What's in my milk!!

 The Science of Milk skin

Milk skin, the thin layer of proteins that forms when your milk is hot. For many people this might be an annoyance, especially when cooking using milk. 
First, let's figure out what milk is to understand this phenomenon. The dairy milk is produced by lactating animals. Lactation is the process where mammals produce milk in order to sustain their offspring. No, this doesn't necessarily mean that you are taking a baby's life force just so you can dip your cookies. Usually farmers inject hormones (that are perfectly humane) to make cows and other mammals produce extra milk. Milk is made of many proteins and h2o.  So when milk is boiled for the process of pasteurization* the h2o evaporates causing the proteins to condense creating milkskin



*Pasteurization, heat-treatment process that destroys pathogenic microorganisms in certain foods and beverages.

#Today'sImportantTalk VICTORY!! We did it. Sure it's not over but we have gotten used to this reality and we are all rocking each other's world while keeping each other safe from a distance [6 feet ar more]. And I think that's a great achievement. Day by day we rise higher above this situation to follow our dreams and not just weave around our difficulties and problems but fight them for our right to survive and thrive in this new environment. We have all developed new skills to cope with the hardships of a time like this. And will be more than ready for something like this in the future. we have made room for innovation, an [crashing] economy [we're still working on that], work, school, music, and all that we love while still keeping everyone safe and happy. You need to realize how far we've come and even though we have a long way to go we need to celebrate how much we've achieved on this scary time. So congratulations to all my friends family and eve...

#MyBigGoal To have fun and chill all day. #Today'sImportantTalk GMOs: SHOULD WE WORRY🌽 The straight answer, there is none. GMOs are Genetically Modified Organisms. We usually modify foods, so that they are easier to access for our ever-growing population. Adding modifications in plants and crops is just adding on to the existing DNA to make the plant more sustainable. there is a good side and bad side to adding GMOs.Let me give you two examples. One way we're using them is by infusing our food with more nutrients like proteins and for people who have deficiencies it will also make produce healthier. the other way GMOs are used is by making plants immune to pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides which might also cause cancer in humans. So it's a 50,50 decision for whether GMOs are safe or not. #MyAdvice TODAY'S TOPIC: knots recently when I was shuffling around my room I found some surprisingly strong rope in one of my drawers and I tried doin...

#Today'sImportantTalk  ... OR ARE YOU CONFUSED ?                                                                  The topic I have chosen for today is a famous dilemma that all the trolley (a trolley in New York is a mode of public transport. A lot like the metro that you might be more familiar with) drivers of New York City have to learn about. It's known as the trolley dilemma. Imagine a trolley. It's moving along the track at a fast pace up ahead on the track, you see five people stuck on the tracks, but there is another track the trolley can switch to on which one person is stuck. If you were standing near a lever that can switch the trolley to a different track, would you switch to the second track killing one person or stay on the one ...
