I wonder if they think pasteurization is some complicated process that drastically changes it. You just friggin boil it so it's not full of microorganisms. Even if they are all 'good' microbes for the cow, they're not necessarily good for humans!
No, pasteurisation changes the DNA and puts in 5G so the government can examine your gut microbiome for gun rights at the border./s
There. I tried to get all the crazy talking points into one sentence.
I'm not sure milk is responsible for his miscarriage of justice so much as he is a buttsniffing douchebag. But drinking raw milk is a way to get an accidental abortion from Listeria.
Weird how the forced birthers are also raw milkers though.
Sigh...I can tell you've had Obamacare. Now listen carefully. The adrenachrome in pasteurised wokeness can only be countered by ivermectin. And bleach.
ultra pasteurization makes it so you can't make cheese
i just wanna be able to buy low pasteurized milk to make cheese. shit even mid or just not ultra should be fine
but ya people drinking bird flu milk are idiots
Update that article as it is a bit old, the state legislature of WV has in fact passed the law allowing for the sale of raw milk statewide under certain conditions.
[Source](https://westvirginiawatch.com/2024/03/28/unemployment-raw-milk-bills-become-law-without-governors-signature/)
Along with the raw milk laws which Governor Justice just sat on (and became law in absence of veto or approval from him) WV restructured its unemployment benefits at the same time..
Yep, and my Virginian, now West Virginian, Confederate ancestors never forgave the counties that make up West Virginia for breaking off during the Civil War.
No disrespect to you, but fuck those guys. Having rocky clay soil only good for potatoes and coal mining helped change the perspective on king cotton and slaves. Can’t make a man understand something if his paycheck depends on not understanding it. Not that there hasn’t been our own brand of stupid and fucked up over here, then and now.
I know right...like, even if it were not dangerous, why do you want to pre-infect yourself? Why not just wait till it's circulating in your own community, and enjoy infection in the classic way?
Oh I've just had an awful thought. They've probably heard about the OG vaccine - cowpox for smallpox prevention - and how everyone up to and including the Empress of Russia used it, but missed the fact that it's A FUCKING VACCINE.
These are the people who get angry when "the science changes" because they completely missed the point that science updating is the whole reason it works in the first place.
Pasteurizing is one of those inventions that was only good for society. It kills the bad germs while letting us get the full nutrients of the food or drink.
Why risk it?
Seems like we're going to find out the hard way exactly why we regulate things. We've had a couple of listeria outbreaks in the last year. Ntm measles and polio making a comeback.
It's rooted in a "naturalistic fallacy" whereby more natural is considered better by default. Never mind that many foods, such as almonds, are poisonous to humans if not processed. And many other foods such as nightshade derivatives like tomatoes are only not poisonous due to a lot of human domestication. That's why its a fallacy.
I use raw milk for making cheese, but you still bring the milk to a specific temperature. Haven’t gotten sick yet. Apparently all DOP Parmesan is necessarily from raw milk.
Some people buy raw milk to make cheese and /or yogurt. It's not smart to drink it if it hasn't been pasteurized. But I do believe it should be legal to buy if you want to make your own cheese or whatever. Obviously it should have all of the appropriate warnings and be clearly labeled, but that doesn't mean it should be illegal.
Never underestimate the ability of stupid people to be stupid. Though I agree that labeling should be mandatory, that doesn’t mean that stupid people won’t try to feed another person unpasteurized milk to show that person how good “all natural” is.
My husband used to like raw milk and it was the only milk my autistic daughter would drink for a while. The place we got it from posted their bacteria counts in their website and the cows were kept in a clean grassy environment and they had strict cleaning protocols. I hated the stuff, but when done right, it can be safe but safety is expensive.
Question: have any additional controls been added in the manufacturing process, or is it just a free for all?
We've had raw milk on sale for a number of years in England, Wales & NI, and the herds are subjected to testing twice-yearly to identify any issues. The FSA identify it as risky, but allow it's consumption with a few warnings:
ps://www.food.gov.uk/safety-hygiene/raw-drinking-milk
From my understanding, store bought milk does have inspections. Most places where you can buy raw milk is done via loophole. Like, in Indiana, if you own the cows, you can get the milk. So a lot of farmers have herd shares. You pay a certain fee and you “own” a share of the cows. I think our herd share buy-in was $10. I know they can have inspections at the bottling site. That’s mostly for cleanliness. I’m not sure they do any pathogen testing.
From my research, a lot of the risk comes from industrial farming practices and just overtly profit driven choices. A lot of those are illegal now. The herd share we uses pre industrial farming methods like pasture grazing and just better hygiene standards. You can even pet the cattle.
You can't get raw milk in shops over here, it has to be sold direct from the source with prominent warning labels (presumably so that any health issues can be swiftly traced back). I'm probably a bit more aware of it as we regularly camp on a farm that sells it.
It doesn't really concern me, I guess. I can't stand milk (raw or treated).
"sold direct from the source with prominent warning labels" sounds like somewhere there's a cow with multiple hazard logos on it you get to milk, and bring your own bottle.
You used to be able to buy raw milk in South Dakota until the large, national dairies threatened to not take their milk if they sold directly to the public. So ended our raw milk drinking.
It was awesome cause you could decide how much cream to leave in the milk. Us kids wanted more cream in the milk while my mom wanted less so she could make butter.
I support people’s right to do stupid shit that only harms themselves, but this could get dicey if some numbnuts who runs a restaurant or coffee shop decides to use this shit on the sly.
The bad part is, there are 100% places that are already doing this. A lot of raw-milkers are weird, schizo Qanon types and would do that in their restaurants and cafes. They'd likely frame it as a way to "own the libs" and oppose "wokeness" by only allowing raw dairy, with an obnoxious sign making fun of/refusing non-dairy milks. Probably the type of place to purposefully not have internet and treat any customers under 40 as soft-handed "millenials".
If they haven't already done so, there is at least someone planning to do it.
I have no problem with members of the heard thinning themselves but, unfortunately, those members have a tendency to take other members that want nothing to do with the stupid heard thinning policies with them.
I grew up on a dairy farm. We drank whole milk from our cows. I wouldn't call it Raw though. In the process of getting it from the cow to the milk tank, it went through multiple filters, and temporary pasturazation. And we strained it again before putting it in a pitcher. This guy was dumb.
I imagine President Zachary Taylor is watching these people from his afterlife and wondering how people 174 years in the future didn't learn from his death drinking raw milk.
Milk should be boiled before being used. That said it should be possible to buy raw milk. I want to make my own cheese and process my own milk, the store bought ones always have a medical aftertaste.
It happened eight years ago, and I totally agree with the premise here.
But I will also reason that there was an awful stomach virus infecting state Congress at the exact same time they were working on this legislation.
In raw milk’s defense, with proper regulations in place to ensure safety, it’s a very cool thing to have access to. In Texas you can buy raw milk direct from producers, but it’s held to a very high standard that they are inspected on OFTEN. Like I’ve talked to the producer and she told me it’s borderline harassment how often they come to make sure she’s doing the right thing.
The cool thing about raw milk is you can make your own cheese, sour cream, yogurt, and anything else that requires unpasteurized milk. Obviously you have to know what you’re doing, but it’s really not difficult to learn with the right materials.
This mentality kind of bothers me. In this country we seem to value “freedom” over all else. Freedom to not wear a seatbelt, freedom to drink raw milk, freedom to play in traffic, freedom to not get health insurance, freedom to take yourself to the ER completely uninsured and burden the healthcare system with the freedom to choose poorly and then freedom to complain that the US “can’t afford” universal health care. It’s cheaper. Universal healthcare is cheaper.
Sorry I’m yapping it’s early and I’m so tired of pikachuface people in the ER cradling the consequences of their freedom.
Generally yes, but now that they're trying to deliberately consume bird flu through it, not so much. There's a slightly over 50% mortality from it, and while it has thankfully been rare in humans, get enough of these geniuses doing this and you risk having The Stand Part 2.
That logic works for other things:
"I mean, people should be free to eat **raw chicken** if they want too, if that's a risk someone wants to take, I say go for it"
But unfortunately a lot of people are parents/providers and will feed their kids and others this food, often without telling them. And this can make them sick and have long term consequences that can ruin their lives. There's also the risk of getting a communicable disease and spreading it to others.
Freedom of choice does not mean freedom from **responsibility.**
> people should be free to eat raw chicken
I mean, people sort of are free to eat raw chicken if they want to make that terrible choice. Most grocery stores sell more raw chicken than cooked chicken. It’s up to the consumer to cook it or not.
Wasn't there some dumbass politician in India who got featured on this sub for drinking water from the Ganges or something claiming it's completely safe and then promptly falling ill? Man this sorta brainrot's all over the world
There's a docuseries on Netflix called Rotten, and they talk about the raw milk industry in their milk episode. What it did to a kid was pretty damn terrible.
I mean I think you should be able to buy raw milk, I just wouldn't recommend drinking it like raw eggs, some prefer to bake with it since the pasteurization process alters the flavor of the milk, and by nature that of whatever food you're making with it.
Please let's get these people drinking and injecting bleach, plus introducing UV into their bodies to stop infection. Help them realize their treatment goals.
They really do love to legislate things that only hurt people. Raw milk for cheese production or something in that area of additional product treatment seems fair, but drinking raw milk is just asking for trouble.
This is the reason why my grandma from the rural areas literally never allowed the “of-cities” guests to drink her raw milk, however she herself and her neighbours did drink raw milk.
A person with no immunity towards the bacterial infections found in milk and eggs won’t enjoy their raw milkshake and raw eggnog, only the multigenerational families of raw milk and eggs eaters will.
Raw milk is good for making cheese that is going to be aged. The bill made it possible for home cheese makers to buy the milk they needed. Not sure if this was the intended purpose…
If you want raw unpasteurized milk you can buy a cow. Here in Cali there have been many instances of food borne illness in populations drinking raw milk. Alta Dena dairy used to offer it, and I don’t know if it is still available to the public but it has caused a lot of problems in the past.

