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.
For the non raw milk drinkers there’s the raw water grift
Mmm! Straight from the river and loaded with
parasitesnurtrients!Drinking water out of the nuke puddle in megaton to own the libs. The rawest water of all
The radiation sterilizes it, so sadly it’s not raw.
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. 
/SI’ve read the best addendum to this too
“Raw milk isn’t that big a deal, you just gotta boil it first!”
At that point you might as well pasteurise the milk yourself lol.
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.
You mean unpasteurized milk or milk in general?
I think people should just stick to cheese and yoghurt.
I mean milk. It’s weird.
Yeah. It’s so weird. As a kid me and my brother used to have milk with dinner lmfao 🤮
No idea what was wrong with us. Won’t touch it now
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.
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.raw water
I sure love dysentery! New weightloss hack!
Giardia? What’s that?
I’m pretty sure it’s a Pokémon.
That’s Gardevoir, “Giardia” is actually an airport in New York City
Then there’s Garuda which is the the national airline of Indonesia, which is named after Hindu’s Lord Vishnu’s bird mount, which Indonesia is making into a major monument like the Statue of Liberty.
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.
Would that even work? Intuitively (I dont remember anything about chem) I would guess that you could take a portion of a tums to get the same effect as alkaline water, but wouldn’t be able to achieve the opposite. If you drank an enormous amount of alkaline water such that your stomach acid volume is negligible then the ph of the solution would just be the alkaline water ph, right?
Yeah you’re probably right. It’s just another reason this whole alkaline water thing makes no sense, on top of the fact that your body strictly regulates the pH levels of your blood.
Until your blood is brown 🤎
Edit: if they’re drinking “raw water” it’s coming from a well which would do that. Methemoglobinemia to own the left
“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
i have some fucked up milk addiction where I get straight up cravings for that shit, it’s like a special sort of hunger that is only satisfied by milk (nobody needs to tell me about caseomorphins btw, I already know), and it’s wild hearing these raw milk weirdos talk about the taste. it already tastes good! it’s like they’re not happy without the milk equivalent of shooting fentanyl into their balls
it worries me that ill accidentally buy this shit without realizing its not normal milk and get sick
those aren’t even raw milks. at least the 3 on the right side aren’t
Pretty sure these sorts of people are also against water fluoridation as well as vaccines
Raw sex = Good.
Monday Night Raw = The Best.
Raw Food =
The only raw food I want that isn’t fruits and veggies and nuts and… stuff that’s supposed to be cooked, is sushi.
even nuts and veggies are often better tasting roasted
True! But they don’t always need to be—meat stuff usually does. The only raw meat I’ll eat is fish stuff!
But roasted nutz and veggies are DOPE, you’re not wrong!
- The worst thing these raw milk cranks have ever done is make me agree with a Matt Walsh take
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
I’m kidding, I don’t think he actually did that. But it’s funnier to believe he did.
It looks like Steve Carell wearing a fake beard
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
Cow milk is for baby cows, period.
Why are we fetishizing small farms? We are communists. You will work in the sovkhoz and you will like it.

This is how you get listeria.
I thought that was from eating the lunch meat they have at Kroger
Im not saying that raw milk is better for you. Im just saying that the conditions of the cows vary wildly depending on situation. Like, even if you think raw milk could be ok to drink a super market is realllly not the place to find 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.
In their case the fermentation was actually a way of sanitizing the food of harmful bacteria.
Wait until you hear about pasteurization. If you’re making kefir you’re making kefir, if you’re sanitizing food there’s easier ways
The point I was making is just that its safe if you ferment it, and that it makes better cultures than pasturized milk
Milk made sense when we were nomads traveling across vast savannah and it was a nutrient source with lots of calories that was made with things we couldn’t digest and could even walk by itself, but those days are long gone and almond/soy juice tastes better anyway.
