    Fun fact:

    The dairy was fined in 2023 for a Salmonella outbreak and is very militantly anti-government.

    The why seems pretty clear.

    I’m cool with idiots who don’t know any better getting what’s coming to them… but I’m not really cool with them sneezing on the same door handles I turn.

    Just have a spoon of pesticides after drinking that pure natural raw milk. If it’s good for the corn it’s good for you.

    Wonder if they tried heating the milk up to 63 degrees C for 30 mins before consumption?

    Maybe that would help.

    Crazy how if it was any democrat saying drink raw milk s/he would likely be accused of a conspiracy in which he is trying to spread bird flu so they can have another pandemic and vaccine manufacturers make money out of it. But when a republican says it, s/he is probably celebrated for using the wisdom of our grand grand parents.

      I mean, viruses are kind of Trumps thing. Maybe H5N1 kills another million or so to mark his second term.

        H5N1 is way, way more lethal than Covid19.

        If it were to mutate to spread between humans without decreasing in lethality it would probably be the deadliest event in human history by a significant margin.

          It has been contracted by humans, but because we pasteurize and ultra pasteurize, the problem has been mostly moot. I’m still using ultra pasteurized dairy. It’s typically those who work very closely with the animals and such. Many a farmer will dip into that raw milk for their own table too.

          CDC data has 29 human cases 15 of which were serious to critical, with 7 deaths. That is NOT a large enough pool to establish a meaningful percentage, but it’s worth keeping an eye on with some level of concern. Especially with the number of medically minded dipshits we have in this country.

    Hey, I live there and someone just posted on our local Facebook page asking where to get some raw milk. I’ll send them a link.

    It’s so bizarre to see this discussion play out on the basis of “health”

    Because there is a legitimate discussion to be had about the economics of how milk pasteurization requirements have affected local dairy farms. How the unsanitary conditions of industrial scale milk production have made it a necessity. How marketing and corporate interests have shifted consumption patterns.

    And yet these fucking dipshits have turned this in to “pasteurized milk personally harms you!” In grifter circles.

    How screwed are we that we can’t talk about the complexities of how corporate farming practices have effected our food supplies with out couching it in terms of “health food”.

    I cannot express how much I hate the term “health food”. There is no such fucking thing as a “health food”.

    It makes me want to rip my hair out when these topics come up.

      This problem has always bugged me writ large as well. It seems nearly impossible to have any conversation that looks at the bigger picture of things in a complete and nuanced way.

      Take for example employment rates. It’s just taken as a given that high employment is the goal. But stop and think about that for a second. In any other part of your life is your goal to completely saturate all time with labor? No, obviously not.

      But the goals are set and we must achieve them. More money next quarter than last quarter, it doesn’t matter if every conceivable customer already has a subscription, we must grow. Make the product cheaper to make, charge more, do anything but consider that we might have picked stupid goals.

      Agreed with everything you said. I had a class about bio processes and one of them was about production of cheese and during the class both our professor and the scientist that was walking us through the chemistry of cheese making were constantly talking how pasteurization was really good for us all and how annoying it was that it made cheese making more difficult because of the way it messed with casein and other proteins, making it so that the cheese wouldn’t “coagulate” correctly (they used a specific term that I cannot remember for the life of me, sorry) but that was all. A protein being bent up a bit doesn’t negatively affect the milk of where just drinking it or using it to bake, Ave even for cheese making there are tequiniques to still make it into cheese with pasteurized milk.
