    Maybe ‘raw milk’ shouldn’t be-

    Oh, nevermind, we’re going to have RFK in charge of public health now, it’s a lost cause

      I hadn’t heard of this. I was shocked to find out that unpasteurised milk could be sold to begin with, didn’t expect a second shock in the comments. Think I’m going to go back to just not touching social media for a while.

        I’m surprised it can be sold in stores alongside regular milk. Raw milk doesn’t last long because of the lack of pasteurization, the logistics of constant replacement due to the lack of shelf time is insane. There’s no way places can be making money simply due to product loss as it goes bad before being sold.

        Unless the farms selling it to the stores are lying about expiration dates due to lack of adequate regulations.

          Maybe they end up selling enough. I wonder the same thing about the snowfox sushi sold in grocery stores. They have a shelf life of 1 day and the shelves are always full even before the store closes. They can either break even or they are running at a high loss.

          Also, I don’t know if the raw milk is sold in regular grocery stores. I have never seen one.

            The sushi I see sold in the stores near me is usually restocked a few times during the day since they keep smaller quantities on hand, usually early morning, late morning and late afternoon, to get people for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
            I also think it’s a pretty high margin food. You usually just need a little veggies and some rice, and optionally a pretty small amount of fish for the price you pay.
            One person can then prepare two or three rolls at once in a couple of minutes.

            It’s not great sushi usually, but it’s at least better than the majority of grab and go foods.

      In the beginning of bird flu, the instances called for only using treated milk. As a counter reaction, the sale of raw milk went up. Rationality went out the window some time ago.

        These are the same geniuses who went from chicken pox to covid “parties” for the express purpose of infecting everyone, this country has always been filled with reactionary ignorant asshats.

          I will say in defense of chicken pox parties, those made sense before vaccines existed. If you didn’t get it in childhood it was a lot more dangerous to catch in adulthood. And you had a 95% chance of getting it at some point (lifetime infection rate pre-vaccine), so the thought was to get it over with when you were young.

          Now, obviously, just get the damn vaccine.

      Not only will the milk be raw, but there will also be no vaccines. The next pandemic is going to be such a hoot.

            You’re thinking to small. Start up store that only sells ivermectin and sell it straight to the government for insane markups. That’s what happened during COVID with regular medical supplies! Heck one of the reasons why they were in short supply is becaue Kuchner gave the federal government’s supply to his buddy’s companies who then sold them to hospital systems for a profit. Some of it even just got sold back to federal government.

    I’m 100% for raw milk. I hope some one is setting up a centralized nation wide distribution ready to go live the second it’s legal, and I hope everyone who wants it can get it at the same time before any news can spread.

      Rightwingers don’t believe in any problem until it directly affects them. They won’t understand why we have modern medicine and health regulations until they personally feel the effects of having taken it all away. And even then many of them still won’t.

      When men were men, women were property, black people were property, Irish people were black people, and we had just curb stomped our first country full of brown people.

      A man could just pick up and go to a new town and call himself a doctor, sell some random bullshit to whoever, and leave before the consequences could catch up to him.

      “Just because you said that, I’m gonna drink raw milk even harder now. Get owned, nerd.” Or something along those lines.

    It comes as California has reported 29 confirmed human cases of bird flu since early October, primarily stemming from cows, according to CDPH. Of those cases, 28 had direct contact with infected cows, all cases had mild symptoms that were primarily eye infections, and none required hospitalization.

    “No person-to-person spread of bird flu has been detected in California or the U.S [yet!!],” the news release said.

    Emphasis is mine, but pink eye for everyone sounds like it’s going to be amazing. An anti-vaccine Health Department seems like the perfect sequel to the COVID ball drop/denial of the first admin.

    Rampant infectious disease, tariffs, and mismanagement on everything are exactly the changes needed to help every American. /s
