People drinking raw milk are getting scammed. Are they dumb? Maybe. Mostly at fault? Probably. But the Florida Surgeon General "supports" drinking raw milk. They sell this shit-milk at natural grocery stores next to pasteurized milk. We need to attack the grifters, not consumers being harmed.
It's both. If you're really that stupid and gullible you'll drink raw milk to "own the libs" it's a problem that we should go ahead and allow to sort itself out. They'll learn better and stop listening to the grifters, or they won't and end up taking themselves out, either way it's a win for most.
You could argue the victims of any scam are gullible & stupid. That kind of shaming makes people less receptive to being educated. One thing we can say for sure: the grifters KNOW they are lying & selling a dangerous product. They shouldn't be let off the hook.
The kind of stupid that decided to start drinking raw milk, SHOULD be ashamed. It's the most fundamentally stupid thing to do and choosing to reject the most basic critical thinking in favor of "anitwoke" is the problem, full stop. They're beyond reason, or they wouldn't be drinking raw milk at all
so, not everybody who thinks raw milk is good for you is right-wing or doing it to make an anti-liberal political statement. there are a lot of hippie-mom types who fall for the naturalistic fallacy too and who might have some goofy antigovernment beliefs but aren’t maga. i know a lot of them.
They're still stupid, by choice, and ARE in fact making a political statement. It is *literally* a blatant rejection of qualified experts advice because they're "The Establishment" and hippie moms are "free thinkers" therefore better than "sheeple" and support people like RFK. It IS political.
it’s not always “owning the libs” which you asserted several times and is what i was responding to. people who are taken in by misinformation are not always conservatives.
They are *overwhelmingly* conservatives actually. And literally nobody cares if it's spelled out for you as "owning the libs" it is all part of the same rhetoric, which is and will always be inexcusably stupid, which is the point. Stop. Making. Excuses. For. Idiots.
you’re making unsupported assertions about the motivations & kinds of people who fall for misinformation. what evidence is there that people who drink raw milk are “overwhelmingly” conservative? & fwiw i didn’t say they were; i said they aren’t the only ones. i’m not making excuses for anyone.
No one is making excuses, but a lot of folks here understand the demographic being discussed far better than the simple caricatures you've created based on this being an issue you just recently discovered because it just became a political thing.
Guess the woo to Q pipeline isn’t a thing in their world.
That was wild to watch evolve over the last decade, both online and with people I know personally. Absolutely destroyed a local "buying club" for organic/pasture raised/raw dairy group I was in. Damn near half went into the pipe.
You're making a lot of assumptions & judgments about this person. I think she was misled, not pushing an agenda. Regardless, I'm not saying she doesn't bears any responsibility. But the grifters selling this shit-milk have some questions to answer too.
Never said they didn't. I know this is a hard concept these days, but *more than one party* can be dangerously stupid and should face consequences for it. You cannot be "misled" into basic food safety failures without swallowing political propaganda hook, line and sinker.
The idea of raw milk to "trigger the libs" is a very recent thing. For decades it's been the realm of crunchy hippie kinds of people. Most of the consumers of raw milk are the exact opposite of "antiwoke", though that "antiwoke" customer base is growing now.
It's typically not diehard MAGA that's shopping for raw dairy, organic vegetables, cage free eggs, and pasture raised meats.
The problem with this is that kids don't get to choose what their parents buy. We have to do what we can to protect those who can't protect themselves.
Like I said, take the child from the clearly unfit mother.
Who does he work for? A pussy in gogo boots that's who. Human Breast milk (as long as you're not using narcotics) is best for humans. And "Animal Feed" is not. The woman is insane, and her suit should be thrown out.
A lot of people don’t realize raw milk is common in places like France, Germany, and the UK too. It’s not just a “red vs blue” thing that the US has turned it into. In many countries it’s simply part of food culture.
When do you become responsible for your own decisions? In a place where information can be verified through a variety of sources, when is it a deliberate choice to do something you know is dangerous? And when is it entirely your own fault if you get damaged by your behavior? Floridians get a pass?
There's a lot of misinformation though. The FL surgeon general supports drinking raw milk. It's sold at stores & packaged just like pasteurized milk--odd if it's "feed for calves" So you're saying the dairy & market misleading people & selling this stuff (at a premium!) bear NO responsibility?
They took horse dewormer for Covid so 🤷🏼♀️
Ivermectin users love dem some good ole raw tittie juices
