Crazy how if it was any democrat saying drink raw milk s/he would likely be accused of a conspiracy in which he is trying to spread bird flu so they can have another pandemic and vaccine manufacturers make money out of it. But when a republican says it, s/he is probably celebrated for using the wisdom of our grand grand parents.
I'm told that if you mix in some bleach, it'll "do a tremendous number" on the pathogens.
Am i seeing this right, that you can buy raw milk in grocery stores? What the fuck?
Raw milk gets bad way to fast in order to sell it in a grocery store.
Louis Pasteur is rolling in his grave, watching them raw milk drinkers.
America, home of the brave and land of fucking around and finding out.
Slow pastuerization kills the same amount of microbes as flash... without killing all the flavor of the milk.
But it takes longer, so it's not good for business
Wonder if they tried heating the milk up to 63 degrees C for 30 mins before consumption?
Maybe that would help.
Nah just add a little ivermectin and you're good!
Why would you say crazy, nonsense things like that?
Sorry, I am out of line.
But I do think it could catch on.
I'm cool with idiots who don't know any better getting what's coming to them... but I'm not really cool with them sneezing on the same door handles I turn.
Except the same people end up serving it to their kids
Weird. I thought they were anti-abortion.
Fun fact:
The dairy was fined in 2023 for a Salmonella outbreak and is very militantly anti-government.
The why seems pretty clear.
I wish they would irradiate it instead of boiling. Irradiation is completely safe and preserves the nutritional benefits. But the raw milk people are generally opposed to that, and irradiation has a PR problem. Sadness.
Pasteurization doesn't boil the milk though.....
UHT does, 140C for 2-5 seconds. Shelf-stable without refrigeration for up to nine months unless you open it.
Frankly speaking the difference between milk from cows with good diet vs. from cows fed protein slop is greater than between the modes of processing.
Still have PTSD from my mother feeding me raw milk -- unlike in the US it's legal here, also heavily regulated so it wasn't a health risk microbiology-wise but boy am I sensitive to even slight off-tastes in milk because yes you're going to interrupt the cooling chain and no that fridge doesn't have 8C. Unless you're a cheesemaker or such and it's necessary for the process, stay away from raw.
And, no, it doesn't have health benefits. Maybe if your kid doesn't play outside in the mud and the milk is the only source of germs they're exposed to, then it may help them to not develop autoimmune disorders. Be sane, choose mud over milk.
Only time I've had raw milk was when I was a kid and visited farming friends, since they had a pitcher in the fridge from that days milking. They used it in cooking usually, but it wasn't that bad to drink.
The laws regarding cow and milk health is way different in Sweden that most other countries though, very strict routines around testing. We can eat raw eggs from the store.
Eggs and birds:
You know that exact kind of thing is why you're known as arrogant swots all over Europe, don't you? Do you google whether Denmark has safe tap water before going on ølviking?
If I'm in Denmark to drink beer I take the custom where I am. If the tap water isn't good, I drink something else.
In my town we had a huge outbreak of cryptosporidium which poisoned all tap water in the city, so no matter regulations no place is guaranteed safe. That's why you test stuff. If anyone find unhealthy results you need to contain, treat and inform to minimize damage and exposure risk
The reason we are known as arrogant swots is probably not our husbandry rules but our foreign policies that can be naive or straight up delusional (such as thinking chat control is net positive).
I don't really know though since I have no possibility to leave my farm to travel, neither in time or monetary capabilities
Well yes that's another reason but trust me when I say that you're not the only European country with standards for milk and eggs. There's nothing to brag about. Also, do you even raw pork.
What nutritional benefits does it preserve exactly?
Does it taste different? Of raw milk tastes different than pasteurized milk than radiated milk might taste different too.
It taste differently and it usually hasnt gone through the separation of cream from the milk so it has high fat content and sometimes fat drops on the surface
I also imagine on the company side it's probably more expensive to do that rather than just making it hot enough.
I bet the solution is so fast, it’s past your eyes before you know it.
Edit: for anybody who is hearing impaired.
