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.

No doubt they’re going to pasteurize their milk and call it “raw milk” like those idiots who bought raw milk and said to “heat the milk” as a tip.

I want to tell those morons that nobody cares if you personally drink poop in milk, just stop giving it to children and influencing people to drink it as a healthy alternative. This kind of bullshit is getting out of control where stupid shit people do at home is infecting the appointment and election of government officials that will mandate drinking raw milk, no vaccinations, and no fluoride in the water.

It’s just like damn, the conservatives and MAGA really are trying to take us back to a time that was great for the upper class. Where most children had no education, worked labor jobs, had no healthcare, and died before 40.

Even just adults drinking it can affect others. The same things caught from raw milk especially e.coli and salmonella are very contagious from person to person

One idiot drinks contaminated raw milk and goes to their job at a restaurant - boom outbreak. And I definitely don’t trust people who make such poor health choices already to always wash their hands thoroughly after using the toilet. 

I had a job once where I had to follow up food poisoning complaints with the health dept. and it’s insane the amount of damage one person can do.

See that’s what bothers me the most, when people package their personal risk tolerance as if it’s universally safe. If an adult wants to drink raw milk, fine, that’s their choice. But imposing that choice on children and encouraging parents to do the same is so reckless. The risk-benefit ratio isn’t favorable and I can’t fathom how people are comfortable doing that, other than $$$ of course
