Many, but not all, of the anti -pasteurization people believe that there is an invisible “life force” in the milk that is killed by processing. This is an old idea, but this unfalsifiable and unprovable “life force” thinking undergirds a lot of pseudoscience. People believe in getting energy aligned and unblocked and so on, and believe that drinking milk with mysterious life force is more natural.

“Anglicized” is probably not the best way to think about it. The Latin letter “v” was pronounced “w” through the classical period, but had shifted to β or v (fricative) by the third century, long before English existed. V was pronounced v (voiced labiodental fricative) for many centuries. And though we do tend to give the classical period a lot of prestige, it was just one phase for Latin.

All this evidence is against time shifts, not against daylight time. The click shifts are undeniably bad, but the evidence against permanent DST is weak.

This is a good point. These position statements treat standard time as though it is synonymous with circadian alignment, which makes some bad assumptions. Fundamentally the bad assumption is that if there is light in the morning people will be exposed to it. Most people go from a curtained bedroom to a windowless office or classroom, and don’t get much sun exposure in the morning whether the sun is up or not. It’s arguable that the only thing that matters is whether the sun’s up during free time, which for most people occurs only in the early evening.

It’s the other way around. The hour “gained” (shifted from morning to evening) in the evening is in the summer. Permanent DST would mean sundown at 5pm in the winter for you.
