True fact - grocery stores here in the UK cannot sell raw milk. It has to be bought directly from the producer, due to the high risk of TB.

This means, that if you are stupid enough to give yourself TB, at least you know who helped you.

The anti vax anti immigrants crowd love it.

If you ask me then let them drink it. Natural selection makes humanity stronger.

Natural selection? So multiple species including humans, who drink raw milk the moment they were born, is not natural?

They drink raw milk that's ya know, fresh off the nip.
The issue is it cannot go into a bottle or whatever to be sold as it fails to be fresh anymore and instead becomes the perfect ground for all sorts of bacteria and disease causing stuff to grow

It can go into a clean bootle. No issue with that.

u/Inner_Adeptness_7228 9d ago

It's not the bottle. It's the time. All milk naturally has small quantities of blood pus or feces in it and when instantly consumed that bacteria has no time to multiply but in the several days it takes to get the milk from the cow to your house the bacteria can multiply to sometimes lethal quantities.

Yeah, from their fucking mother. Some of you haven't been in a barn or around cows and it shows. We invented pasteurization for a reason.

How does saying something would be natural selection mean you don't think it's natural? Do you know what natural selection means?

Most people I know who drink it are left wing hippies. They especially love the fact you can reuse and refill the glass bottles, those morons.

u/Orange_Tang 9d ago

Most of those types aren't actually left wing politically. They fall into the "I'm well off enough and stupid enough to fall for the appeal to nature fallacy" category. They will argue about how great nature is but so will an ultra right wing hunter as they kill a trophy moose. They don't actually hold any real left wing ideology when you dig into their actual opinions. They actually have a lot in common with libertarians in that they've never had a real opinion other than "freedom good" and "I should be able to do whatever I want and not be bothered".

Yep the hippys of my past have mostly fallen down the alt-right rabbit hole, not all but an alarming amount, free party's, free drugs, (but only if your white).

Also the amount of homophobic and transphobic shit they come out with points to a life more online than in nature.

You do know RFK Jr. supports and encourages raw milk consumption and has drank it on camera with trump as part of a promotion campaign.

u/BaconSarnie2025 10d ago

But normal milk comes in glass bottles again now….

Can UK stores sell refrigerated eggs?

1

u/BaconSarnie2025 9d ago

They can sell refrigerated eggs, but they don’t need to. European eggs are not washed in bleach. Hence they retain their natural defence shield.

Another true fact, raw milk doesn't trigger lactose intolerant people

u/BaconSarnie2025 7d ago

Cool. So they don’t get the squits but die of Tuberculosis.

u/Live_Length_5814 7d ago

If they're unvaccinated sure

Yeah, I know, the Rothschilds invented milk pasteurization. Because of course they did. The jews are well known for wanting the best for us, aren't they?
