    You’re not a true Patriot if your milk is pasteurized. What are you, some kind of blue haired, gender-confused libtard? Only bitches and minorities drink pasteurized milk.

    Is what I would say if I wanted as many fascists to drink raw milk as possible

      Yeah it’s not the kids fault but at the same time they will likely grow up ignorant and MAGA.

        Given enough circumstances like these, the kids will have no choice but to reject them or die.

    If only there was long held scientific understanding of the health risks of raw milk, and the benefits of pasteurization. What a wonderful world that would be.

      I mean it only comes out of the warm teet of a barnyard animal, what’s the worst that could happen?

      Why bother sterilizing the milk before you drink it? In fact, I’ve heard raw milk doesn’t even need to be refrigerated because of all the beneficial bacteria it’s got (hard /S, btw)

      You know what’s strange, though? My 7th grade science teacher used to preach to the class about how he and his wife were getting into drinking raw milk and how it’s supposedly so much better for you. So… if that’s any indication what kind of county I grew up in…

      That was back in the late aughts when dubya was still in office, too. So it’s not like it was just a case of the RFK jr. brainworm…

    About 4 or 5 years ago, my neighbor’s adult children (and by extension my neighbor) got really big into the raw milk craze. For awhile, he’d mention all the benefits compared to store bought milk that’s homogenized & pasteurized and supposedly it’s those processes that make it unhealthy.

    I don’t remember exactly when they stopped talking about raw milk, but at some point that topic stopped coming up anymore. Then one day, my neighbor told me he was going over to his daughter’s to drop off a gallon of (store bought) milk, and I replied with something like “I thought she only drank raw milk”.

    That’s when he told me that the family stopped drinking raw milk a while ago after everybody got sick from a bad batch.

    Anyway, I have had raw milk as a child one time when a local farmer dropped some off for us to try. I don’t recall it very well since I was pretty young but I vaguely remember not liking it because it tasted too much like the way cows smell and it was thicker (more viscous) than I was expecting so there was a bit of “gross factor”. I’m sure it wouldn’t be gross if I had grown up drinking it, though.

      Almost anything can be consumed “raw” if the entire handling chain is working 100%. The reality is - even without capitalism - germs can spread pretty easily, people can make mistakes, and contamination is inevitable. Once you add capitalist incentives to cut corners, go faster, and produce more… it’s a disaster waiting to happen. The more popular raw milk gets, the more dangerous it will be.

      The absolute safest way to drink raw milk is to pick it up directly from a farmer that you know, and that has a very low volume farm, and is very educated on the best handling and bottling processes. Again… the types of farmers that will be selling such a risky product aren’t the ones you want to be buying from.

        Raw milk is lower risk if it is one or two cows, and only one distributor - like “I know a cow”. That said, yer still gonna get sick from it eventually. cow poop and milk sources are simply too close together.

    This is the dumbest headline ever.

    Same with all the measles outbreaks and all the AntiVa/AntiMa Karens during Covid. I swear, some people seem hellbent on self-harm. It’d be one thing if it was only themselves they were harming.

        I’d bet many of these assholes were the ones that sat in school and grumbled about how they have “street smarts” and school wasn’t practical and was about “book smarts” and it was a huge waste of their time because of what daddy and mommy already told them about the world.

        Never getting equipped to understand how the world really works, how to distinguish sense from nonsense, how science works, and how to spot logical fallacies.

        Some of them may have even stumbled their way through higher education, but missed out on really learning anything other than being able to (barely) do a job.

        Now “doing their own research” via streamers, social media posts, random sites from influencers, etc…

          This is right wing Idaho… many of these folks haven’t sat in a school for a day in their life. They were “home schooled” or went to a cultist religious school. The government distrust runs so deep that a bunch of them likely were born in their own home, never saw a doctor, never had a vaccination, and don’t legally exist on paper.

          I’m not saying they don’t have any responsibility for their actions… but if you consider the environment they have been immersed in… they don’t really stand a chance.

    The Department of Health and Welfare didn’t disclose the names of dairies in North Idaho and southern Idaho that are linked to the outbreaks.

    I guess doing that would be “DEI” or “woke” or something.

      God I hate that smug bullshit. I still hear them say it even now.

      I personally know some dumbfucks that are proud that they didn’t get “the jab”.

      So fucking stupid.

      Don’t worry, they haven’t.

      What’s funny is that they’re dumb enough to do this, but someone will be “clever” enough to find a way to blame Biden.
