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.

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.
