Bird flu in US cows: is the milk supply safe?
Bird flu in US cows: is the milk supply safe?
Pasteurized milk is probably not a threat to people, but fresh milk droplets on milking equipment could be spreading the virus in a herd.
To conservatives who pushed to get rid of laws requiring pasteurization? No.
To literally everyone else: yes.
Unless you drink milk handed to you by a conservative, who swears that "it's totally safe", then maybe.
"Removing safety measures was supposed to only hurt other people, not me!"
A 'giant middle finger to experts'
For now, to drink (and, especially, to produce) raw milk "is a way of breaking with convention and raging against the machine", said Weiss, "while engaging in caveman-inspired biohacking".
"Raw milkers want control over their lives", said Weiss, and that includes their food.
We don't need to attribute to malice what can be explained by sheer, unadulterated, absolute, abject stupidity.
Oh well, so long as it is properly labelled, I am actually fine with them having their "freedumbs" - it is rather when they extend out of that zone and try to tell OTHERS what to do with THEIR bodies that they need to be reigned in.
The milk is probably safe if it’s pasteurized. Not so sure about the ranchers who are repeatedly exposed to sick cows tho.
They may be more immune than anyone. Like how milk maids didn't get smallpox because they were exposed to cowpox first.
They may be more immune than anyone.
Not all farmers have healthy immune systems and it only takes one.
Just as long as they aren’t spreading it to everyone else they run into who doesn’t work with cows.

Not to leave out many farmers drink raw milk.

Drinking it immediately after milking the (healthy) cow is perfectly safe, and people have been drinking unpasteurized milk that was taken from the cow that morning for millenia. The risk/reward ratio is definitely not worth it though if you dont plan on drinking the milk within an hour of milking though.
Just switch to oat/almond/pea/soy/other milk's. Same nutritional benefits, no sick cows involved.
But not the same yummy taste, some would say it's an inferior taste.
I switched to almond milk years ago simply because the shelf life is 3x or more that of cow's milk. I never go through cow's milk before it expires so it's been great for me. The flavor is a bit different but it's not worse.
For me it depends on the brand, added sugars, and what you’re using it for (cooking, cold cereal, smoothies, drinking it straight). This seems to be the case for all of the plant-based milks. But it can be enjoyable finding the ones you like.
Same nutritional benefits
Are they?
The macro and micro nutrients are different (but FDA makes a good case for fortified soy milk)
Reading this in bed without my glasses and I'll be damned if I switch to cat milk.
Yeah! And no babies ripped from their mothers.
There's a percentage of bat guano that's "safe" to have fallen in when corn flakes are produced. I still don't want that fucking bullshit in there.
At one time I was exploring caves and got sick. I asked a doctor if you could get a reduced amount of rabies from the bat guano I encountered. He laughed and said it was like pregnancy. There was no minor rabies. You either have it or you don't, and yes you can get it from the guano.
Same with Rum!
Rum and cornflakes, huh? Sounds delicious
Yes.
As long as it's not oat flu, should be fine
