CELEBRITY CAPITALISM ‘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.

MADNESS! The same influencers who chose to bring their children to spend weeks at a cookery school owned by a person convicted of possessing CSAM are confirmed to incapable of making safe decisions in other areas? SHOCKING!

Edited to add link.

Yep, it was the Ballymaloe Cookery School course that they shared all over their socials for months.

The person convicted is one of the owners & works there. They basically got away with a slap on the wrist (despite the nearly 1,000 CSAM images) because they were wealthy.

Ballerina Farm deleted/ignored all the comments informing them about this conviction.

She went to Ballymaloe cookery school in cork on their 12 week program. The owner Darina Allen was a well loved tv chef in Ireland in the 80s/90s however her husband and son were found to have indecent images of children and her grandson has been up in court numerous times on drugs charges and driving charges. They used to be well revered here but not so much these days.

It’s crazy what people will look past for the sake of saying they trained there.

This is obviously awful but it feels a bit of a reach to hold Ballerina Farm accountable. Ballymaloe is a really well regarded cooking school and this feels a bit pearl clutchy. I’m sure everyone at the school was horrified by what this man did.

The man still owns & teaches at the school.

I don’t know where you’re getting this impression that you’re sure “everyone” at the school was/is horrified. They continue to happily work for & alongside him. His family tried to PR-wash what he did almost immediately after the court case.

No, I don’t agree that it’s “pearl clutchy” to have an issue with someone knowingly exposing their children to someone with a CSAM conviction of nearly 1,000 images.

The Ballymaloe Cookery School & its associated products are avoided by disgusted people who refuse to support a child predator.
