i do not understand suing a dairy because you made the unwise decision to purchase and consume raw milk www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2...
A New Smyrna Beach dairy farm was named in a lawsuit filed by a woman who claims she lost her fetus after falling ill while caring for her toddler who became sick after drinking raw, unpasteurized mil...
the other thing is i have just run out of sympathy for these people. "how could i have known that this was bad for me?" i don't know, use your brain.
Somebody stop me before I do something stupid again that everyone warned me about
It's the crowd that "does their own research", which usually means they've trusted quacks posting on FB instead of listening to scientific experts. Until the turn of the 19th century most people died of infectious disease. Humanity has experienced a miracle since then, because of public health.
While you're at it, sue RFK Jr. He's been a big advocate of consuming raw milk.
Also, while you're at it, what about accepting responsibility for your own stupid descisions?
Like anti-vaxxers, these dumbshits always harm other people with their bad choices
Pasteurization of milk is a thing for a reason. People really have no clue. Technology has made people dumb af.
Her poor choices are not our emergency. Sorry about her baby, but take some damn personal responsibility.
Maybe because you're also not dumb enough to think raw milk is a great idea
She should have sued RFK after all if you can’t trust the HHS Secretary on matters of health who can you trust?
Seriously.
I just learned yesterday that selling raw milk for human consumption is ILLEGAL in Florida. Can’t the silly person READ?
i will wager her obstetrician would never have advised her decision to consume raw milk while pregnant. what ever happened to personal responsibility?? suddenly everybody is a victim
in FL i'm surprised they don't charge her with wreckless endangerment of a fetus human
Also, she should sue the organic health food store where she bought it.
I’m ok with suing a company that produces and sells a dangerous product, and promotes it as safe and healthy, even with a small disclaimer that it is not actually safe or healthy.
Darwinism in action.
She may need to sue herself. We were reminded nearly a year ago not to drink raw milk.
And feed it to her kid, who had no choice in the matter.
She should be suing RFK Jr who is telling Americans to drink raw milk.
Sue? She should be on trial for murder if we want to play by their rules. Child endangerment at the very least.
Raw milk that was labeled as for consumption by animals only.
Rachel Maddox launches lawsuit after alleging that she and her toddler became badly ill after coming into contact with bacteria traced back to New Smyrna Beach business by state health officials
“I demand payment for both my neglectful ignorant parenting and also because everyone else is responsible for my choices.”
Stupid people doing stupid things then suing when the leopard eats THEIR face.
what a shit parent. where was the father? that child needs to be placed in a safe environment
Frankly, CPS should take notice.
As dumb as it is, on the bright side, if she wins suing them may reduce the number of companies selling raw milk, right?
Or what if, wait for it, OUR GOVERNMENT REGULATED DAIRY PRODUCERS AND OUTLAWED THE SALE OF RAW MILK.
You know, like a food regulatory agency would do in most of the countries IN THE WORLD.
Lol. She's heard about the DOJ right? LAWLESSNESS. Protecting TRUMP & CO. including JFK JR. who promoted this. Good luck with a law suit.
The cigarette package warns that smoking is addictive & may cause cancer. They smoke. Get addicted. Get cancer. Sue the cigarette co. 🤷♀️
This is why education is important…suing because you’re a moron is, I guess, the American way….
Stop stealing milk from baby cows. Problem solved.
I don’t understand, you don’t feed children Raw pork, Raw Chicken or Beef , why would someone choose to feed them Raw Milk?
JFC they tell you not to eat cold cuts or soft cheese when pregnant; there is zero chance this woman didn’t know on some level what she was doing was dangerous. She just thought those rules were other people.
I guess it depends on the consumer protection laws in her home state.
Even if some are willing to take breath-taking risks, they are entitled to consumer protections per the law.
The bigger issue, imo anyway, is the magical thinking promoted by the trump admin has clear death-murder intent.
I am sorry to say I don't have anything nice to say and so my mom said I shouldn't say anything at all.
Suing RFK Jr. is the more warranted action.
“It’s not MY fault”
Neither will the courts.
If I were defending against this lawsuit, I'd find her school history and prove she's heard of pasteurization.
Are they going to arrest her for child endangerment and fetus murder? Oh that's only if she's not white? Hmm
Nah, I support this. Companies that sell raw milk should be punished legally for the health consequences of their product. The raw milk industry relies on the lie that pasteurized milk is somehow worse or dangerous. That myth needs to be legally debunked.
Did the dairy farm force her buy it? I really don’t care if she sues them, maybe they will stop selling this poison.
