    Raw milk can contain dangerous bacteria like salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, and others.

    Sounds yummy

      And that’s why I said as long as proper hygiene is being practised. This also includes separating the milk from sick cows.

      Also, to kind of prove my point: Every single farmer I know, that has cows, drinks the raw milk. Did they die or get sick? No. Does this mean that nobody will get sick? Also no.

        What’s the name of the cow you get your raw milk from?

        Do you get a veterinary report about her with every bottle of milk?

          I can name you at least 30 of them. How do I know? Because I live on their farm.

            Username checks out.

            Sadly the ‘factory farm’ dairy industry probably won’t follow the proper hygiene you’re referring to, and I’d imagine that the current administration would be more interested in reducing the regulations that would force proper hygiene than increase them.

              I can’t say anything about the hygienic standards for milk production in the US, but i absolutely agree with you, that under trump such laws will probably get weakened.

        This has to be the way to (possibly literally) die on a hill. There’s simply no downside to pasteurization. It effectively inactivates dangerous pathogens because, unless you have a cow in your back yard and can strictly adhere to your supposed “hygiene” protocols that magically negate the safe and reliable process of we’ve been using for well over a century… you know what, no. Your take is just ratfuck insane.

          Pasteurisation has one hell of a downside. The taste. Raw milk tastes much better than pasteurized Milk. That’s at least my opinion.
