As always with these headlines, it’s best to not fall for extremes and rage bait. Not all milk has to be homogenized. And if the supply is near, as in you can buy it from a small farm that has cows grazing, raw is fine.
Europe had this figured out forever. Not sure why you need brain worm guy to lay the smack down on stupid rules in North America.
What’s the point though? Just heat it up a bit and it’s safe. The only argument for why you shouldn’t do that is conspiracy nonsense.
Last time there was a surge in raw milk consumption tons of ppl got sick.
Where? From a bad source? Of course.
Again, I was drinking raw milk in European countryside all the time growing up.
Figure out inspections and local distribution, like they have them in vending machines in small towns. And then go from there.
None of the things you’re showing here exist in the country the subject matter is about.
They don’t exist, because the milk industry is captured by the agriculture industry. Same thing in Canada.
Yeah, that isn’t going to work in the States. Milk production here is big business. Just like all other industries, they are going to the cheapest route possible. And those beautiful vending machines you posted would be destroyed within a week.
Destroyed by who? What makes them not destroyed all across Europe?
Yes, the milk industry is a problem. Just like in Canada, the milk cartels are making it impossible for small farms to do business independently due to lobbying for laws that prevent competition from entering the market in a meaningful way.
It’s delicious! Give you diarrhea sometimes though.
So a win/win?
We should stop posting about Trump and his group of extraordinary morons.
The news cycle thrives on Trump, as every decision he makes manages to anger half the population, while the other half cheers him on simply to annoy liberals and progressives. This dynamic generates more clicks and ad revenue for news outlets, allowing Trump to continue making foolish decisions just to remain in the spotlight.
The only way to change this is to stop giving him space in the news.
Ignoring a problem won’t make it go away.
Well, as long as only their terminally stupid follow these ideas, well, let them.
If they allow non-prescription antibiotic use too, and gut Federal law requiring quarantine, that’s a great way to get resistant strains of tuberculosis.
I think everyone is making way too much out of this. What could possibly go wr-
Oh.
Weird, I didn’t get a paywall with the first one.
I didn’t either.
Newspapers need to just call RFK jr what he is - a child killer. Forget about this raw milk stuff and lay out the direct harm he has caused including deaths of babies from his vaccine misinformation.
They never will. Especially now that we’ve elected an authoritarian dictator who is hellbent on exacting retribution on anyone who may have slighted him.
And that includes literally just reporting objective reality. They might jail or execute one or two journalists to send a message, but they’ll fall in line.
I wanna say yay Darwin will save the day but I’m too afraid of intentional sabotage on pasteurized milk.
It’s a good day to drink oat milk.
Lol you know what would be 5d chess to get people to become vegan by Sabotaging all the food production standards to 18th century level.
Vegans in the US just have to worry about E.coli contamination
Luckily it is super easy to not drink milk at all if you are not a baby cow
experts say it’s dangerous
Then just get rid of them. Simple.
By doing this, he is pushing more people to consume plant based milk to help the planet. It’s actually big brain of him.
I highly doubt adults consuming cow’s milk in 2024 have reasoning skills at that level.
Great you just turned more people from your cause
Silly me, I thought I’d win people over with that 🙄 What led you to believe that was my intention?
Sorry… you think milk makes people stupid?
No, I think only stupid people could possibly slurp down breast milk meant for babies of a completely different species.
What a bizarre superiority complex to have just because you don’t like animal cruelty.
I don’t like animal cruelty either, but I know enough about history to know that massive civilizations were built by people who used dairy products.
But hey, let’s extend this to other groups. Like all the indigenous tribes in the world that hunt for their food.
Or how about the Maasai? They literally cut their cows and drink their blood. Those stupid backward black people, am I right?
You’re definitely superior to any of those savages from the dark continent.
We get it, you’re vegan. We can tell by the smugness and the pretentious virtue signaling.
We get it, you copied some Reddit comment a long time ago and that’s your default retort.
Maybe I copy-pasted it from the deepest entrails of my brain. Who knows? Even I can’t tell ya.
But I did think of it, reworded it, and then edited it, so…
And you’re a dumbass
Oops, I think I hit the nail on the head and it squeaked.
Someone is having trouble admitting they’re wrong.
Are they not vegan? But if it talks and walks like one…
Also, holy shit the Avengers assembled.
How is it virtue signalling when it prevents the deaths of many animals.
Breaking news: hunger is solved by people furiously typing at their keyboards.