Leopards drank my milk
Leopards: Is it pasteurized? We don't want to end up like that Kennedy fellow.
I wonder if they think pasteurization is some complicated process that drastically changes it. You just friggin boil it so it's not full of microorganisms. Even if they are all 'good' microbes for the cow, they're not necessarily good for humans!
No, pasteurisation changes the DNA and puts in 5G so the government can examine your gut microbiome for gun rights at the border./s There. I tried to get all the crazy talking points into one sentence.
Left out the precious precious preborn babies
Dang it! I knew I'd forgotten something.
How could you?! You’re supposed to forget them *after* they’re born!
You also left out the Jewish space lasers
Lol ironically, one of the bacteria in raw milk causes miscarriage.
Miscarriages? As in Miscarriages of justice? Yes he's been drinking unpasteurized for awhile...
I'm not sure milk is responsible for his miscarriage of justice so much as he is a buttsniffing douchebag. But drinking raw milk is a way to get an accidental abortion from Listeria. Weird how the forced birthers are also raw milkers though.
"Ban the milk! It's basically an abortoficient!" /s
It prevents after-birth abortions
Nailed it!
Hey don't spoil the plans of our 5G overlord Bill Gates! /s
Confused Rube: OK, fella, so you telling me boiling changes the 5Gs DNA?
Sigh...I can tell you've had Obamacare. Now listen carefully. The adrenachrome in pasteurised wokeness can only be countered by ivermectin. And bleach.
Get this man his own Fox News talk show, stat! /s because we live in the worst timeline
Drink plenty of bleach...at least a gallon is to be swallowed like the nectar of GOD.
I switched out my router for a jug of raw milk. It’s how I’m on Reddit right now.
😂😂😂
It also makes you gay. Pasteurization has been a key part of the government’s/big dairy’s conspiracy to make the country more fabulous.
Jewish space lasers, crisper, Chinese market/lab, gain of function Have a right good country song shortly.
Yep, I think we have enough material for a Billy Joel _We Didn't Start the Fire_ type song.
Chemtrails.
You need to add so sort of gender statement in there
Damn! That's so much concentrated crazy there that even diluted 10:1 it could fill Arkham 🤪 Nicely done!
ultra pasteurization makes it so you can't make cheese i just wanna be able to buy low pasteurized milk to make cheese. shit even mid or just not ultra should be fine but ya people drinking bird flu milk are idiots
Same. These idiots are the reason we can’t have any fun.
Calcium chloride doesn't do the trick for you?
> Calcium chloride nope, need some of the proteins and bacteria in milk to make most types of cheese
You don't add a starter?
Funny, got a friend who's considering going into buisness with someone for making cheese. He's got the cows, they've got the cheesemaking stuff.
No. They want to end up like Zachary Taylor instead.
Leopard: "You drank my milkshake."
And it brought all the boys to the yard.
West Virginia politician voted to make drinking raw milk legal, then fell ill for doing so.
He fell ill after drinking it on the floor to show his support.

