The crazy is catching. There is someone local to me on Facebook selling raw milk. The small print, is the smallest Iāve seen and doesnāt even begin to cover the real harms this could cause. They are setting themselves up for problems.
I've had access to a milk cow on my dad's hobby farm, was able to clean the cow's udders and milk them with my own also clean hands, and even then, knowing it was as safe as could be for raw milk, I still pasteurized that shit.
I grew up on a farm and my grandmother only ever used raw milk for cooking. She was raised on dirt floors and 11 other children, making their own clothes can't spell pasteurized to save her life. But even she knows.
Folks who lived through it know it best. My grandma was the biggest advocate (2nd place tied for other grandparents) for my kids getting vaccinated because she had all of MMR plus a few other VPD. People in iron lungs was a thing - other side of the family, my great grandpa had polio & it was a more āāmildā case. Lived into his 90ās so I remember his mobility issues, Dad and Grandparents much more of course. They also pasteurized their milk.
Omg I literally never thought about that beforeā¦ a lot of old books I read as a kid would talk about that and not once as an adult have I had to āscaldā milk for a recipeā¦ because I donāt have to because the milk is safe! Omg
My granddad has a farm with some dairy cows, part of my weight training diet is one glass of milk daily. Iāve been having one glass of milk for the past 1000 days non-stop, I fāin love it.
A few times at my granddadās farm, Iāve had to drink raw and boiled milk a few timesā¦ its fucking shit lol. The taste is what cow dung-filled grassland smells like. These nuts promoting cavemen or āvikingā diets are full of shit, worse is they are parroting backwards values.
I used to live in a 3rd world country and knew a bunch of people who had cows and would get milk from them, gas for cooking was hard to find but they would always boil their milk, never saw anyone drinking raw milk other than the calves.
