I do love raw milk but I’ll take mine powdered animal organ free. Thank you very much.

For comparison: processed meat is linked to about 34,000 cancer deaths a year. Sodas and other sweetened drinks are linked to about 200,000 deaths a year.
I can’t think of anything more disgusting than a hot dog and Coca Cola, but I don’t try to prevent other Americans from eating that. If I want to drink raw milk and eat raw cheeses, that’s my prerogative.

Not really an equivalent. You won’t drink a soda and hotdog and immediately fall ill E. coli (unless improperly cooked).
I’m totally fine with people consuming raw milk but we need real guidelines and protection cause a lot of stupid people exist.
In this article one of the raw milk producers specifically said people are looking for h1n1 infected cow milk as a possible immunization. Against h1n1 lol.

I have no interest in drinking raw milk, but the US’s restrictions on raw-milk cheeses are really annoying.

It’s happening soon, for better or worse.

That’s not really the issue, but I prob agree, with adequate warnings, about raw milk.
What this augurs about the ability to market unproven treatments I find concerning.

As someone who does not drink milk ever, in any form, can someone please enlighten me. What is the appeal of raw milk? Does it taste better than pasteurized milk?
2 Likes
Yes flavor. Most pasteurized milk really has not much, although Alexandre is pretty good.

Definitely more flavor.

Makes better cheese.

That is exactly the issue - raw milk is just a minor, minor issue but somebody who promotes “ chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine,” and many other “drugs” beyond their very limited clinically proven cases is just a disaster waiting to happen with potentially many people unnecessarily dying. Biotech is going through a very difficult time currently (for totally different reasons) but people underestimate how much a few people in key positions could potentially destroy innovation for a very long time in the US

i’m curious how folks would feel if someone drinks raw milk that contains h5n1 and hypothetically passes along a strain avian influenza with a 50% mortality rate; would we begin to rethink certain perceived prerogatives?

I have no opinions except on the tastiness of food.

You can add easily a qPCR test to the production process if somebody wants to sell raw milk
