For those of you who don’t know raw milk is very dangerous and was responsible for killing a large chunk of children before pasteurizing milk was standard. These people are giving poop milk to their babies and then pretending that they “didn’t know” when it kills them or makes them blind.
To say raw milk is unequivocally bad is nonsense. used to buy raw milk from a local farm that ran a tight ship with hygiene, drank it for years and my dairy farmer friend isnt against it.there is risk, most of the health claims are bs, but part of its illegality is that it’s hard to regulate.Pasteurized milk is an absolutely amazing invention and much easier to regulate and a simple process. People just ought to be educated and make the best choice for themselves (like pregnant women shouldn’t)
Ok well as someone that is in public health AND grew up around farm animals including cows this is a stupid argument. There are massive health concerns and the “I’m ok so it’s fine argument” is not backed by science. It is not safe for ANYONE to drink raw milk including you. Yes it is more unsafe for pregnant women and children to drink it but you shouldnt either. It’s easy to say “people should decide for themselves” in a world of misinformation where you think it won’t affect you
it’s not safe for anyone to drink milk contaminated with listeria and other harmful bacteria. Not all raw milk is contaminated with said harmful bacteria, just on average theres a higher chance of such. Part of why pasteurization came about was the terrible farming practices in burgeoning industrial farms. My local farm was quite small, and was very vigilant in their cleaning and proper diet.All to prevent a breeding ground of bacteria.I accepted the risk, I’m not saying that other people should
