    If only there was long held scientific understanding of the health risks of raw milk, and the benefits of pasteurization. What a wonderful world that would be.

      I mean it only comes out of the warm teet of a barnyard animal, what’s the worst that could happen?

      Why bother sterilizing the milk before you drink it? In fact, I’ve heard raw milk doesn’t even need to be refrigerated because of all the beneficial bacteria it’s got (hard /S, btw)

      You know what’s strange, though? My 7th grade science teacher used to preach to the class about how he and his wife were getting into drinking raw milk and how it’s supposedly so much better for you. So… if that’s any indication what kind of county I grew up in…

      That was back in the late aughts when dubya was still in office, too. So it’s not like it was just a case of the RFK jr. brainworm…

        Yeah, the stupid people have always been here- the difference today is they wear it like a badge of honor rather than bite their tongue.

          And that enough other stupid shitheads can put them in power when a couple billionaires decide it will help their number go up.
