Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
They think there are health benefits to drinking it because the pasteurization process kills off good and bad microbes and bacteria. The risk is in no way worth the potentially beneficial microbes and bacteria, if those even exist and they probably don't.
There is probably a little less risk if the farm treats their cows more humanely than a typical commercial dairy, but cows stomp around in mud and fling poop everywhere. It's basically just a way for small dairy farmers to charge a higher price for milk.
Any taste differences probably come down to a higher milk fat content, or being non-homogonized.
Why not just eat yogurt?...
It lets them do a subscription model. Since raw milk sales are illegal but using it from your own cow is not, you get it by buying a share in a dairy cow. Now you're subscribed to your diseased milk. Netflix milk.
