    I’ve had raw milk I think twice in my life - once straight from the tank at a dairy. It is exponentially more delicious than pasteurized. I wish there were a safe way to produce and consume it.

      Uv pasteurization is an alternative to heat pasteurization. It’s suppose to keep more of the milk proteins intact. Not sure how it taste tests against raw milk though.

    I asked my wife what was with all the raw milk promotion lately. We drove through rural MO and stores had “raw milk sold here” on signage.

    when i see this carp, all i can think of is:

    Even the best-behaved children can be difficult and challenging at times. But oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) includes a frequent and ongoing pattern of anger, irritability, arguing and defiance toward parents and other authority figures. ODD also includes being spiteful and seeking revenge, a behavior called vindictiveness.

      (I’m sorry I’ll see myself out)

      ODD somehow is about the only way I’ve found to successfully make me study; it does not, however, make one stupid (or suicidal, usually). Red hatters do that to themselves.

      I was ‘diagnosed’ with ODD at a young age. The reason is because I could clearly see when adults were lying and trying to manipulate me.

    Seems fine to me. This was like when the Republicans refused to vax only to end up killing themselves. Let them fuck around. They’ll find out soon enough.

      Unfortunately, that’s not the full picture. People got infected and transmitted to a lot of other people, and a lot of innocents ended up dead.

      When it comes to bird flu, more people being inconsequential about it, and deliberately getting it gives the virus a greater chance to develop mutations, and maybe affecting us in the long run. This is a really dangerous thing, and those people are doing something that puts us all in risk.

      What they really want is their base to think “the big bad fda is trying to control them.”

      This way, when their party dismantles the fda (in the interest of no longer regulating corporations on animal treatment or food or drug quality) their supporters cheer, as the food they are sold increases in price for continuous drop in quality and safety.

      Followed by the unregulated sale of placebo drugs making unrequited claims with with no studies on health or side effects required, the banning of generics, so on and so forth

      I’m okay with that part, but the flu virus mutating inside them and spreading to non-idiots is what worries me.

        With a high likelihood a pandemic is unavoidable considering how widespread eg. H5N1 is in animal populations, and it’s just a question of “when” not “if” – and it’ll probably kill a lot of people. Infection fatality rates are hard to predict, but for H5N1 I’ve seen estimates along the lines of 1 – 10%, with most probable being something in the range 1 – 3%. IFR should not be confused with the current case fatality rate which is around 50%. Those are just the bad cases that we know of and who end up in hospital, but the number of infections is probably higher.

        The only good thing about it is that reich-wingers are less likely to get a vaccine, meaning they’ll be more likely to die. Also doing idiotic shit like drinking raw milk from infected cows will mean more fatalities. Yes, it increases the chances of a mutation that’ll enable human-to-human transmission, but as I said that’s going to happen sooner or later anyhow.

    It will never stop being entertaining to me how the wannabe-iconoclast performative behavior of conservatives has them all acting like hippies lol. Raw milk, anti-vax,now they’re all happy about gun laws with Hunter’s conviction. Next thing you know there will be a conservative free love movement thinly veiled as a way to boost our low birth rates.

      What do you mean “will be”? They’ve explicitly encouraged having large families for centuries, and implicitly encouraged having kids outside a family too, by forbidding birth control and abortion.

        Yes but on the surface at least they also insist on monogamy or at the very least serial monogamy. Free love is typically more of a polyamorous movement.

              Similar to the “Uriah Method.” Send him to the front line of a battle, feign sadness upon his untimely (yet highly anticipated) death, then steal his wife.

                Well. Except for the fact that David had already gotten Bathsheba pregnant by that point. He had Uriah called back from the front so that there could be some plausible claim that Uriah was the father, but Uriah refused to have sex with his wife while he was on leave because–IIRC–he wanted to stand in solidarity with his buddies on the front line that weren’t home with their wives. So David had him killed in order to try and cover up their adultery.

                For a guy that’s supposed to be one of the good guys, David was a real piece of work.

            I actually know of one guy from an extremely religious family that married his brother’s wife when his brother died. I always wondered if it was true love or duty.

            That I am less upset about. Kids were a net profit in that time period. For a woman passed the point where she can just get married, with presumably her dowry being depleted, having a kid with the brother meant that she would have a hand in the whole not starving thing.

            I won’t judge people that poor for making hard decisions. Just be glad that no one reading this lives in a world like that.

      They already do. Have you been to Southern Ohio? It’s a love free for all. They only talk bad about you if you don’t fit into WASP standards. “Oh, they work together alot, emotions run, etc.” You guys don’t understand how much this anti-porn, anti-choice stuff is mostly just racism and more about “our cultural” than religion.

      You joke, but crop milk is a thing:

      Crop milk is a secretion from the lining of the crop of parent birds in some species that is regurgitated to young birds. It is found among all pigeons and doves where it is also referred to as pigeon milk. Crop milk is also secreted from the crop of flamingos and the male emperor penguin, suggesting independent evolution of this trait. Unlike in mammals where only females produce milk, crop milk is produced by both males and females in pigeons and flamingos; and in penguins, only by the male. Lactation in birds is controlled by prolactin, which is the same hormone that causes lactation in mammals.

    As long as raw milk doesn’t give you any contagious diseases that can be passed on to sane, responsible people, I’m fine with this.