These people who drink raw milk need to visit a farm with milk cows where they can see the muck the cows' udders are rubbing in. Contaminated straw, urine, feces. Although farmers have ways to clean the udders, there is going to be a breakthrough. jr. is a Monster.
The dairy said it was for animals. I don't know if it was "wink wink" for animals, but they did have disclaimers.
Cuz it is never “their” fault.
About the equivalency of suing a ranch with Angus cattle because they don't produce chocolate milk
sounds like you need to contact Brain Worm on this one
Unfortunate. I’m sure she has regrets but her lawsuit against the dairy is misplaced. She should sue herself for being so ignorant. Raw milk… is unpasteurized. Hope she has some time now to study up and learn about bacteria, and Louis Pasteur’s scientific breakthrough that has saved so many lives.
If the dairy failed to label the product appropriately, with warnings regarding the risks of drinking "raw milk," they deserve to be sued out of existence.
FAFO!
There is a lot of rubbish talked about raw milk but surely you would read about it before ingesting it, especially if you were pregnant? What an awful loss. I really loathe the charlatans who peddle this crap information. :-(
She should sue RFK Jr. instead
She should sue MAHA RFK Jr for his disinformation as he champions consumption of raw milk.
maybe Bobby Jr. can pay tribute to the deceased fetus and ease the psychic pain of the mother...
She should sue Ladapo and RF'ingK for promoting the idea that Raw Milk is safe.
Talk to RFK
FFS.
What tf do these people think 'raw milk' IS?!
Ffs, they're all the 'I didn't know the face-eating leopards I voted for would eat MY face' meme.
I understand her desire to find a place to lay blame. Trauma does weird things to reason. Doesn't make the claim valid, but I get it.
And yes, this was her choice. If the product was as advertised and not tainted or spoiled..the dairy has no real liability here.
I don't think you can sue someone just because you are stupid!
No, it was her decision. Fucking she should’ve done the research. Idiot fucking probably voted for Trump and listens to RFK Junior, too.
Well, it could be a way to head off having her miscarriage criminally investigated. Florida, after all...
That’s why there are juries.
Yeah. I mean c'mon, the dairy should have done something to kill the harmful bacteria in the milk, instead of doing nothing and charging more for it as they do.
You know, maybe something like the process that French dude, Luis Pasteur invented back in the 1860s.
Just a thought.
What if the dairy failed to maintain sanitation standards required by law?
Entirely her own fault.
This is one of those stories that you can just tell is framed the way it is because the victim is white. If she were any other color we’d either not be hearing the story, or if we did, the framing would almost certainly not be sympathetic to the mother.
📣 Paging HHS secretary RFK Jr.
"I'm the idiot who killed my fetus and nearly killed my toddler and made myself sick because in addition to poor judgment I also have poor hygiene and it's SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT"
So she never heard of pasteurized milk? Was she homeschooled? What surprises me is that a lawyer was stupid enough to take her case. I hope she goes in front of a jury because that decision will take less time that it takes to sit everyone back down. The farm should ask her to pay the legal bills.
My wife and I had a long discussion on this; I place 10x more culpability on the farm, the store, and the lax regulations. But she also opted to give her family something labeled “not for human consumption”. Wife pointed out how many people are scientifically illiterate, and truly did not know risk🤷🏻♂️
Why do people think milk gets pasteurized? To kill most, but not all bacteria! She decided to listen to the lunatics. It’s her own fault.
I think she should sue D.H.H.S
Looks like a desantis moron who lucked out and got her abortion she wanted and a settlement
Ah ha! Perhaps if we start recommending raw milk as an abortifacient we could get the right wing idiots all up in arms? This is why we have labels on products, though it's never a guarantee.
seems like a frivolous lawsuit.. she didn't have to buy the raw milk, nor serve it to her child.
Lack of accountability is rampant amongst Trumpers.
HAVE WE NOT ALL MADE some POOR DECISIONS IN OUR LIVES???? Yes we have::this woman is suffering..have some compassion...
Educate yourself.
Sue the dumbasses on line who encourage people to do this. And the dumbass politicians who encourage it too.
Gee, should I listen to influencers or doctors and science?
Florida law on raw milk. Not legal to sell for human consumption but legal to sell as pet food. She needs to be suing the state unless the dairy farmer didn't label their milk www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/r...
It can be found at multiple farmers markets in Miami-Dade and Broward, with signs clearly marking it's not for human consumption.
It should be thrown out with prejudice.
She should sue RFK & the government for irresponsibility.
because Floriduh
You bought the milk and drank it! All your fault FOOL!
