There's currently an e-coli outbreak in Idaho due to raw milk. 9 sick, 2 of them children.
Sounds like the problem is solving itself.
Kids dying is bad. Just my opinion.
True.
You don't have to agree, I'm not a cop.
Okay, but if you were you'd have to tell us. It's the rules.
What it they heat the milk to a high but not boiling temperature to kill the ecoli bacteria?
Well, that pisses off God and makes libruls happy. Can't do it.
Now, a New Mexico newborn has died, and while medical experts have not yet determined an exact cause, they have determined that “the most likely source of infection was unpasteurized milk.” Not because the baby drank raw milk, but because their mother did, while she was pregnant.
Yooooo new legal abortion pill just dropped
The mother died too. That's like saying the best way to beat cancer is let it kill you.
100% success rate.
Reminds me of "Liston's most famous case":
This episode has since been dubbed as the only known surgery in history with a 300 percent mortality rate.

So, homogenization? I could take it or leave it. But pasteurization? Literally no reason to reject it, outside of extremely niche recipes that you aren’t making. Going at raw cow titty juice seems absurdly stupid.
Lots of great cheeses made with raw milk, though I assume making cheese from it is somehow safer than consuming the raw milk itself.
Lots of great cheeses
That's what he said: "extremely niche recipes you aren't making."
You ain't some artisanal dairy in the French Alps that's been making cheese the same way for 200 years, and neither are any of the lunatics complaining about US pasteurization laws.
How do you know? Maybe I am.
Somewhat safer. Step one of making cheese is usually heating up the milk, so that can kill things on its own, then you are going to mix in an acid to get it to curdle probably lemon juice or something. Salt is often added as well. Once you've separated the curds and the whey, you end up having to age the cheese, and there are requirements for aging to ensure the possible bad bacteria sits with the salt for a while, say a couple months. It limits or gets rid of most of the possibility of things like salmonella growing in it. Soft cheeses I hear are more at risk than hard cheeses when it comes to raw milk. (More air I assume, less compact to the salt)
there is a place for natural fermentation with unpasteurized stuff. I am NOT doing it with milk. I'll get my bacteria from sauerkraut or kimchi
Don't forget lambics, there used to be a few I really enjoyed
Or fine filtered which will remove more bacteria without heating.
Raw milk seems like a fine option for a farmer. Or really anyone that can see the cow from where they're standing. Any farther away than that and you must be nuts
In fact the raw milk just entices leopards to eat it faster.
Let the idiots drink that stuff. The less idiots, the better.
I would agree, but innocent children will die. Otherwise, I would say go for it, bozos.
I'm of the opinion that raw milk is a part of rural American culture. I don't want to make it so these people can't express their culture. That being said, feeding raw milk to a baby? Are you fucking kidding me? Do people not know the risk? Are they not making sure the farmer they're getting their milk from is following proper sanitary procedures during the milking process? It can't be that they don't know the risks, they must just have a room temp IQ. Just sad kids have to pay the price
They didn't feed it to the baby. The baby got it from the mom who drank the raw milk. I mean also yeah these people are dumb AF, you basically have to be a moron to think drinking raw milk is a good idea.
People know the risk. They don't believe the risk.
Sometimes people's culture is shit and it needs to change.
