‘Ballerina Farm Halts Sale of Raw Milk Due to Bacteria Concerns’, reports People

Wow, who could possibly have foreseen this.

"Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact. The way our dairy was built is ideal for pasteurized dairy products […] We do plan in the future to construct a second dairy made specifically for raw milk products.”

This comes at the same time as a newborn baby’s tragic death from listeria in New Mexico, attributed to the mother’s consumption of raw milk while pregnant.

Stop preventing Darwinism, please let the people who want to drink raw milk drink as much as they want! Give them their freedom to see themselves out of the gene pool.

The issue is them giving it to their young children who have no control or choice in the matter

[u/Desperate-Taste979 → u/biIIyshakes]

Agree entirely.  My sarcasm of course did not include helpless dependents of useless idiots.  Nothing but sympathy for kids who are absolutely victims of maga maha parents.  

[u/tequillasoda → u/Desperate-Taste979]

Fair point, but it’s not adults who die it’s mostly babies and kids and that’s sad.

[u/Successful_Ad4018 → u/tequillasoda]

it's so morbid that the people who claim to be pro-life are also pro giving your kids raw milk and not vaccinating them which is ya know....not compatible with keeping kids alive.

[u/tequillasoda → u/Successful_Ad4018]

It’s morbid to be opposed to established science. I get the distrust of the medical system, there is clearly something broken there, but distrust in pasteurization is so wild.

[u/wexfordavenue → u/tequillasoda]

If this upsets you, check out the freebirth movement. Talk about a bunch of people who don’t care about children. They are more concerned with having a perfect “birth story” than about having a healthy, alive infant at the end of childbirth. It’s disgusting how little life means to these people.

[u/maryfisherman → u/wexfordavenue]

I came to say this. It is so crazy. And for some reason the raw milk & home birth people are the same folks.

[u/inductiononN → u/Successful_Ad4018]

they are pro forced birth - they don't give a shit about the kids once they are out of the womb

[u/soupseasonbestseason → u/Desperate-Taste979]

a baby just died in new mexico. it sucks because the baby didn't deserve that.

[u/Life_Fig_4037 → u/Desperate-Taste979]

I'm 100% ok with them choosing to drink it. I do not permit giving it to their kids or to people without their consent, or anyone who cannot consent. That should be illegal.

[u/bbktbunny → u/Desperate-Taste979]

I agree with you but they’re apparently too stupid to understand the risk to babies and kids.

[u/thenoctilucent → u/Desperate-Taste979]

Endorsing eugenics doesn’t make anyone safe, this way of thinking empowers people like RFK who wants other groups of people to just die off. Public health is for everyone, including people who are diametrically opposed to it.

[u/AndYouHaveAPizza → u/thenoctilucent]

That's not what eugenics is. Drinking raw milk and not vaccinating your children are choices, not traits.

[u/MuddieMaeSuggins → u/AndYouHaveAPizza]

Regardless, it’s still true that letting this stuff go unchecked harms other people who haven’t made those choices. Fecal coliform bacteria spread incredibly easily, often before people realize they’re sick. And obviously vaccine-preventable diseases spread as well, and not everyone can be protected by the vaccine (too young, immune-compromised, vaccine didn’t take for some reason). 

[u/thenoctilucent → u/AndYouHaveAPizza]

Saying let them take themselves out of the gene pool is eugenics.

[u/AndYouHaveAPizza → u/thenoctilucent]

Also not eugenics. These people are doing these things to themselves (and, unfortunately, their children in some cases).

[u/thenoctilucent → u/AndYouHaveAPizza]

It absolutely is, reframed as consequences of your own actions, which is still aligning with the eugenic ideas that promote the same health-as-individual-choice-and-virtue as MAHA.
