Try listening to the Behind The Bastards podcast about this guy if you can spare the time.

He is messed up far more than you think.

Raw milk is totally safe....if the cow is totally healthy and if there aren't pathogens floating around the cow.

I mean, my friend next door used to drink off the cows's teats. His Mom would scold him for it, but he did it to show off. We used to milk their three "city cows". Literally the cows would sleep in their garage and then walk to pasture on an every day basis. They would get milked every morning and we would walk to their house and buy a couple of liters from them. Sometimes cheese or bulgaros yogurt.

Everyone loved the cows. They smelled like cows but you could safely pet them and not expect feces on your hands.

The cows we get milk from are all rolling around in feces in confined space and they eat dry moldy feed. Like that stuff is total animal abuse and prone to end up giving someone a cow Bourne disease of some kind.

My neighbors also had pigs and we had pigs. That is why we never ate pig... cows are clean compared to pigs. Pigs will eat bugs smeared in pig feces. That is not normal really because pigs in the wild, although dirty, do not just swim in their feces like captive pigs do. If you ever want to go vegan for whatever reason, visit a captive pig farm. Learn that smell....then go to the butcher shop's trash bin and learn that smell...then realize that when you get your meat in your fridge, the death smell is what you're smelling. Makes me wanna puke 🤮 just thinking about it. And if your neighbors ever killed a pig, you would know it. Pigs don't go down easy. That's one positive thing I can definitely say about pigs. They know you're gonna kill them and they scream like anyone would....as in a person. It churns you inside out hearing that scream and then when it stops you know it happened. Pigs don't go down quietly.

Anyway don't eat animals, but if you're gonna eat milk or dairy, make sure it's pasteurized! Any well understood retarded person like myself could agree 💯👍.

[–] MintyAnt@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yeah the state of factory dairy's... You want that shit pasteurized. Feces everywhere. Cows have all kinds of diseases. Filthy environment. It all gets killed or deactivated by pasturing.

Let's see here, RFK wants to ban vaccines and promote raw milk.
There is currently a bird flu epidemic in dairy cattle from bird droppings getting into the feed.
Consuming raw milk is one of the few ways humans can become infected with bird flu.
I'm sure this will be fine and the virus won't mutate to allow for human to human transfer, it if it does luckily it only has a 56% mortality rate compared to the Covid morality rate of ~4% during its peak.

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 103 points 2 days ago (3 children)

RFK is secretly a flu virus wearing a human suit.

In the US, right now, the dairy farms where they let the cats drink raw milk saw half their cats die.

This is an actual thing.

Edit based on comments below: The context of this thread is concerning hi path AI. I should have been more clear. I am referring to dairy farms where the cows have hi path AI and the cats drink raw milk.

However it is impossible to tell if your raw milk is infected with hi path AI, so to the readers of this who are really in to drinking raw milk, I wish you luck.

What I'm reading is that they want to foster the greatest source of bankruptcies in the US, healthcare costs, while lowering the living standards to turn the US into a "third world shithole country". For added irony, while also having an oligarch who had to migrate away from his home country for contributing to do the same in their birth country and not being able to reap what they sowed, just to end up doing the same in their new country.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

With any luck MAGAts will self-select in removing themselves like they did during COVID.

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's also stupid expensive.

I'm fairly certain, they just all got together to make a list of all the stupid things they could do to own the libs.

The neat thing about this one, is that It only hurts the people that are going to follow him. The people who didn't vote for that side know better.

It's such a shame that so many of his health propositions have small bits of truth associated with them, yet because he lacks the true in depth look at a given topic he falls short of an overall good view. Listening to him talk about scientific research on Rogan was fucking excruciating.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

It's all based on superstition, prejudice and quackery. The man's a con artist.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

If I and my friends and family could be certain of getting immunized against the inevitable H5N1 pandemic, this wouldn't bother me so much. But RFK jr. will combat the flu with honey and whole grains and the death toll will make Covid look like a cold. Thinning the herd. Maybe we'll get lucky and RFK jr & Trump and his true believers will get it first.

trump's appointments are in the style "Who is the worst person i know for the job that lives inside my colon?"

if Pablo Escobar was still alive, he'd probably have been appointed head of the DEA

At least it isn't a contagion no? Like it's only the ones who drink it raw who are at risk. If so, have at it conservatives, drink all the bleach and raw milk you want

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Like it’s only the ones who drink it raw who are at risk.

TB is contagious. So no.

[–] boomzilla@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

Nope it's the worst time in history to advise raw milk. Millions of wild life birds and livestock is dying around the world right now because of H5N1. Human cases (allegedly mild) are ramping up already although they don't know/say if they are human to human transmissions. IIRC the CDC found viral material in raw milk and strongly advised to only drink pasteurized mild.

[–] FarFarAway@startrek.website 8 points 1 day ago

Depends on how the bird flu feels about that...

[–] kometes@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

In 2025, how many children will die from raw milk?

[–] buttfarts@lemy.lol 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That doesn't matter. What matters is that they get their way. We have to just sit on our hands and let them hurt enough people to make MAGAs switch allegiances. Or just let them keep killing people until there aren't enough functional MAGAs left to make any meaningful opposition.

There is no point to argue with them. Just let them do it.

I just hope they have the raw milk distribution set up to go live nationwide at the same time. I want all the people excited for this to get it, and enjoy it for as long as possible before the news gets to them.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Unpasteurised milk drank at cow temperature ‘can’ be fine - depending on the cow, milker and drinker. It’s ludicrous to even suggest it could be safely distributed nationally in the US. He’s an absolute lunatic - and so is anyone who buys it.

I drank raw milk visiting my in-laws farm. Not my favorite, but their are some risks.

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 4 points 1 day ago

There is a difference doing it on the farm where it's only up to some hours old and from the shop where god knows how long it was sitting somewhere without refrigeration.
