I think the story goes beyond not drinking raw cow milk and pasteurization at this point. Behind the scenes there is def 'concern'. The first time cattle were known to ever be infected was March of this year.
Two possible bird flu vaccines could be available within weeks, if needed The H5N1 virus has infected at least 36 herds across nine states, raising the risk of potential human spread, federal health officials said Wednesday. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/two-possible-bird-flu-vaccines-available-weeks-needed-rcna149961
“The risk here of something going from one or two sporadic cases to becoming something of international concern, it’s not insignificant,” CDC Principal Deputy Director Nirav Shah said at a Council on Foreign Relations event on Wednesday. “We’ve all seen how a virus can spread around the globe before public health has even had a chance to get its shoes on. That’s a risk and one that we have to be mindful of.” https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/01/bird-flu-outbreak-cows-biden-00155452
Could always stop contributing to this and just eat/drink plants.
You mean cats? Are they not obligate carnivores?
No, I mean people. The reason the farm exists.
Ah. OK. Thanks for clarifying
Milk is not good for cats to begin with.
Other than cat milk, possibly? I've honestly no idea.
But " just eat/drink plants " will kill a cat right?
Pretty sure you know they mean us, the cats won't drink this milk naturally without the dairy farms for human consumption
I was genuinely asking because it wasn't (and still isn't) clear that that's what they meant.
The dairy farm thing makes sense.
No way! I've lived this way and I'll destroy my world this way. You must be some kind of crazy /s
Hahahaha! Been a triathlete for 6 years and a distance runner for 20. Not hurting for protein or calcium at all after dropping cow dairy and most meat (I occasionally have fish 1-3 times a week). Went off eggs a few years, too, and was fine. There's so many alternatives these days—even for people who don't have time to prepare/cook.
I always thought raw milk was only really useful for making cheese.
I can't see any reason to drink it.
It’s not worth the risk but there is certainly some loss of nutritional value when being pasteurized.
