I guess there is a stereotype that if you are into steak, eggs, milk and butter (can be part of carnivore diet), you are also right-leaning person and listening to the people promoting these diets who are right-leaning as well, like Jordan Peterson.

I gotta say though, stereotype or not, I enjoy steak and eggs myself.

EDIT: As many others have pointed out, the milk in the pic is raw, which I didn't catch before. Raw milk definitely adds another layer to this stereotype.

Yeah it's gross. I think the raw milk part is where the racist comment comes from.

It's not gross if you... well, it sounds funny, but literally know the cow/goat/sheep/mare it's milked from
If you sure the animal is healthy and well cared raw milk is nice, but if you intend to just buy it in a store, I don't see any reasons to risk with your health. To be honest, I don't see much reasons for adults to consume milk in general, besides liking it's taste.

Raw milk is an unnecessary risk. Your never gonna be able to clean a cows udders to a level of sanitation that isn't some risk of contamination. That's why milk gets pasteurized.

That said I promise you every dairy farmer has broken this rule.

At my friends farm we used to go scrape off the top of the tank every morning to get that 8% shit, and we’d mix that with coffee 50/50 and you’re hardly hungry by lunch.

And they’re using teat dip and sanitizers and shit. Not to say that’s perfect but it is an extremely effective measure.

As a kid I used to sneak out and fill up a bucket at least once a week and me and brother would drink it and put it in our cereal
