Raw milk is delicious. You should give it a try.

Wash down your Ivermectin with bleach.

My super hippy/lefty mom has been drinking and praising raw milk for ages. I have tried to explain to her why it's a bad fucking idea so many goddamn times.

Some people just get this worm in their brain (heh) that makes them think it's automatically better just because it's "natural" or "raw".

Hopefully any disease will spread quickly and be foodborne. Then only those foolish enough to drink cow shit filled milk will get sick and Darwin themselves out of the voting pool.

Shit. Patient zero for the next big pandemic's gonna be American isn't it?

Bird flu is already on the rise, we just haven't seen human to human transmission yet (last I heard).

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

Can't see human to human transmission when it's illegal to report on it.

DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT!

Kill yourselves! I also recommend sky diving without a parachute and hitting yourself in the head with a hammer.

People are also killing their cats with raw milk. Some of it has contained bird flu, which cats are very susceptible to.

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 4 points 22 hours ago

Adult cats are also lactose intolerant.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The funniest thing is some influencers are recommending people boil their raw milk before drinking it...

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

Hahahaha that's rich

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is one of those self solving problems. I just hope they put "RAW MILK" in huge orange letters on every jug so I don't drink any by accident.

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Aside from food poisoning, this has the potential to spread communicable diseases, so it's everyone's problem

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Aw that sucks. I don't really know much about it. I only know that raw milk is stupid.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca -2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I wouldn’t even risk it with pasteurized milk. Diseases are caused by unsanitary environments where the animals are huddled up together in a dirty warehouse.

Plant-based milk all the way.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You do understand the process of pasteurization, yes?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

That doesn’t clean out the pus and the blood.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago

And you do understand the long and careful process of declaring a milk lot as safe for processing, yes?

[–] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i remember there was an "award" in covid years for not taking the vax. rfk awards coming soon.

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

yes. that's the one!

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I like that they do this to their own ppl, trump fr tells his own followers to drink bleach, not get vaccinated (sadly fucks over everyone, not just them)

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

what if they're secretly good, get all the dumb evil mfs to vote for them and worship them, then have them drink raw milk and take them out

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe he can pull a Jonestown and ask them to drink poison kool-aid. Really do us a favor. No instead they do this were they can catch bird flu that in turn can mutate and affect us all.

How long until RKJ outlaws anything but raw milk?

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

this mf was blending live chicks and mice to feed his hawk so I doubt hes actually good lol