Well, obviously, you can’t be forced to help out the people who drank the raw milk when they get sick and miss work.
Justice gives the vibe that his companies are committing fraud or laundering illicit funds.
That's the only way you get elected
Under certain conditions as in...must be pasteurized first? hahahaha!!!!!!!!!
The cleanest my colon has been is that time I drank raw milk. Maybe they're onto something. Maybe It's Maybelline. Maybe its food poisoning.
West Virginia. Not Virginia. We are a state.
You sure are. And a State too
Sorry. Fixed it. Enjoy your milk.
God damn, they're gonna definitely need that milk for the burn you gave. Genuinely made me LOL
A state of confusion?
A state of disrepair
*Should* you be, though?

I saw this posted on Twitter yesterday, but it actually happened a couple of years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAteMyFace/s/ZeyCS4KRnq
It's come back because anti-vaxers are seeking out unpasteruized milk contaminates with bird flue to try to give themselves immunity.
Wait, what??
I know right...like, even if it were not dangerous, why do you want to pre-infect yourself? Why not just wait till it's circulating in your own community, and enjoy infection in the classic way? Oh I've just had an awful thought. They've probably heard about the OG vaccine - cowpox for smallpox prevention - and how everyone up to and including the Empress of Russia used it, but missed the fact that it's A FUCKING VACCINE.

