America, home of the brave and land of fucking around and finding out.
Wonder if they tried heating the milk up to 63 degrees C for 30 mins before consumption?
Maybe that would help.
Nah just add a little ivermectin and you’re good!
Why would you say crazy, nonsense things like that?
Sorry, I am out of line.
But I do think it could catch on.
I wish they would irradiate it instead of boiling. Irradiation is completely safe and preserves the nutritional benefits. But the raw milk people are generally opposed to that, and irradiation has a PR problem. Sadness.
What nutritional benefits does it preserve exactly?
I also imagine on the company side it’s probably more expensive to do that rather than just making it hot enough.
They really should start selling it and marketing it as never frozen fresh. It’ll be even more effective that way once its legal nationwide.
I’m cool with idiots who don’t know any better getting what’s coming to them… but I’m not really cool with them sneezing on the same door handles I turn.
Except the same people end up serving it to their kids
Fun fact:
The dairy was fined in 2023 for a Salmonella outbreak and is very militantly anti-government.
The why seems pretty clear.
So, I don’t really understand the science, but my son is only able to drink raw milk. When he drinks normal milk, he has terrible stomach aches and mad diarrhea. When he drinks raw milk, it’s all rainbows and butterflies. For reference, he’s 3 and has been drinking the raw milk for around a year and a half. Also, the rest of the family had no issues drinking pasteurized milk. Maybe somebody smarter than me could explain why this is?
Should totally stop feeding him raw milk, get those lactose-free milk instead.
I actually think we may have tried lactaid as well, with a similar reaction. My wife would remember for sure.
You should give oat milk a try (or soy/almond, but oat tastes the best imo)
FWIW, there’s a lot we don’t know - but are learning - about bacteria and the gut. For example, if I’m not mistaken, a baby gets a lot of important gut bacteria from it’s mum through breastfeeding.
So when I hear all this argument about raw vs pasteurised milk, I expect there really is something of health benefit to raw milk, just there’s a big downside of harmful pathogens that can be cured with pasteurization. That doesn’t mean all raw milk is unsafe. Like with raw eggs in the UK, or not iodizing your vegetables, it can be safer with care over production.
Anyway, that is to say, I figure there could be some interaction with the bacteria in the raw milk helping your son to digest it.
But having seen the other comment suggesting homogenisation, that sounds more likely to me. (Just a guess though.)
There seems to be some disagreements among the healthcare community as well. With my son, we tried normal milk, goat’s milk, and raw. The raw was the only one that didn’t cause the gut issues. We mentioned this to his pediatrician, and he told us there was no difference. When we mentioned the variance to a different physician, he said there absolutely would be reason for him to react with the pasteurized but not the raw. I think he mentioned something about the breakdown of protiens when milk is pasteurized, but I can’t remember for sure.
This might be helpful, or it might be unrelated.
Recently, I made mozzarella from scratch. In order to do that, I needed some milk that wasn’t homogenised. Homogenisation is the process of breaking up the fat globules within milk into smaller droplets so they’re more evenly dispersed throughout the liquid, meaning there won’t be a fatty layer that separates out when you leave the milk to stand.
Most milk that you buy at the supermarket would be both homogenised and pasteurised. I learned that pasteurised milk could work for cheese, depending on the specific temperature the milk was heated to during pasteurisation (because the required minimum temperature for pasteurization is below the temperature that causes issues for mozzarella, but some brands pasteurise at a higher temperature. Unfortunately most brands don’t say what temperature they pasteurise at, but I got lucky with the first one I tried). That part’s not especially relevant to you and is mostly cheese related
The thing I wanted to suggest, out of scientific curiosity more than helpfulness, is that I wonder how your son would do with pasteurised, non-homogenised milk — perhaps it’s the homogenisation that’s causing the problem, rather than the pasteurisation. If you do try this, I’d be interested to hear back how things go; I haven’t heard of anyone having issues like this before
Oh, interesting. I’ll have to look into where to find that.
Maybe don’t fucking feed him milk at all? Whoa mind blown…
Have the rest of the family conduct a double-blind test. In other words, neither you nor the child now which is which.
I bet the solution is so fast, it’s past your eyes before you know it.
Edit: for anybody who is hearing impaired.
Past-yer-eyes milk. Nice.
Hmm, a sign language pun. Interesting!
The more deadly pseudoscience that spreads the fewer conservatives there are in America, so I can’t say I mind stuff like this too much.
I mind it. In isolation it would be fine, but with their ignorance, these types punish and harm their families, mainly their children, who would otherwise just grow up to cut contact with them anyway, long as they didn’t end up sharing their views. Plus when it’s disease, they just have to walk near a person who isn’t another conservative to spread it. As we learned from covid, the best person to be wearing the mask is the sick one, and they don’t play along.
And they will blame it on someone else causing them to become sick like 5G or wifi
Some relatively unknown French microbiologist is rolling in his grave right now.

Sacre Bleu!
Sanitation is being put out to Pasteur
This is a top grade pun.
Just have a spoon of pesticides after drinking that pure natural raw milk. If it’s good for the corn it’s good for you.
Don’t forget to sun your taint. I hear that cures all sorts of things
A sun-goatse of sorts.
Throw in some powerful antibiotics too … if it’s good for the cow, it’s good for you
A bit of roundup and horse paste, the MAGA cure-all.
at least CVD isn’t contagious
Every new infection is a new dice roll for a human-human infection mutation
Low chance, but let’s hope we don’t get XCOM’d
Cardiovascular disease is never going to be contagious, except through socially transmitted values that say it is okay to commit atrocity against cattle.
Ah, sorry. Was still at the bird flu from op
*yet
Hey, I live there and someone just posted on our local Facebook page asking where to get some raw milk. I’ll send them a link.
Fuck, dude, it’s already in California? I was hoping it was at least somewhat contained to Canada but clearly I haven’t been keeping up with the news on the issue.
What is contained in Canada? Bird flu? There has only been one case and they are unsure where the teenager got it from.
It’s in our factory farming animals. It’s been that way for a while. The administration if just fucking around with it and not culling like they should.
And farmers are concealing their infected herds because they don’t want their animals culled. So just assume it is everywhere. We are probably on pandemic II feat. RFK Jr and Trump very soon and it is going to be a lot of fun.
I sure hope they chug that stuff.
Hmmm. Maybe theres still a little time, but rather unlikely.
Yeah, who knows. There is a possibility that they get a vaccine for farm animals soon and that ends the pandemic. But I’m not counting on it. I’ve stocked up on masks and the like, but I’ve never stopped with social distancing, masking and the like so a new flu pandemic isn’t going to change my life much.
It might disrupt my plans to travel, but I’m glad to hear people are busy preparing this time.
I just drank like 2 glasses of milk because it was strawberry flavored :(
Raw milk or pasteurized? The latter is most likely ok.
Raw milk now getting “Bird Flued on Date”
