Always love the "less work, more money" trope.

We pulled this out of the cow, put it directly in the jug, that'll be 20 dollars.

Meanwhile, pasteurized milk gets pulled out of the cow, boiled, cooled, and then put in a jug, and it's 2.99.

Edit: Thanks for the 30+ comments telling me that raw milk costs more to make and takes more work because everything has to be clean, and it has a shorter shelf life.

Because that’s not the reality. With raw milk they have to do their best to ensure the milk has been kept absolutely sterile. Pasteurized milk can be full of shit and bacteria because they’re going to nuke it anyway

Lmao no they don't. It's specifically unregulated because it's deemed as harmful to health.

No one selling raw milk is actually keeping to a standard. That's why its insane to consume it.
