Regulators Say It’s Dangerous.

Not for long, they won't, because they won't be allowed to.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Because they won't exist.

[-] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 11 points 8 hours ago

Sorry but how the fuck are insurance companies OK with this? They hold extreme amounts of power over the US. They are going to have to do ridiculous amounts of payouts for hospital bills.

How the fuck are people's life saving surgeries getting denied at pre-approval, but they are not denying people's coverage for fucking drinking raw milk??

[-] Baggie@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

Same as every other money minded entity, if they speak out they'll be shouted down or destroyed. Ethics don't matter, number go up.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 28 points 13 hours ago

At least this time the disease will stay confined to the stupid.

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 32 points 15 hours ago

If they die they die. It's a risk I'm willing to take

[-] lgmjon64@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Except they're also giving it to their kids, who are far more susceptible to the diseases

[-] Cargon@lemmy.ml 9 points 12 hours ago

I don't give a fuck about their kids.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

Not all kids grown in a Republican household turn out to be Republicans.

[-] freddydunningkruger@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Especially the ones raised on raw milk.

[-] Cargon@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 hours ago

Yeah but they might

[-] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

And not all the Jews that died in the Holocaust were good people. What's your point?

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

Kids are innocent, regardless of how shitty the parents are.

[-] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

And the jews that also happened to be pedophiles deserved to be punished.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

Right, but what does that have to do with children drinking milk?

[-] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago

I mean… science says it’s dangerous. Reality says it’s dangerous. And soon, for many, entropy will remember that it was dangerous.

[-] iamjackflack@lemm.ee 10 points 13 hours ago

Welp time to switch to 100% oat milk

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Oat milk is great imo. Planet Oat extra creamy is the best available where I'm at.

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago

Depending on your patience, you can make your own for super cheap. It's roughly 100g oats to 1000g water, with 20-50g neutral oil, and a tiny bit of guar and xanthan gums. Blend the oats and water for a minute, strain, then add the gums and oil and blend again. Sweeten to taste. Maybe ten minutes max.

If you can get it easily, adding amylase enzymes (blend of alpha, beta and gamma works best) after blending, warming to around 140, let sit for 30 minutes and then raise to 180 for 5 will increase the sweetness and keep it from getting gloopy. You can get them pretty cheap from a brewing supply store. It's how they make commercial oat milk, and it's how they can say "no added sugar" and still have it be sweet.

[-] kablammy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

What does neutral oil mean? Just any vegetable oil like olive oil or canola oil etc?

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

An oil without a flavor. Olive oil is an example of a not neutral oil since it imparts a flavor to the dish.

Corn, vegetable, soybean, canola and peanut are good examples. No one would drizzle a little corn oil on a plate to dip bread in. :)

They also can tolerate higher temperatures, so you can use them in cooking a bit easier.

[-] Soulcreator@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

One that doesn't have a strong taste, canola yes, olive no.

[-] Methodical_Science@lemm.ee 12 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

This will almost certainly cause a rise in neonatal Listeria cases from maternal transmission...which even if the child survives, can leave them with lifelong disability and functional dependency. Through no fault of their own...just their parents.

[-] CallMeButtLove@lemmy.world 28 points 22 hours ago

Why do these fucking morons always want the objectively worst thing? The absolute dumbest thing you can think of and they're all for it. Why is the world like this now? I can't fucking stand it. "Let's get rid of the FDA and OSHA!" Like, what the fuck is this horse shit. This shouldn't be allowed to happen! I'm legitimately losing my sanity more and more each day.

[-] _____@lemm.ee 4 points 17 hours ago

it's because the government wants to fuck of us over duuude !! everything they say we should do opposite!! the government is a giant monolith and every human that works for them magically agrees to the same ideologies which force us to drink raw milk!! because they agreed pasteurized milk is good therefore it is bad !!

that's really all they think

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 137 points 1 day ago

Fun fact: nearly 40% of all foodborne illnesses were caused by raw milk consumption. Pasteurization has reduced that number down to less than 1%, except in places where raw milk consumption is still allowed.

[-] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

Been only buying organic milk for 10+ years now out of preference, it stays fresh for much longer than normal milk. This is because USDA Organic milk is ultra-pasteurized in almost the same way as shelf-stable milk.

I searched and found this article and they reported that there's virtually no difference in nutrients between the options:

So if all the nutrients are the same, the only difference in less pasteurization is more bacteria. Fuck that!

Let them. It'll make the election in 4 years a lot easier.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

You've already had your last election.

[-] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago
[-] cybersin@lemm.ee 4 points 15 hours ago

And when more parents start giving their kids raw milk, what then?

Forcing kids to eat dangerous food is child abuse.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 81 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Unfortunately it's not that simple. Avian flu and other viruses can potentially spread from cows to humans, where it's more likely to mutate and spread. It's never the risk-accepters that suffer most. It's always the sick, the poor, the very young and the very old, and the healthcare workers who suffer. The people who refused to get vaccines or take even basic precautions with COVID killed a lot of people, while the vast majority of those assholes survived.

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

Avian flu and other viruses can potentially spread from cows to humans, where it’s more likely to mutate and spread.

Every single person that contracts the HPAI H5N1 virus is a few billion chances for the virus to mutate and generate a strain that is able to spread from person to person. These people are throwing dice over and over and when they come up snake eyes, we are all going to lose.

[-] naeap@sopuli.xyz 8 points 18 hours ago

But then the fault is obviously DEI, because it made the birds gay or something...

They are going to harm their own children, too, which is the real tragedy here.

[-] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago

Can anyone explain to me why conservatives love raw milk so much? Is it like more profitable or something? Why the hell does this keep coming up?

[-] __nobodynowhere@lemm.ee 5 points 14 hours ago

It's the hip new way to feel rebellious and tell the government "you can't tell me what to do" while the government fucks them over and steals their future for a quick pay day.

It's a carefully orchestrated distraction.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 85 points 1 day ago

Science-denying anti-intellectualism mixed with "you can't tell me what to do!"

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
