    As always with these headlines, it’s best to not fall for extremes and rage bait. Not all milk has to be homogenized. And if the supply is near, as in you can buy it from a small farm that has cows grazing, raw is fine.

    Europe had this figured out forever. Not sure why you need brain worm guy to lay the smack down on stupid rules in North America.

      What’s the point though? Just heat it up a bit and it’s safe. The only argument for why you shouldn’t do that is conspiracy nonsense.

        Where? From a bad source? Of course.

        Again, I was drinking raw milk in European countryside all the time growing up.

        Figure out inspections and local distribution, like they have them in vending machines in small towns. And then go from there.

          Yeah, that isn’t going to work in the States. Milk production here is big business. Just like all other industries, they are going to the cheapest route possible. And those beautiful vending machines you posted would be destroyed within a week.

            Destroyed by who? What makes them not destroyed all across Europe?

            Yes, the milk industry is a problem. Just like in Canada, the milk cartels are making it impossible for small farms to do business independently due to lobbying for laws that prevent competition from entering the market in a meaningful way.

            They don’t exist, because the milk industry is captured by the agriculture industry. Same thing in Canada.