Matthew Kaczmarek should outlaw all milk.
Hey! I remember the true story of an american driver of a house car who thought the car would go by itself while he went away from the controls to make a sandwich and predictable crashed. But he sued the company b/c it was not in the instructions(!) And won(!!!)
PASTEURIZATION

Science is real.
FAFO. She should have bought some Ivermectin from Riley Gaines, she’s selling it for 20% off.
Agree. Also blame on right wing Talk radio and podcasts for allowing nudders like RFK to spread their lies and poison.
Floor-i-DUH!!!
She's the one who made the decision to drink it. Yup, throw out this lawsuit. People don't take personal responsibility anymore. Plus we talked about raw milk and jfk Jr. a lot.
Did people never learn about pasteurization of milk and what purpose it serves?
Stupid woman drank raw milk, fer fuckssake. She should sue RFK jr
She's suing the wrong party. It's Ladapo and Kennedy she needs to go after. Will she prevail? Doesn't matter. They don't need, don't want, but deserve the publicity.
I know of a couple of people she could sue.
Why aren’t the MAGAs yelling for her to be charged with feticide?
Was it marketed and sold in a way that made it seem like it was a product for humans? If so then the stores and the dairy bear a measure of responsibility, and going after them seems like a more effective way to stop this than convincing every nut to change their minds
Willful ignorance….
These dairies do not label the milk for human consumption. It usually says “for animal use only.”
In most states it would be thrown out in an instant. But in Floriduh? Who knows.
This reads like that libertarian/common sense anger at the person burned by hot McDonald’s coffee. There’s a lot not sympathetic about this person but we are so bad at being a society these days we can’t assume they “should’ve” known not to drink this milk if it’s being sold with a wink.
The US is the most litigious nation on earth... you're surprised that someone tries to grift a grifter?
It’s almost like there should be consumer protections enforced by the government to ensure that this doesn’t happen…
Will the state be prosecuting her for murder of her feotus?
This some effed type of entitlement.
Based on FL law, she should be prosecuted for murder. Fuck these stupid people, pay the price they set for Black Americans
@sarahtaber.bsky.social I assume you have seen this?
She didn't even drink it, she was just giving it to her toddler!
Waiting for the incoming ‘go fund me’
Sue RFK, Jr for bad advice
Her supporters claim it is a way to hold raw milk industry to account. The “health food” store lied about the law (only legal for animals). She, of course, ignorantly bought into propaganda. Plenty of blame to go around.
For every grifting nitwit there’s a greedy lawyer. These “did their own research “ fools should not get one dime.
I don’t how this would work, but any attorney who takes a case like this and loses should be disbarred
Maga in a nutshell ⬇️
You’re stupid if you consume any of it!
I'm weirdly ok with this. The regime has destroyed SO. MANY. things that used to protect us, but as long as litigous Americans sue every time they're harmed by something, there will still be SOME accountability...
Part of the Idiocracy: www.yahoo.com/news/califor...
The California raw milk producer who has issued several product recalls for bird flu has has applied for an advisory role at the Food and Drug Administration.
gee-zus .......... the stupidity is breathtaking until the blame starts, and then it is like being trapped in an iron lung.
Looking for a payday
Seems like there’s enough blame to go around given so called trusted institutions are now touting its benefits
She wants to drink unprocessed milk but WITHOUT any bacteria. Go figure 🤔
I can see the argument that she was playing with fire by having it around at all, but all the same it still disturbs me how many journalists and pundits have shared this while stating she consumed the milk when the story they're sharing makes it very clear she didn't.
Why? Because you can. There is a long track record of juries siding with injured "victims," even if the injury is substantially self-inflicted and the evidence that the plaintiff was unaware of the consequences of their actions is flimsy.
In FL, however, this case might not gain traction.
It's worse - she fed it to her SON. If that isn't child abuse, what is?
Personal responsibility is a foreign concept to these people, unless it’s somebody else.
Don’t drink raw milk.
Should be suing RFK jrs brain worm
Things that happen to you when the regulated convince you regulations are the problem.
Beyond fucking stupid and the # of dumbfuck parents giving this to their children is fucking abuse.
I'm going to sue that rattlesnake that bit me when I tried to pick it up.
I see for the purposes of this story-she lost the "fetus'" How is it that she's not been arrested or under investigation for loss of the "baby?"