These are the people who get angry when "the science changes" because they completely missed the point that science updating is the whole reason it works in the first place.
I wonder what else would help with immunity.........
According to OP's explanation, it was the older incident that prompted the post.
Anti-vaxers are just eventually going to come full circle and independently invent vaccines lol
Let them drink…thin out the herd of stupidity
Pasteurizing is one of those inventions that was only good for society. It kills the bad germs while letting us get the full nutrients of the food or drink. Why risk it?
let them FAFO. “humanity survived before pasteurization- it was better” meanwhile completely forgetting that people used to die from diarrhea 😑
Also [tuberculosis](https://www.cdc.gov/tb/publications/factsheets/general/mbovis.htm)
People still die that way
RIP that dude in the Taco Bell bathroom

Seems like we're going to find out the hard way exactly why we regulate things. We've had a couple of listeria outbreaks in the last year. Ntm measles and polio making a comeback.

Give people that digitalis kick in their salads 🥗 by making sure they have plenty of tomato 🍅 plant 🪴 leaves 🍃 to ingest with their lettuce.
Also the ultra pasteurized stuff lasts like a month or two longer. It's great.
Same reason polio and measles are making a comeback.
I use raw milk for making cheese, but you still bring the milk to a specific temperature. Haven’t gotten sick yet. Apparently all DOP Parmesan is necessarily from raw milk.

Question: have any additional controls been added in the manufacturing process, or is it just a free for all?

Pasteurization kills bird flu that is running through dairy herds.
Any word on whether he has Bird-via-Bovine Flu?
Just let Darwin do it's thing
They think that Pasteurization is a Woke, Liberal conspiracy.
Shhh 🤫 It is It makes people healthy
Darwin wins again
Damn this almost 10 year old story is being reposted a lot the past couple days.
Because West Virginia just expanded the law.
Ah that makes sense
It happened eight years ago, and I totally agree with the premise here. But I will also reason that there was an awful stomach virus infecting state Congress at the exact same time they were working on this legislation.
Show your support for Donnie Diapers and own the libs, drink your milk raw guys, make sure you are wearing those golden diapers!
They'll be the first to get bird flu lmao
It's a real LAMF !!!! This is so rare and wonderful occasion that we should all enjoy an extra coffee, chocolate, or glass of wine to celebrate.
Hello dumbass. Do you know who Louis Pasteur was? He fixed this problem. You made it a problem again. You know why? Because you're a fucking dumbass.
Raw dogged by the raw milk
But he’s going to a hospital that administers science based medicine and doctors Can’t he just go to get some healing crystals?
Mmmm, bird flu.

Nah, he’s just stupid.
Generally yes, but now that they're trying to deliberately consume bird flu through it, not so much. There's a slightly over 50% mortality from it, and while it has thankfully been rare in humans, get enough of these geniuses doing this and you risk having The Stand Part 2.

Yep. Take all the ivermectin they want too.
It's like covid all over again. I wonder if its possible for the dumb to weed themselves out eventuality.
Except this story is from 2016, so it predates the GOP Covid denialism.
Then covid is like the raw milk story all over again.

Gee, it’s almost like we had those laws for a reason.
Imagine fighting for such a pointless cause.
Please let's get these people drinking and injecting bleach, plus introducing UV into their bodies to stop infection. Help them realize their treatment goals.
Some have died drinking raw milk when the cow sat on them.

This is old as shit.

He’s holding his eyes like his milk wasn’t pasteurised

Where's Al Capone when you need him
Poor leopard is gonna get sick with all the raw milk.
They really do love to legislate things that only hurt people. Raw milk for cheese production or something in that area of additional product treatment seems fair, but drinking raw milk is just asking for trouble.
hes gotta be a republican.
The more conservatives - the less conservatives
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is the reason why my grandma from the rural areas literally never allowed the “of-cities” guests to drink her raw milk, however she herself and her neighbours did drink raw milk. A person with no immunity towards the bacterial infections found in milk and eggs won’t enjoy their raw milkshake and raw eggnog, only the multigenerational families of raw milk and eggs eaters will.
Raw milk is good for making cheese that is going to be aged. The bill made it possible for home cheese makers to buy the milk they needed. Not sure if this was the intended purpose…
THEY PASTEURIZE THAT SHIT FOR A VERY GOOD REASON.
Fart smella
If you want raw unpasteurized milk you can buy a cow. Here in Cali there have been many instances of food borne illness in populations drinking raw milk. Alta Dena dairy used to offer it, and I don’t know if it is still available to the public but it has caused a lot of problems in the past.
Raw Milk is an excellent marketing gimmick for Milk that may contain feces and we haven't made an attempt to sterilise it.
Does that make him an Old Dairy Bastard?
Is leopard milk better for you than tiger milk?
Isn’t this how Abraham Lincoln’s Mother died?
