Some people claim raw milk cheeses are superior. I can’t tell the difference personally.

Who knew microbiology was so hard?

Hah, consequences. Interestingly, raw milk is legal here, but its regulated - like many other risky things, so as to protect consumers.

See, this is what happens when you spend more money on military than on education...

Huh... it's almost like regulations exist for a reason or something...

Oof. I had raw milk once as a kid. Farmer gave us some while hiking in the Alps. I was SO sick. Never again.

We don't realize how lucky we are today that we really don't have to worry about our food killing us. Our ancestors were not so lucky.

Honestly, raw milk isn't something that should kill us provided the animal is healthy. But for countries used to pasteurization, it's a

hard transition, plus, corporate farms don't always produce the healthiest of animals.

Drinking unpasteurized milk can make your TB test (bubble under skin) come back positive, even if you don’t have TB.
TerribleDawn
That's because it can contain M. bovis. It can cause zoonotic TB in humans. Raw milk is not safe.
FrogOrCat
Fresh from the farm raw milk tastes so much better. Makes amazing yogurt and cheese too.

Doesnt this happen in a comedy show, they legalize it and everyone gets sick.

I mean... don't buy raw milk? It's pretty great if you get it same day from the animal, or if you accept the risk. Also for making cheese

raw milk is like river water. it contains varying microbes that can make you ill if you aren't used to them. If you have a cow or 3 and get1
prodmerc
Never had a problem, but it spoils really fast, I wouldn't buy it older than a day or two at most
ZebraCockSandwich
yeah thats an annoying issue. pasteurized milk lasts quite a long time.
ZebraCockSandwich
the same milk from the same cows on a regular basis, you will get used to the microbes just like other countries drinking water. buying raw2

milk from a factory, where its probably 15+ cows milk mixed together, is not a good plan for drinking, as you will never grow used to the 3

HEY ! CHEESE MADE FROM UNPASTURIZED MILK IS GREAT ! FIGHT ME YOU PLASTIC EATING DEGENERATES !!!
Spidey209
OMG I love plastic cheez! I hate myself.
NewToTheEnterwbs
At all. This became a law because women were having miscarriages from the unpasteurized milk. They are def a pro death group.
Sonicschilidogs
Hey, this is actually a good thing right!?! Now there's an all natural abortion alternative! Pro-life guys, raw milk is God's work! S/
palmmute
I used to work in dairy. One problem is listeria, which causes newborn meningitis if the mother eats something with it, even Brie cheese
palmmute
And it's so easy to contaminate milk with it. Especially big farms where you're mixing the milk of many cows into 1 tanker. Farms are dirty
gloriousgabro9000
I drank raw milk exclusively for 19 years, since all food at home came from 'eco shops'. It's not dangerous.
palmmute
Anecdote =/= data. There are ways to mitigate risk but it is absolutely still dangerous, especially if you are a pregnant woman
FUKYU350
Farmers and other countries drink it all the time. You guys also can't manage to eat raw eggs. Only Americans that can't handle food.
Vooodooochild
Theyre is no arguing with people who bleach their chiken brother
exbenedict
I buy my eggs from a chicken farmer down the road from me. Fresh, unpasteurized, and delicious
Sonicschilidogs
The issue is that there is no way to confirm the cow is healthy I'd you aren't the one raising it. I grew up on a farm, had a dairy for a
Sonicschilidogs
Bit, and had raw milk, no problems, but I definitely wouldn't just buy some raw milk from a rando or from a grocery store or farmer's market
FUKYU350
Exactly. This isn't an advisement on my part for everyone to drink raw milk, it's to say don't mistake when and why pasteurising is required
AnonKneeMoose
Aint wrong tho. American eggs have their eggs treated which removes the natural protections.
FUKYU350
What's wrong is blaming unpasteurized milk, when you should be blaming poor animal health on capitalism.
mrwthisusernameisavailble
Don't understand why this is getting down voted. Only now is Stop & Shop pledging to have all cage free eggs by 2025.
OddlyPacific
I've been drinking raw milk for ten years with no issues. The cow has to be healthy, which is easy in Santa Barbara county.
kitnnicole9
You are exposed to bacteria, but you never know if there will be harmful ones present.
AnonKneeMoose
Local milk doesn’t have to travel miles in lukewarm vats between processing centres. Hence: Pasteurisation
Rip901
That's true for everything, you can be reasonably certain if you're buying from a local dairy farmer.
AZRAELSBLADE
Well well well it’s the consequences of my actions

I would love easier access to raw milk, for making cheese, not drinking like I'm a cat.
MosquitoHawker
Cheese is 100% better when raw. But seriously don’t put the same milk on your cereal.
prodmerc
Tastes great tho
BlastFX
Growing up, I spent a lot of time with my grandparents in a small village where a lot of people had cows. Fresh milk is something different.
Dxb105
Easy access to REGULATED raw milk. Fuck id drink the shit outta that if I knew it was high quality.
Komah311
Same!
LeSethX
Btw, raw milk is bad for cats also. They may like it, but they will have the shits afterwards.
vegivamp
That's not because it's raw, that's because they're not designed to eat that.
NaughtButOne
but think of all the extra vitamins you're missing out on from the added blood and pus.
MosquitoHawker
Don’t buy it from factory farms. Find someone that has pride in their product, like with *gestures vaguely* everything in life.
spookywhispering
Amish milk. Mmmm. I react bad to store milk but my body is fine on Amish farm milk. My sister would help their midwife.
NaughtButOne
mmm yes I do enjoy trusting in the invisible hand of the unregulated free market, it always works out so well.
MosquitoHawker
Well, our species exists so… worked pretty well for a few millennia. My point: individuals benefit from reputations. Factories dgaf.
dblaikie
Nice idea, but there's not such a clear line and fly by night individuals exist. Lots of regulation exists because both do bad things

If it's been milked, it's probably a very happy bull.

I don't even know what the fuck 'raw milk' even is. My grandparents had a dairy and I grew up on milk straight from the chilled vat and 1/2
AfterTheRainComesTheRainbow
a few times milked a quiet cow straight into a mug. Are American cows busted or something? Because I never got sick.
Lastdarkninja
Yes,but also your body probably got used to the microbes in the raw milk. Most people here have only had pasteurized and aren’t use to raw.
AfterTheRainComesTheRainbow
That's also likely yeah
Dasiana
American cows are, generally, quite busted
AfterTheRainComesTheRainbow
Poor cows :(
MeSoErnie
I'm all for legalizing unpasteurized milk, but it has to be done right. CAFOs are not conducive to healthy animals and healthful products.
ruferto
i thought they only were allowed to sell unpasteurized milk at the dairy farms... so like you have to go out of your way to get that stuff
lilbrother
That makes a lot of sense...They can sell it. You can buy it. You have to be close to the source & know what you're buying. Caveat Emptor
StillChasingFireflies
A lit of folks have small farms now or a backyard cow and no idea what they are doing. There needs to be safety standards and this law ain't
ruferto
that's true but if you're going out of your way to buy it, hopefully you'll know the risks
NaughtButOne
There's no middle ground. You can remove animal products from the average person's diet, or have high density farming. I'm perfectly okay >
NaughtButOne
>if people want to promote a largely animal-free diet, but the idea of ethical, humane, free range this-and-that is a fantasy.
