Who in this day and age wouldn't drink pasteurised milk?

Besides like, properly stupid people, or people who think it'll give them religious powers and other such nutters.

Those who take horse medication to fire COVID... probably

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is likely more in the crunchy, no measles vax set of dipshits, not MAGA.

[–] maniel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

i'd bet the Venn diagram of both groups would overlap in more than 90%

dad, no!

"Yes, son! I can't fulfill my destiny as Mooman any other way..."

The Meatcanyon videos will be glorious.

The word you’re looking for is dipshits.

Yeah, we've got those who promise themselves health benefits from drinking raw milk. I have the impression that this is mostly prevalent in esoteric people, as usual with such stuff.

But such beneficial claims of raw milk consumption appear to be not scientifically sound and are a myth.

esoteric people

Believe it or not, they have dictionaries online now.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn't "esoteric people" an accurate description?

[–] AnxiousOtter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Eh. It would imply those people are mysterious or difficult to understand. They're not, they're just stupid.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Hm okay. English is not my native language. I've checked this with a dictionary and found it to be an adequate description, even discussed this with ChatGPT. It pointed out that this can also be understood in the way you've described it.

What I meant were people who practise in esotericism, like briefly described here. Besides "stupid", what do you suggest to describe such people?

Also, thanks for pointing that out!

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

properly stupid people

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Who drinks milk at all? I get a giant zit immediately after having some.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I'm lactose intolerant but I use a little bit of lactose-free, 0% fat milk for my coffee in the morning because the alternatives (almond or oat milk) just don't taste as good with coffee.

[–] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Just drink it black. After two cups you get used to it.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It depends if you like coffee, or coffee flavored milkshakes.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Hmm, put that way, most definitely the milkshake. I'm not sure I even like coffee, it provides a break at work and energy in the morning, with enough milkshake ingredients of course.

[–] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Fair point but when you drink it black you don't need to bother with the overly processed milk anymore

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hey look some who thinks pasteurized milk is "overly processed"!

[–] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

"lactose free 0% fat milk"

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Then you just have the overly-processed coffee.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 weeks ago

And? Adding overly-processed milk to overly-processed coffee cancels out the processing or something? Don't drink it then.

[–] bananabenana@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's really brand dependant. Honestly recommend trying brands till you find a good couple. Some oat and almond are smooth AF. I like Vitasoy and So Good, for example. Not a shill, just took brute forcing brands.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

If it’s ultra pasteurized you should be fine, but as in all things, do your own personal threat analysis.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Half & half in coffee. We go very unprocessed and cook in my household. So I buy half and half which is just milk and cream. It’s delicious in coffee. It’s also ultra pasteurized. A little heat in the name of microbe death is great.

Apart from that, milk is a cooking ingredient. Again, ultra pasteurized.

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Growing up I used to down pints of milk, couldn't get enough of the stuff

[–] Lennny@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Raw milk is silly....but also, now are the banned cheeses unbanned? Probably not cazu whatever the fuck, the Sardinian maggot cheese but there's stuff like brie, but raw, that's apparently yummy.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Someone commented on Lemmy a whole ago that cheese with raw milk is different. Coles notes is the good bacteria out-competes the bad ones.

[–] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've seen Europeans make the fact that Americans don't generally drink unpasteurized milk into a "yanks dumb" thing

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

You can buy unpasteurized milk in europe in a supermarket ?

[–] DaBPunkt@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Seeing the other post about France: It depends on the country. In Germany you can't (only direct at the farm). Saw a documentary some weeks ago about Spain where they said that it is also forbidden (the journalist wanted to drink raw camel milk).

[–] DaBPunkt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Just re-checked: In theory you can buy raw milk in Germany in a supermarket. It is called "Vorzugsmilch" then. But I never saw any.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

yes, filtered but not pasteurized (France)
