People who milk cows, who actually drink raw milk, understand that’s not milk you can just store away.
Oh is it the copious amount of their own shit and mud they’re covered with? It’s the shit and mud isn’t it?
Unless you’re a baby cow, I don’t see why you’d wanna drink raw milk
Wellness scams and nutritional nonsense is also only able to grow this popular in a population that doesn’t have access to high quality healthcare at a reasonable cost
My dad got violently ill from fresh raw milk. Modern humans literally evolved because we HAD to learn how to cook to give us a better chance of survival.
I’m out the loop, am I supposed to be boiling my milk before consuming it?
put a warning label on it, let it rip, let the lawsuits fall where they may. They crave the forbidden raw cow juice. Curiosity > listeria whether you like it or not.
And you know it’s just the word “pasteurization” that they object to. They have no idea that it just means heating the milk to a certain temperature for a certain amount of time to kill germs. They’re convinced there’s “chemicals” involved.
Seeing a cow up close will make you rethink a lot of life choices
Not going for the body temp naturally frothy drink?
I’m personally waiting for the RAW water fad to start.
This is how a lot of people are going to get the bird flu
Milk is stored in the balls.
Today I saw a cow drink another’s cows pee as it was coming out
As long as they do the same processing aside from pasteurization raw milk should be sold. It shouldn’t be used for drinking, though. It should be used for yogurt making, cheese making, etc…
I want my raw milk, but I want it from a trustworthy supplier.
If you have never seen a cow it’s likely you can’t get raw milk you can safely consume
I’ve watched a lot of cows just stand there and continue eating while another cow is actively shitting and pissing all over their head.
Their utters are covered in shit, go to the state fair and see for yourself
“raw milk” just means literal cow shit in your milk. It’s self selecting for stupidity.
I say let them have their shit milk. They get what they fucking deserve.
I worked on a cow farm and stopped drinking milk. No shit. There’s a device for removing the puss. Still didn’t stop me from eating cheese, but you couldn’t force me to drink cow milk, ever.
I drank raw milk as a child, because my grandfather was a cattle rancher and he drank it almost daily. On a totally unrelated note, I suffer from lifelong gastrointestinal issues, which coincidentally started when I was very young.
It’s the same premise as “organic” or “natural” foods. If you are even vaguely familiar with where food comes from and how it is produced, you know a lot of this is bullshit.
A raw milk latte would likely be safe, as you’d pasturize it while making it
They are wet at both ends.
That’s no way to talk about your mother
My wife always wants me to wash carrots before peeling them.
She’s obviously never seen a carrot that has just been pulled from the ground.
Yeah I’ll drink raw milk from my friend’s pampered pet goat because I’ve seen how clean she’s kept and how she’s washed. But from the store? In the US, where we’re having major food recalls ever other week? Fuck that.
And then there was all the babies that died from tainted milk. Don’t forget about the dead babies.
All it takes is one 4 hour shift of milking a cow, WITH AUTOMATION NO LESS, for you to truly appreciate how reasonable pasteurization is now. I will never get the smell of>!shit, piss and moldy hay!<out of my sense memory, ever. And people want to drink that.
First of all: I inhaled the crackers I was eating when I read this and nearly choaked. So thanks for that! Really pleasant.
Second: thank you for succinctly reposting that!
A family owned clean milk cow should be an okay source. The major problem are the factory based cows that look like crap, have all sorts of mangy things going on with them and the problem of long term storage of raw milk. Glad I finally quit drinking milk and went with soy and oat milk.
My parents and other elders on the family are often saying that “in the olden days” you would drink fresh milk out of family’s cow and that it was delicious, so I don’t think so
Most of the people who “drink raw milk” boil the milk. To kill off the bad stuff. You know, the thing that is called pasteurization. But they insist it’s different because reasons and also the deep state or whatever.
When you see cows just eating hay/silage/alfafa at one end, and see the shit running out at the other end simultaneously you immediately know why milk is pasteurized.
Even better is seeing up close the backend of a cow after its had a runny shit : its back legs AND udder (where the milk comes out) are usually covered in liquid shit.
When the cows come into the ‘milking parlor’ on a dairy farm a disinfectant is applied to each teat prior to the milking pulsator being put on said teat. EDIT: The video below shows/describes automated disinfectant (iodine) being applied. My experience was with older tech, and the person applying the milking claw had to disinfect each teat by hand.
Here’s a dairy farm explanation video, and the specific time I’ve linked to shows the cows coming into the milking parlor. Note the cow shit and detritus on the cows legs/feet.

Who drinks milk? Yuck.
Raw milk *probably* has a time and place somewhere, but I don’t think that’s on a shelf where it becomes nastier by the day
Welcome back…to Nate the hoof guy.
yeah, once you’re within sniffing distance of a cow, ‘raw milk’ starts to sound less like a health trend and more like a fear factor challenge
I love this raw milk craze. Normally when idiots make bad decisions, the rest of us face the negative impacts too but with raw milk it only hurts them.
Let the dumb fucks drink it. Who cares if they get sick
I read this in Stanley Tucci’s voice
Every big dairy barn I’ve gotten within 400 feet of smells of shit and death.
My landlord keeps cows on our property. I wouldn’t go out and milk one for my cereal, but mostly because it’s less effort to just drive to the store. Nothing against cows or milk drinking.
I make homemade Greek yogurt using raw milk.
There’s not much I say this about, but it’s unbelievable. It’s so good. I don’t care if it sounds weird.
Why are we trying so hard? They want to drink raw milk? Let them. Fuck around and find out.
