I live in western Canada, the nearest Ihop is in Seattle..

Lol oursis doing it to...they said please donate if ur gonna get pancakes lol wtf then they aren't free if I pay somthing

It's free pancakes for charity. You get to omnom and donate a little for their cause.

Being lactose intolerant, I never get pancakes from IHOP. Their sirloin tips & eggs are decent though.

You should tell them to make it with fresh, raw milk so you get digestive enzymes but that's probably not gonna happen unless we get rid of the FDA.

Feeding corn to cows has nothing to do with the bacteria that is present in the milk, milk borne disease was around long before Louis Pasteur dicovered microbacteria and milk from cows that ate grass could carry disease back then as well.

The gastric stomach of humans is a barrier to food-borne pathogens, but Escherichia coli can survive at pH 2.0 if it is grown under mildly acidic conditions. Cattle are a natural reservoir for pathogenic E. coli, and cattle fed mostly grain had lower colonic pH and more acid-resistant E. coli than cattle fed only hay. On the basis of numbers and survival after acid shock, cattle that were fed grain had 106-fold more acid-resistantE. coli than cattle fed hay, but a brief period of hay feeding decreased the acid-resistant count substantially.

...

A survey of 61 cattle indicated that grain supplementation could increase total and acid-resistant E. coli numbers (Table 1). Cattle fed either hay or fresh grass (pasture) had a colonic pH greater than 7.0, the total E. coli count was only 20,000 cells per gram, and virtually all of these bacteria were killed by an acid shock that mimicked the pH of gastric juice. Moderate amounts of grain (60% of dry matter) did not cause a statistically significant decrease in pH (P < 0.05), but the total E. coli population was 6.3 × 106 viable cells per gram of digesta. Some of the E. coli were killed by acid shock, but the acid-resistant count was greater than 25,000 viable cells per gram. When animals were fed more than 80% grain, the pH was significantly lower (P < 0.05), and the acid-resistant E. coli count was 250,000 viable cells per gram.

I agree that raw milk is fine if produced properly, but the problem with raw milk is you have no idea about the conditions in which it was produced unless you do it yourself. Also, the supposed health benefits of raw milk are as yet unverifiable through any research despite the fact that there have been many studies on the subject.

Have fun with that raw milk, I will stick to the stuff that has been cleansed of potential nastiness. Disease outbreaks related to raw milk are more common than you think.
