    The study you’re presumably referencing actually is said to quote it at 7%. So great news, there are about a quarter as many morons as you thought!

    The other great news is that, the Innovation Center For US Dairy (the source of our famous chocolate milk study) wasn’t done asking and answering serious journalistic questions!

    Thanks for bringing this group to my attention. Their rigorous and thoughtful work is crucial because as we all know, if the questions are insane, the answers don’t matter.

      I love that cows eat chocolate because it’s good for them. That made my day. I’ll try to forget about the whole industrial farming nightmare behind it though…

      Thanks! I considered looking the true stat up but it was just too silly and I couldn’t be bothered. This was even better than looking it up myself because now you gave us bonus silliness.
