p1 - The BC Government survey about the time zones was an abomination when it happened, its results are meaningless and not trustworthy, because they didn't even present permanent standard time, the best option, as a choice, so voters could only pick between 2 inferior options.

Anyone claiming that they drank raw milk as a child and turned out fine, in fact they probably didn't. Going back to tradition doesn't mean drinking raw milk, most likely it was boiled at home...
