The lone claim that holds up is that raw milk tastes better, something that’s obviously a matter of taste. And that’s a really stupid reason to get very, very sick—to say nothing about potentially kicking off a brand new human-centered pandemic that could kill half of everyone infected with it.
We need to put like a massive dome around US to fully quarantine them from rest of the world because there is something seriously wrong with most of the country+inhabitants.
At least in Colorado it's illegal to buy from a dairy but legal to drink from your own cow. Problem solved, right?
So anyway the dairies that sell raw milk will sell you a "share" of a "cow" which then entitles you to X amount of raw milk per week with no regulation. Technically you're just a homesteader suckling the family cow instead of buying milk from a normal industrial-sized dairy next to all of the other industrial-sized dairies.
Here it has to be marked “Not for human consumption” but for some reason can still be sold in grocery stores. It’s only in some weird nutty “health food” stores but it shouldn’t be fucking anywhere
Here’s hoping the 60% fatality rate is the result of a selection bias because if not, the only thing protecting us is a lack of ability to spread in humans in the current mutation.
Fresh raw milk should be safe. It's when you let it cool that it immediately gets fucked up. How if his herd has been exposed to the h5n1 bird flu, I'd stop consuming that immediately.
