Led by RFK Jr., Conservatives Embrace Raw Milk. Regulators Say It’s Dangerous.

Fun fact: nearly 40% of all foodborne illnesses were caused by raw milk consumption. Pasteurization has reduced that number down to less than 1%, except in places where raw milk consumption is still allowed.

Let them. Darwin wins.

Can anyone explain to me why conservatives love raw milk so much? Is it like more profitable or something? Why the hell does this keep coming up?

If they die they die. It's a risk I'm willing to take

Regulators Say It’s Dangerous.

Not for long, they won't, because they won't be allowed to.

Why do these fucking morons always want the objectively worst thing? The absolute dumbest thing you can think of and they're all for it. Why is the world like this now? I can't fucking stand it. "Let's get rid of the FDA and OSHA!" Like, what the fuck is this horse shit. This shouldn't be allowed to happen! I'm legitimately losing my sanity more and more each day.

At least this time the disease will stay confined to the stupid.

They are going to harm their own children, too, which is the real tragedy here.

stop. don’t. come back…

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??

Let them drink raw milk

Beautiful ... the Darwin Awards are now coming to your grocery store

its because it is dangerous.

There's literally no point in selling non pasteurized milk, unless you want to waste money and cause potential health issues.

Literally all pasteurization does is heat up the milk, moderately, for a short period of time, and thats it.

It's more cost effective to do at scale, it's easier to regulate, ensuring consumer safety is easier, and ensuring that something happens if your dumbass doesn't do it properly, can also happen. The only reason you shouldn't do this is if you want to pasteurize your own milk, for some reason.

Maybe if you hate having free time, and need more responsibilities you should go synthesize your own fucking motor oil. Not pasteurize milk.

Cheese made from unpasteurized milk can be safe, its what happens in most of the world. As long as its done correctly, tested and labeled as such that is fine. The whole point of the cheesemaking process is to encourage the good microbes to outcompete with the bad ones to make the cheese since its a preservative method. Its the drinking of raw milk that is dangerous. So of course that is the part that everyone wants to do and fight about

This will almost certainly cause a rise in neonatal Listeria cases from maternal transmission...which even if the child survives, can leave them with lifelong disability and functional dependency. Through no fault of their own...just their parents.

I mean… science says it’s dangerous. Reality says it’s dangerous. And soon, for many, entropy will remember that it was dangerous.

Welp time to switch to 100% oat milk

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.

Let them drink it.

Big year for Tuberculosis

Pro tip for the MAGAs: raw milk tastes much better when the cows have brucellosis and TB.

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.

Soon to be former regulators I'm guessing.

I for one want to allow all conservatives to consume as much raw milk as they want.

Go Darwin! Go!

But I can still get the pasteurized stuff, right?

Unfortunately this wil presumably only be American conservatives.

Will they die?

Let them. It'll make the election in 4 years a lot easier.

The good news is that drinking raw milk will disproportionately kill conservatives. Every dead conservative is a net win for society.

Ehh let em reap the rewards. Like not wearing masks during covid 🤷‍♂️

Fair question from a French guy, here, where raw milk is not the most common, but easily available in stores, and recommended in many recipes. What's your opinion about raw milk cheese? Do you also think it's super dangerous? Industrialised pasteurized cheese is absolutely sad and boring, compared to raw milk french cheese (quality, variety, taste and authenticity)

Oh nooo.... Don't drink dangerous things against advice

Milk is dangerous.

They are voracious readers and consume a large amount of testing data, let the option be there, they are capitalist so the market will cull the product if its not wanted/needed.
