Big year for Tuberculosis

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

I drank milk from the tank and cream is the best. However, I still prefer pasteurized milk. If the MAGAts want to drink raw milk, let them and watch the green apple splatter flow.

[-] roofTophopper@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

You know what, just let it happen. I'll just do my best to stay away from any milk for four years. We'll see how things turn out afterwards.

[-] Chivera@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Let them drink raw milk

Regulators Say It’s Dangerous.

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

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Because they won't exist.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 points 11 hours ago

Go Darwin! Go!

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??

[-] rivan@lemm.ee 4 points 4 hours ago

You haven't heard? AI is going to automatically deny all those claims, problem solved.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

They don’t pay out the bills lol. I imagine they’ll work on dismantling the ACA/“Obamacare.” Insurance will cover nothing.

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Maybe if this takes off raw milk will show up on health questionnaires or be in the fine print as a pre existing condition

[-] Baggie@lemmy.zip 3 points 12 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 30 points 23 hours ago

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

That's not how diseases work.

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

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

[-] lgmjon64@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

What you said is horrible and you should feel horrible.

But your willing to sacrifice children's lives for your own political goals is noted. Israel does something similar.

[-] Cargon@lemmy.ml 11 points 22 hours ago

I don't give a fuck about their kids.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 18 points 22 hours ago

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

[-] freddydunningkruger@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

Especially the ones raised on raw milk.

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

No one is worried they are gonna turn out republican. This next generation is going to turn out nazi.

[-] Cargon@lemmy.ml 1 points 14 hours ago

Yeah but they might

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 13 points 23 hours ago

Welp time to switch to 100% oat milk

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.

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

lifelong disability and functional dependency.

Poor family from medical bills, more easily manipulated into voting GOP. 3 votes secured!

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 148 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 42 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!

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.

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.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. 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

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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!
