At that point you might as well pasteurise the milk yourself lol.
Back in CA, the "raw water" bazingas were especially wild. They took the "raw milk" thing and somehow made it worse.
It came in these silly glass orbs too. Silicon Valley are wild.
Even worse than the raw water bazingas are the alkaline water bazingas. They process their water to be slightly alkaline for "health benefits". As if that would even survive interacting with stomach acid or have any measureable effect on acidity in the body. It also tastes terrible too.
How much alkaline water would equal taking a tums or two?
Most common antacids have a pH around 10, and for water to be alkaline it needs to have a pH between 8 and 9, so I guess you'd need 10 to 20 times more alkaline water than antacids for the same effect, as the ph scale increases at a tenfold level.
raw water
I sure love dysentery! New weightloss hack!
Giardia? What's that?
I'm pretty sure it's a Pokémon.
The worst thing these raw milk cranks have ever done is make me agree with a Matt Walsh take
I hate all of these movements that are tearing down historic gains in public health. Raw milk, raw water, anti-vaxxers. Fucking loser assholes. They just don't have any conception at all of how much death and misery they've never experienced because of public health regulations.
The anti-vax stuff really pisses me off, especially when it's spouted by people born before 1960. Polio killed so many children and crippled the ones it didn't. And practically overnight, we developed a miracle cure in the form of the polio vaccine. Completely eradicated in North America when it used to kill thousands each year. There are people alive right now who can remember losing classmates in grade school to polio.
Then you get into stuff like whooping cough. Basically unheard of for fifty years because of vaccines. Now it's come back and people are finding out it's fucking terrifying to die by coughing up your lungs.

I feel the exact same way and I despair when I watch centuries of hard-won improvements in societal health being dismantled and dissolved because of dipshits "doing the research" themselves and finding whatever bullshit fits what they want to believe.
it worries me that ill accidentally buy this shit without realizing its not normal milk and get sick
He went too deep undercover. Now he's trapped in the Lib Psyche.
I know it isn't, but, that looks like a fake beard
He put a fake beard on top of his real beard
... you're kidding right?
Edit: yeh, his actual beard does have that plasticky look to it
"Raw milk tastes SO much better, man! That's all we're going to drink once we move out to our new acreage."
I hate Homesteaders. Just absolute dad from The VVitch types
"First world civilized"
Pretty sure these sorts of people are also against water fluoridation as well as vaccines
From what I understand, the only time raw milk makes sense is for making cheese
Hey America how’s that bird flu prevention going?
Consuming raw milk when you're buying it from a small/peasant farmer that doesn't do much to their cows is one thing. Buying it from factory farms or any large scale operation is another thing entirely.
Additionally raw milk is actually really helpful for people trying to make cultures. My aunt and uncle used to make keffir and they had way better results with raw milk than pasturized. In their case the fermentation was actually a way of sanitizing the food of harmful bacteria.
It should be noted that even pasteurized milk can still be unhealthy and cause various health issues, for best results consider

This is how you get listeria.
I thought that was from eating the lunch meat they have at Kroger
Why are we fetishizing small farms? We are communists. You will work in the sovkhoz and you will like it.

Pasteurization was invented in the 1860s and they felt like they needed it then.
Edit: Wikipedia says 1886 is when it was first suggested to pasteurize milk. So close enough.
The 1870s-1900s was probably the least safe time in the US to consume anything.
FUCK
Pasturization is woke hippie commie regulation shit Matt. This is what caused the sissification of men! Return to tradition and suck it right from the teet. /S
People buy this shit? There are remote farmers in my department who will drink it and the communities they live in tend to have high mortality and sickness rates. Definitely not something you want to drink if you can avoid it.
What’s supposed to be the appeal?
It's the idea that if something is "natural" it is therefore good. Of course, if these pseudo-hippies actually cared about "natural" stuff then they wouldn't be drinking milk in the first place.
It’s playing Russian roulette with your gut. Sure you arbitrarily think you are feeling better for now but people are guaranteed to get maimed for life with IBD amongst other things. Milk is revolting when you read what’s in it.
The only raw anything consumers i support are people who oppose derriving any benefit from the actions of the french
