They think raw milk is natural, but would they still feel that way if they knew how selectively bred all dairy cows are at this point? The DNA of the dairy cow is where the milk manufacturing pipeline begins. We didn't select for sanitary milk from the udder because we knew it could be pasturized later in the pipeline.

Okay so they're not getting vaccinated and now they're guzzling unpasteurised milk whilst cattle all over the US are dying of this latest bird flu?
I'm starting to think this right-wing shift might sort itself out
(Before anyone says, I know this is very bad for avoiding another pandemic which won't care about how you vote)
That's what people said during Covid. The strongest dumbs still survived.
No, we made the mistake of doing everything thing we could to make them get vaccinated.
Next time we know better.
New ad campaign:
"You survived COVID, even though the liberals tried to get you to vaccinate. You haven't vaccinated to this day because you have an immune system. You're conservative and strong. So when the liberals try again with bird flu, monkey pox, or whatever animal disease they come up with next, just tell them, 'No thank you.'" Make sure the video playing along with the words shows strong manly men - white, of course - with rugged good looks, wearing outdoorsy clothes, doing manly stuff. Guaranteed to convince a bunch of insecure conservative douchebags not to vaccinate. Again.
Waaay too many words. Keep it simple.

You don't really need the bird flu in that mix, even. Pasteurization was a huge public health win.
What next, fridges are woke nanny state inventions and real red-blooded Americans store all their food in room temperature, especially their raw milk and meat?

We should have a weekly celebration where conservatives drink raw milk together. Just guzzle it all down you idiots.
Also binge drink alcohol & smoke all the cigarettes/put in all the dips (because anything that's horrible for your health they love for some reason).
That will show everyone who chooses to smoke weed and exercise and eat vegetables.
That will get them good.
As someone who stopped drinking raw milk as soon as I became aware of the bird flu issue they have whatever happens to them coming. They're incredibly goddamn stupid.
I just like non homogenized milk, it's hard to find pasteurized. Nothing worth dying over ffs.

It's because the gubmint told them they can't have it and, like petulant children, they just wanna do what they've been told they shouldn't.

They richly deserve tuberculosis. Too bad it'll also afflict innocent people.
There might be one or two far leftists here. Seriously curious, does anyone here think drinking raw cow's milk is a good idea? Why?
The alt right crowd are weird as shit. Nobody gave a fuck about "raw milk" until the last year or so.
I've seen signs for raw milk in the UK now. The local Facebook groups have tinfoil hat types who think there's a giant conspiracy about Arla (huge milk wholesaler) milk not selling, and taking photos of milk in shops to "prove" it...
The world seems to be in a mental health crisis, and while I'm not suggesting reopening Bedlam lunatic asylum we should probably pay some attention to this. Social media has a lot to answer for
I work at a tailgate market in a left leaning area. There's always one or two people who come looking for raw milk and I have to explain that the milk we sell is UV pasteurized instead of heat pasteurized, so the proteins are more intact. They're never satisfied with that. They tend to have accents, so I assume they use to get raw milk in their country, but in their country, the milk isn't being mixed from hundreds of cows, possible from completely different farms, so the rick of contamination is much lower where they're from.
I tell them to find a farm and tell them you want to make cheese. It's not my problem if they want to make themselves sick.

I think the foothold thought was that pasteurization destroys more than just bacteria, and milk might be healthier and/or tastier without having been changed by that process. Of course taste is largely culturally acquired - example A being Germans and UHT milk - but lots of people fancy themselves taste-o-philes.
Then the mistrust of "them" kicked in, and if "they" said the risk of pathogenic bacteria far outweighed any marginal health benefit, the "truth" must be the opposite.
It's easier too if you're the one milking, with the exception that pasteurization also extends shelf life
I feel like it used to be a super far left thing but the spectrum is a horseshoe as I'm sure you know. I also think it comes a bit from the prepper community which tends to be "libertarian"

I hear the "deep state" wants to stop you from eating rotting food. You're not going to let a bunch of scientists and health department officials tell you what to eat, are you?
/s just in case.

Let them drink milk.
Problem is, it won't just affect them. Tuberculosis can spread just fine.

Gullible fucks. How many of them would die if they were told that they can boost their immunity by sticking their house keys in a power outlet.

Are they or is that just what the media wants us to believe? I hear the "left" is obsessed with all kinds of things too yet I never seem to encounter these people outside of social media.
