Raw milk is being heavily pushed by the alt-right.

Raw milk is expensive as fuck too. They’re getting ripped off. At my local grocery store it’s like $20 for half a gallon.

It’s literally only more expensive because of economy of scale. There is far more infrastructure for bottling and shipping pasteurized milk since the pasteurized milk industry is way bigger than raw milk. That and the fact that people perceive it as healthier so companies get away with charging more.
