What I find shocking is you assumed the "before" image wasn't shopped!

I went looking for evidence it was real and just found a bunch of people claiming it was from 2008, no snopes article (which shocked me) and a bunch of people on reddit saying it was teal but very outdated and to argue about something recent.

But both of y'all saw a post that was edited and treated the "before" as real. Remarkable

Or you could get your head out your ass pretending like it isn't exactly the kind of bullshit peta have been pulling for years, put your bias and urge to jump to their defence for who the hell knows why to one side, and actually click some of the results?

Like the Time article that includes the following quote from peta:

But even in light of the criticism and the science that shows no such effects of milk, the group stands by its insupportable claim, saying, in a statement, “PETA’s website provides parents with the potentially valuable information that researchers have backed up many families’ findings that a dairy-free diet can help kids with autism.”

Hey. Put that shit away. I'm not experiencing a "bias" because I tried to confirm something I saw in an image macro before I got into a diatribe.

Are you okay? I've never seen you be this pissy on the fediverse before.

E: And because apparently it bears saying, even though I never indicated otherwise, fuck Peta. Seriously don't know how "please make sure the thing you're arguing about is worth arguing about" made me a Peta apologist. I've literally never met anyone, even online, who liked that organization.

You're right, I didn't verify it. I also didn't email them about it or show my ass about it in public, just the discussion here where it was presented. Sounds like your research was inconclusive but thanks for looking into it.
