Four decades ago, a multistate salmonella epidemic traced to milk from a Melrose Park farm sickened an estimated 168,000 to 197,000 people across the Midwest, according to Tribune articles at the time.

The article repeats MTG’s assertion that folks should drink it and avoid pharmaceuticals. So, why are they using pharmaceutical drugs and modern medicine to save their lives?

Interviewing these influencers, printing their gibberish non-answers verbatim, and exposing more people to this pipeline - without directly contradicting their crazy in the very next sentence you print, is fully journalistic malpractice.

It is not a debate. It is pure stupidity to think raw cows milk is okay for humans. It is so bad pasteurization was developed and deployed to save lives.

Put it out there and let the herd thin itself. I'm tired of trying to convince supposedly grown ass people that something will kill them or make them incredibly ill. Except for the kids getting hurt, dumbass conservative decisions would be completely fine with me. Inject whatever, take whatever.

The problem is that there’s an inflection point where it really starts costing us. MAGA believes that everything that is a problem should be someone else’s responsibility. But eventually all these stupid evil people will really become a problem to the rest of us

Years ago I practiced medicine in rural Mexico. There was a reason why we referred to raw milk as "leche cruda". It caused a lot of illness.

The argument against Pasteurization isn't just weak, it's nonsensical. And idiots pushing it be stopped deserve a place in hell for playing that game. Because you know they aren't really drinking the bad milk. They just want you to.

I love the internet, but it’s getting to the point where facts can’t compete with crazy anymore. “Despite well-documented risks, raw milk appears to be gaining popularity… as social media personalities — and even some lawmakers and public health figures — embrace unpasteurized dairy.” +

“One Illinois farmer who sells raw milk says demand for the product has skyrocketed in the past five years or so.” Kilgus Farmstead in Fairbury… sold about 50 gallons of raw milk a week when it began offering it in 2020. Now sales are at about 800 to 1,000 gallons weekly.”
