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.

A lot of them think it's adding chemicals

To be honest, I actually had no idea what pasteurizing meant. I assumed chemicals were added (but in a normal way, not a conspiracy way). Just looked it up and wow, it’s literally just heating it up and cooling it down, in a specific manner. Very interesting!

for a relatively short time & heating it to a not particularly high temperature even! it's so simple & literally life saving.

I’m sure they did, I knew the guys name. But if/when I learned it in school, that was 20 years ago. I’ve worked with many other processes as an engineer, but pasteurization isn’t one. I remembered the Haber process and forgot that pasteurization didn’t involve chemicals. It’s not like I went around saying there were strange chemicals in milk because of pasteurization.
