    I saw raw milk sold at school. Didn’t understand it. What’s the difference? If I gave you two cups with raw and pasteurized, could you tell the difference?

    I drank milk from the tank and cream is the best. However, I still prefer pasteurized milk. If the MAGAts want to drink raw milk, let them and watch the green apple splatter flow.

    You know what, just let it happen. I’ll just do my best to stay away from any milk for four years. We’ll see how things turn out afterwards.

      I think that’s their point. Just let them be adults and decide. I think overall it’s a very calculate issue used as a proxy for something else. What I don’t understand is why the Democrats or people on the left haven’t seen this stuff for what it is. Also there’s no counter to this strategy. It’s like a weird game theory situation where one group is knows game theory and the other side knows how to play checkers

        That much is true. Its a proxy for industry de-regulation.

        I’m all for people getting the raw milk they demand, because I hope it will lead to a quick demise.

          Problem is, if they acquire a novel virus, they can basically send us into another pandemic.

          This kind of crap hurts everyone.

            Honestly?

            It would not be a bad thing, if that were to happen in the US. Then, we wouldn’t be able to fuck over other countries, due to a severe lack of manpower.

          Big Dairy would probably mark everything up, selling pasteurization as a premium feature.

      The flu in general is great at swapping proteins with other strains many of which are extant in the population right now. Every human bird flu infection of which there are presently few is a chance for highly pathogenic bird flu to make a version that is more transmissible which might yet retain its present greater than covid lethality. If this happens millions could die among them the most vulnerable including the old and those with auto immune disorders. Most of these folks who would die don’t themselves drink raw milk for obvious reasons.

        Well, thankfully, civilized nations around the globe will be able to contain the damage to mostly just the fascist Imperial States of America.

    Sorry but how the fuck are insurance companies OK with this? They hold extreme amounts of power over the US. They are going to have to do ridiculous amounts of payouts for hospital bills.

    How the fuck are people’s life saving surgeries getting denied at pre-approval, but they are not denying people’s coverage for fucking drinking raw milk??

      They don’t pay out the bills lol. I imagine they’ll work on dismantling the ACA/“Obamacare.” Insurance will cover nothing.

      Same as every other money minded entity, if they speak out they’ll be shouted down or destroyed. Ethics don’t matter, number go up.

        Tuberculosis is also carried in unpastuerised milk. The US currently has the largest outbreak in its history.

          Yeah, in Kansas City. From what I’ve been able to track down, Patient Zero came back from a recent trip to the Federated States of Micronesia. Current infected rate reported hit 66 people, but that might be higher.

          If you’re in the Midwest, brush up on symptoms to look for, and stay away from Nursing Homes and elementary schools if you’re vulnerable.

        Bird flu? Human-to-human either isn’t happening, or is extremely rare, can’t remember.

        For now. If it mutates to become more contagious without becoming less deadly, that becomes an everyone problem
