    It’s all milky fun and games with a side of creamy fat until someone gets a case of brucellosis.

      I’m kinda ashamed of this, but I used to prefer the raw milk from a local dairy farm because it comes with all the fat and cream(you have to shake it before drinking) and it tasted soo freaking good. They vaccinate their cows and only have about 8 of them.
      However, I will not be buying that anymore and go back to buying pasteurized all the time. The taste isn’t worth risking h5n1. I know it’s a pretty stupid thing to do since other illnesses can happen from raw milk, but I guess it’s better late than never to stop doing that

        Dude, you were taking a calculated risk before, and the calculations have changed. Good on you for adapting to this very real threat to our collective well-being.

          Thanks for saying this, I hadn’t thought about it that way. I still feel foolish for taking any risk in the first place, but h5n1 is just messed up levels of scary.

        Yeah you can totally get unhomogenized milk that is pasteurized. They sell one brand at my local grocery store. Look for some in your area.

        Edit: they would refer to it as cream top most likely.

          Thank you! I didn’t know that was available as a product and will keep my eye out for it. Probably just as good too

        As Melisdrawing made clear, never feel bad about using new information to make a better decision.

        Milk is gross. You are an adult human not a baby cow. What a great time to break a weird habit.
