Maybe we can speed the process up by convincing them to eat raw chicken, too.

I for one welcome the new natural selection process. Can we do more of these?

At least with this one they're only killing themselves and their own kids.

Because it's the dumbest fucking thing they could do that doesn't show immediate harm to them in the short-term.

They think raw milk is natural, but would they still feel that way if they knew how selectively bred all dairy cows are at this point? The DNA of the dairy cow is where the milk manufacturing pipeline begins. We didn't select for sanitary milk from the udder because we knew it could be pasturized later in the pipeline.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

These people fundamentally don't understand nature. We had cows for 8,000 years or so, we existed at least x200 that. So it's 0.5% of our existance which means it's a relatively new technology. Even if you appeal to naturalism here it makes absolute no sense.

There might be one or two far leftists here. Seriously curious, does anyone here think drinking raw cow's milk is a good idea? Why?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Tastes better. Probiotic, so can be healthier. Risk is very low of contamination, low enough that the mandate for pasteurized milk was kinda overblown, but technically safer.

I find the posturing the funniest. Conservatives trying to act tough by drinking raw milk is hilariously tame. It's like being proud of not wearing sun screen when mowing the lawn. Like, that's arguably fine either way, but sunscreen is a little safer but...why would you brag about that?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Probiotic, so can be healthier

Objectively not true. Zero actual evidence to support that. Also probiotic in itself is not a real thing and the only scientifically probiotic thing is fiber, any fiber because unsurprisingly to care for your bacteria you... need to feed and protect them not introduce more fuckboy dudes coming in trying to fuck shit up lol.

I think it was originally a "do we really need the government to mandate this" when they were appealing to the idea of like, a small family farm with people idyllically milking a single cow into a bucket. Then that idea morphed into an actual advocacy of drinking it when it got combined with the sort of "crunchy" "paleo" pseudoscience "health nut" movements.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think the foothold thought was that pasteurization destroys more than just bacteria, and milk might be healthier and/or tastier without having been changed by that process. Of course taste is largely culturally acquired - example A being Germans and UHT milk - but lots of people fancy themselves taste-o-philes.

Then the mistrust of "them" kicked in, and if "they" said the risk of pathogenic bacteria far outweighed any marginal health benefit, the "truth" must be the opposite.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's easier too if you're the one milking, with the exception that pasteurization also extends shelf life

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

I feel like it used to be a super far left thing but the spectrum is a horseshoe as I'm sure you know. I also think it comes a bit from the prepper community which tends to be "libertarian"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The alt right crowd are weird as shit. Nobody gave a fuck about "raw milk" until the last year or so.

I've seen signs for raw milk in the UK now. The local Facebook groups have tinfoil hat types who think there's a giant conspiracy about Arla (huge milk wholesaler) milk not selling, and taking photos of milk in shops to "prove" it...

The world seems to be in a mental health crisis, and while I'm not suggesting reopening Bedlam lunatic asylum we should probably pay some attention to this. Social media has a lot to answer for

People who make cheese as a hobby have called for the ability to buy raw milk for years.
That said alot of people in the hobby also confuse pasteurization with homogenization. I can get cheese almost as good as raw milk by mixing pasturized skim and heavy cream together. Trying to use Homogenized milk results in a mess.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I work at a tailgate market in a left leaning area. There's always one or two people who come looking for raw milk and I have to explain that the milk we sell is UV pasteurized instead of heat pasteurized, so the proteins are more intact. They're never satisfied with that. They tend to have accents, so I assume they use to get raw milk in their country, but in their country, the milk isn't being mixed from hundreds of cows, possible from completely different farms, so the rick of contamination is much lower where they're from.

I tell them to find a farm and tell them you want to make cheese. It's not my problem if they want to make themselves sick.

Because our ancestors did it and they were strong Chads.

We should have a weekly celebration where conservatives drink raw milk together. Just guzzle it all down you idiots.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

As someone who stopped drinking raw milk as soon as I became aware of the bird flu issue they have whatever happens to them coming. They're incredibly goddamn stupid.

I just like non homogenized milk, it's hard to find pasteurized. Nothing worth dying over ffs.
