxins may be in it and may impact the consumer or the environment.
Butter is no condiment for me, either. I’m not shy about cooking with it. It is a nutritional and caloric staple, one that I sometimes consume to the tune of pounds a week, alongside dozens of eggs, gallons of milk, and pounds of beef.
Though seemingly mindlessly, doctors are taught to parrot the dangers of butter after their 15 minutes of medical school lecture on the ills of saturated fats, that does not change the fact that grass fed butter has been long regarded as a health food by those who study the topic with greater depth. Allow me to offer three examples of the healthful properties of grass fed butter, based on properties already mentioned previously in this piece of writing.
Grass fed butter has anti-cancer properties, grass fed butter has developmental benefits, and grass fed butter helps regulate hormones.
This make it unlike the loads of crap people shove into their craw that do the very opposite. The contents of the lining of my butter packaging is the least of the world’s concern. But leave it to ninny Democrat machine politicians and their ninny advisors to obsess over the irrelevant and to make the most naturally splendid state of the United States a little more miserable to live in.
Why is it miserable? Because some chemicals have been banned? No, because it is that much harder to live a life in line with the things that matter: like healthy eating.
Also it is delicious. Anything with grass fed butter in it is delicious, glorious, guilt-free eating. Leave it to some miserable perfectionist with a glandular imbalance to come up with some new way for others to be miserable.
Governor Newsom’s office is reachable at the following phone number: 916-445-2841. Twenty calls on this topic will be enough to get his staff’s attention. A hundred will probably be enough to delay the further implementation of the bill for a few months, especially if those calls continue and come from enraged Democrat supporters of the Governor.
Really? Their concern over PFAS is very interesting. Do you know what else is known to have PFAS contamination? The useless pseudo-intervention called a "mask". I didn't invent that theory. Search it up on Substack! Maybe elsewhere as well.
I wondered why I couldn’t find Kerrygold! But hey, you should look into www.azure standard.com. They’re a family company co-op and they sell Rumiano grass fed butter that is in my opinion even more delicious than Kerrygold.
