Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
I look around at the world today, and I think we've made it too safe. We need more Darwinian selective pressure. I think anyone over 18 can have raw milk and raw milk products, clearly labelled. Govern it like alcohol and let selection take its course.
They'll still give it to their children.
Then educate them in a way they're going to actually learn from. Punishment is not always an effective teaching method. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but basically all the problems in the world boil down to these two choices: Control people so they are forced to make the decision you want, or educate them so they understand why they need to be making the decision you want. I think for obvious reason the latter should always be preferred, and it is something we can always try harder to do, and we need to keep trying even when it is hard, and even when the outcome isn't ideal.
Fuck that, this guy is a criminal, he knows exactly what he's doing, lying to people so they buy rancid milk from him. This isn't an education problem, this is letting a criminal run rampant problem.
People aren't wrong if they want raw milk, the victims here are being defrauded and poisoned.
I can't judge that from here, but I'm not referring to educating the guy in question, I'm referring to educating the parents and the children about the risks they are taking with raw milk, and the benefits they may or may not actually receive. I get where you're coming from and I agree, but I was specifically responding to the implication by the comment I was replying to that presumably is asserting something to the effect of: "if we don't ban raw milk sales, people will still give to their (innocent) children" and I think that's a valid concern. Because of people like this. He is ruining it for everyone.
Yes this guy is ruining it for everyone, but i guess the answer is to make sure people who sell raw milk aren't selling bad raw milk. Maybe the customers just like the taste of it, who cares?
Even if it's like alcohol, banning alcohol didn't help anything, but making sure sellers follow safety regulations helps a lot.
