So "raw milk" is just unpasteurized milk. The pasteurization process is just heating milk to kill the bacteria and other contaminates.

The argument is that the pasteurization process,

(A) changes the taste, which is generally true although which one is "better" is going to come down to personal preference.

(B) kills the "good bacteria". AFAIK there is no data to support that claim. The idea being that if you are never exposed to bacteria your immune system is weaker. That does have some supporting data. However raw milk just isn't really the best way to go about it and the contaminates that survive in milk, things like Bird Flu (H5N1), are not worth the risk.

Extending that I'm sure there is an idea that "raw milk" is natural. And my father, fathers father, fathers fathers father, etc didn't pasteurize their milk and they turned out just fine. This of course ignores all the people who died and the fact that as a result of things like pasteurization we (society as a whole) are healthier/less sick.

(C) is a requirement of the government and the government can't tell me what to do. I don't know how big this crowd is, but whenever there is a rule, someone is probably trying to break it. If you passed a law saying "Don't eat dirt" I'm sure someone would get on TV and eat dirt.

In general, for the individual, there isn't really a big problem with drinking raw milk. If you find a reputable seller you probably won't get sick and you probably won't die. But if everyone drank raw milk we'd likely see an increase in the spread of diseases and long term that leads to an increase in death.

The fix (pasteurization) is simple and easy. Milk as a flavor is... fine. There are lots of foods out there that I want to find the best version of, milk isn't one of them.

Great start and I can already tell 7 episodes aren't going to be enough, so looking forward to seeing these characters in future seasons and/or live action.

I've read other folks though the first episode didn't do enough but they were hooked by the second, but I thought it was a nice way to establish things before kicking off the core of the show.

Also one time reminder we're doing weekly discussion threads over in [email protected] , https://lemmy.world/post/22780551

You know it! Correct!

(Touch of death noises)

The first episode of always an establishment episode, I liked it, but I agree two is best.

I like the eternal battle between the Frankensteins, and next week we get the G I Robot backstory it seems.

Weasels killing of 30+ children will be an interesting backstory. I think the funniest version will just be, yeah, he did.

Fun first episode.

References to "The Suicide Squad" and "Peacemaker" season 1. About 2 years have passed.

I like the already chaotic world we're in with Themiscyra and the guards with guns in their arms.

Also G I Robot reciting killed Nazi's is great.

I listened to my heart and not the voices in my head to determine your correctness, unlike a certain uncle one grey December morn.

We definitely need a time jump.

But also the actions of high school students vs college students changes the show A LOT.

I don't like the idea of Milhouse having two spaghetti dinners in one week.

Correct!

And a dog driving a bus.

Just watched the two episode premiere, so one episode more than this review, and I'm intrigued by the story so far. I think it could be a fun little mystery story.

I'll certainly keep watching, but it doesn't seem like a show you HAVE to tune into every week, just one where you'll catch it when you do.