Interesting comments. I didn't know that "raw milk" was one of their things, but that tracks. Pasteurization is bad like vaccines...🙄 If this happened bc she threw common sense out the window and followed her cult...or to abort the baby, (also suggested) it's on her. Sure she had Dr advice not taken
RFK Jr killed that fetus with the mother's help🧐😒
A story with 2 bad guys.
I broke my foot carrying laundry down the stairs of my apartment building. The guy across the hall from me, immediately suggested I sue the landlord. I replied 'Why? Because I'm a dork?'. Also, what kind of lawyer would take a losing case like this? (jk, I know)
no sympathy for willfully ignorant and arrogant imbeciles
IMO, this is a good thing, actually; absent laws against it places still should be unwilling to sell raw milk due to potential liability. Also according to this story the store basically lied to her about it.
Excuse me while I look for my laugh emoji.
Sounds like a sneaky abortion to me
I don’t understand burning down your own apartment building because you hate a few neighbors.
Americans are trash.
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo wrote Tuesday, “Floridians have the freedom to make informed health choices. I support the decision to consume raw milk when sought for potential health benefits and protective factors. Be aware of your source and know the risks.”
This motherfucker here . .
Insane that she's not been arrested yet. She surely knew the risks of ingesting raw milk.😒
Perhaps… it’s natural selection…
Just the beginning of fatalities thanks to RFKjr, his buddies and people who don’t do research
I feel this lawsuit could be settled by literally reading the wikipedia of Louis Pasteur. Are we great again yet?
#FAFO
it's NEVER MAGA folk's fault. Ever. Accountability is a word they clearly don't understand
just wait til the anti-vax folks and their kids start droppin' dead from diseases they could have been safe from.
Dairy should sue her!!!
This is in Florida - I would not be surprised if she was charged with murder. Then again, they'd have to acknowledge that drinking raw milk is dangerous in order to charge her for knowingly drinking a dangerous substance. Either way, she is dumb and should not have kids.
She should sue RFK Jr.
The Meta corporation would be higher on my list of who to sue.
I'm no lawyer, but I don't think she's got much of case...
Better to sue Secretary Kennedy
"I petted the leopard and it BIT me!!!"
They want the freedom to do whatever they want, and also the freedom from responsibility for their actions
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
She should call out the propagandists who were promoting it, like RFK Jr and MTG. Even as professionals said it was unsafe and unhealthy.
Hmmm, ever heard of Pasteurization?! 🙄🤫
Louis Pasteur would agree
I didn't understand that hot coffee from McDonald’s either. What did they think?
I'm having a difficult time conjuring up a lot of sympathy for people who ignore facts, science, common sense and blame others for the consequences.
she wasn’t drinking the milk she was giving it to her 2yr old who became so ill was hospitalized, she caught the bacteria from cleaning up the vomit & such from that child, of the reported cases in FL just under half are kids under 10-the milk is labeled as ‘for consumption only by animals’
I agree but as a 🇩🇪 I also don't understand how you can sue a company for providing hot coffee 🤔
idiots do things like this. lemme guess: She’s also an anti vax trump voter.
tHeY ToLd mE iT wAs oK
I think this lawsuit is also a CYA due to FL abortion laws
And if the suit is successful, they'll be scared (or forced by insurance companies) into only selling something called pasteurized milk.
An der eigenen Dummheit sind die anderen Schuld. Tja.
Half a country made up of total morons...
The US is not what it once pretended to be:
An advanced nation.
I mean, she's dumb, but I hope she wins and it makes it effectively illegal to sell raw milk, which it should be
Stupidity can often be complicated.
Because we are a litigious society who refuses to take responsibility for our own actions. It all started with hot coffee actually being…well…HOT! 😡😡😡
She should be suing RFK Jr. Seriously, why does the generic brain damaged Temu Kennedy have to be the only one that survived..
she listens to RFK?? too fking bad
Another case of “killing your kids to own the libs.” 🙄
Legal liability for companies selling raw milk is a good thing, even if their customers should know better. If this kind of thing makes dairies think twice before selling it in the future I'll take it.
Did they hold her down and force her to drink it?
suing people because you're an idiot is the American way.
She should sue RFK Jr 🤢
Nope. But neither do I have any sympathy for the farm trying to turn a profit by selling it. Stupid people making stupid decisions all around. They can have each other.
Make stoopid choices get stoopid results. Frivolous lawsuits should be loser pays ALL legal fees incurred.
So.. you ingested raw milk, unpasteurized while preggers? GENIUS.
Everyone feels someone else is at fault when they make stupid decisions. Lawyers depend on it.
If anything, she should sue RFKJr
#FAFO It can be dangerous 🤷🏻♀️
