In America, the milk might contain almonds, soy, cockroach juices, and mystery UHT and contain no milk at all. But the food and drug administration bureau rats are quite sure they know more about truth in labelling than me.

UHT is not a mystery though, it stands for «ultra-high temperature». Whether the milk is still milk after it, is a quite complicated question.

Yes, it is about the ultra high temperature pasteurisation and the question remains. Is cooked milk byproduct milk? Working on mysteries without any clues...

To be fair, it seems possible it was locked because of a flamewar in the comments below (assuming I understand Reddit policies correctly).

You mean it's against the rules to make what appears to be a reasonable observation if it incites disagreement? ;)

No, that moderators may do whatever they deem necessary to stop the peasants from breaking the rules; they just locked the post, not removed it.

I was just wondering what rule that seemingly-innocuous post could possibly have broken.

Quite likely it just inspired other people to break rules in the comments.

Reddit is run by communists. It is not even hidden. They are bloody about it. It is not now and never will be true Blueit.

The most transitory and distinterested and least powerful worker demographic in America mobilized its forces to make the most populous state raise said demographic's minimum wage. Sure man, tell me more.