You’re right, tho. But what are we gonna do about the smugness?
Calling others who reduce animal suffering as smug is not the own you think it is.
It’s not the message, it’s the delivery.
The truth always stings.
We get it, you like to torture animals.
Can’t say I like it having never done it. I gather you don’t recommend it?
Eating the flesh and secretions against the consent of the animals is enjoying torture.
you are stretching definitions to meaninglessness. no one likes torture.
Is it now? Aren’t they dead by then?
I’m just saying, accusing people of enjoying torture is exactly the smug attitude I’m criticizing. You can take your better-than-thou attitude and shove it.
bigworm brainIf by “big” you mean “inflamed”.
The term you’re looking for is holy…
hole milk?
I’ve got some… Nope! Not gonna finish that sentence! 😄
the guy responsible for the death of 83 Samoans has more health advice …
Oh god he’s gonna kill someone
He’s already killed a lot of people.
He also likely killed some people with his anti COVID vaccine rhetoric back in 2020.
That’s the plan.
Again
Don’t worry, the worms will protect your brain…
Then why was everyone eating horse dewormer during the pandemic?
Well isn’t that the question of the decade?..
By experts, do they mean anyone that paid attention to science and/or history classes in any developed country?
Let’s see here, RFK wants to ban vaccines and promote raw milk.
There is currently a bird flu epidemic in dairy cattle from bird droppings getting into the feed.
Consuming raw milk is one of the few ways humans can become infected with bird flu.
I’m sure this will be fine and the virus won’t mutate to allow for human to human transfer, it if it does luckily it only has a 56% mortality rate compared to the Covid morality rate of ~4% during its peak.In the US, right now, the dairy farms where they let the cats drink raw milk saw half their cats die.
This is an actual thing.
You’re sort of right ( based on the article I think you read about) The cats drank bird flu contaminated raw milk which led to them dying. that being said, for that reason, raw milk is very dangerous to humans because pasteurized milk wouldn’t be as dangerous. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/04/concerning-spread-of-bird-flu-from-cows-to-cats-suspected-in-texas/
I am more than a little confused.
According to your article
By March 20, over half of the farm’s 24 or so cats died from the flu.
That is pretty much exactly what I said
I learned about this at a CBRNE conference from people familiar with the situation.
Yeah, that’s exactly what you said. He also said raw milk is dangerous to humans because pasteurized milk is safer for humans (??). I think he’s drunk or just very dumb. Either way, just ignore him.
You might misunderstand. The bird droppings did not accidentally get into the cow feed. Humans put it there intentionally to save money. Just search for “poultry litter” or “boiler litter” and “cattle feed” if you don’t believe me. The people who came up with this idea are actually proud of it.
RFK is secretly a flu virus wearing a human suit.
[preface and disclaimer: I’m remembering off the top of my head something I read over 30 years ago, details may not be exactly correct]
Not sure whether you remember the chapter of Sideways Stories from Wayside School, by Louis Sachar, in which there was a student who nobody liked, who was a real asshole and wore a stinky raincoat. The kids kept trying to take off his raincoat, but underneath was another, stinkier raincoat, just layers and layers of progressively stinky raincoats, and with every raincoat removed, the kid just became a bigger asshole and his laugh louder and more high-pitched.
At the very end, he turned out to be a dead rat in a pile of stinky raincoats.
That’s what the whole administration is shaping up to be. Except we knew this was coming and allowed it to happen, so I guess that, ultimately, we are the dead rat.
On the plus side the high mortality rate should lower the spread.
True, but on the minus side, dumb people actively seeking out the infected milk would artificially increase the instances and thus the spread.

I’m sorry I only see benefits here.
That’s because you’re overlooking the fact that stupid people mingle with other people whether they want to or not.
If you don’t have at least a handful of truly idiotic coworkers and neighbors, you’re probably a self-employed hermit…
I have idiotic coworkers but I also work from home so my exposure in minimal.
You still interact with other people in person, and one or more of them interacts with the public.
If you learned nothing else from CoViD-19 I would hope you at least learned that you are only a couple degrees of separation from a hotbed of infection at most.
But on the plus side, dumb people actively infect themselves and get removed from the gene pool.
But on the minus side, other people don’t have the choice to completely avoid those dumb people and thus minimize their risk of infection.
If they did, covid wouldn’t have been a tenth as bad as it was.
I don’t care. Do you?
They voted for this, they can deal with the consequences.
Dumb af is what it is.
