      as long as you test properly

      I suspect you need some perspective on this because you’re mistakenly assuming it’s something like the UK government which has at least been forced into concessions by communists and the european labour movements led by communists of the past.

      1 in 6 americans, 16.67%, get food poisoning per year.

      1 in 28, 3.6%, get food poisoning per year in the UK

      America is not fucking testing anything mate. Their food hygiene is absolutely atrocious and they’re making it even worse. Your mistake here is thinking that the american state functions to do literally anything positive for the people, it does not. It functions to maximise profit for the financial class and minimise resistance by use of culture war, brutal violence and incarceration.

          It is not. I can’t say exactly why that is (probably several reasons), but the US has significantly higher rates of food poisoning compared to other western countries.

          This is not a defence of other western countries obviously, merely highlighting that the US is in a league of its own when it comes to being uniquely awful at anything involving regulation.

      I don’t see anything wrong with it as long as you test properly

      Decades of scientific advancement aside, do you really think this country of all places is going to commit the funds for that when it’s busy trying to dismember every regulatory body

        And they call US naive.

      also H5N1 is ripping through US dairies right now and transmittable via raw milk, so shit like this is sure to pour gasoline on that particular fire

      Milk before pasteurization (raw milk) is a literal breeding ground for pathogens and with all the news of US gutting stuff, I don’t think that they would do any type of tests.

      As one of those weirdos that fine drinking raw milk, I beg this country to not allow it to be sold third party.

      If you want it make the effort to get it straight from the tap or make the effort to drive out to the farm where you can see the process and pick the milk up directly.
