After surviving one pandemic, it's totally fair that some of us are a bit wary of raw milk now because multiple places have found bird flu in it. Judging us in the way you are isn't okay.

There was panic about raw milk looonnnggg before Covid. And I if you had read what I wrote, I did say pasteurization IS a good thing and I'm all for it. But it's just not the evil most think it is.

But judging bluewing... totally ok?

More importantly: how are they judging again?

How was I judging? I was defending those of us who are concerned about the whole raw milk having bird flu thing. I was simply saying that those of us with concerns are valid in our feelings.

If you read all of bluewing's comments, the tone comes off, imo, as talking down to those of us who are concerned. Bluewing grew up on a dairy drinking raw milk every day and didn't get sick and seems to be exuding a sense of superiority because of it.. I also grew up on raw milk and didn't get sick from it. Doesn't make me less concerned over bird flu lol

And yet they specifically acknowledged the importance of pasteurization, etc, while simply saying in the right setting raw milk is tasty. That's not judging that's simply providing their perspective.

You are being overly sensitive and... IMO & LOL, "exuding a sense of superiority". Don't take it too seriously but I always find that basic hypocrisy - and I acknowledge we all do it - just so hilarious.
