The raw milk people are hilarious. All you have to do is meet one (1) cow and smell the situation in which they are producing that rawness and you will pasteurize everything you own for a week

My highschool used to have a dairy farm next to it and the smell... Unbearable.
Cows are cool, but yeah I'd never drink raw milk.

These raw milk people have been fed longstanding ideals of Heidi and The Yearling. Some other sanitized version of farming and the herding of cows for milking: saturday morning Lil Rascals; Bugs Bunny; The Rifle Man. They have no analytical or critical thinking skills, or objective knowledge. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

We had 1 cow; dad would wash her udder/nipples before milking her, and he always poured the milk through cheese cloth, then pasteurized it before we drank it. (1970s)
-
Seen this first hand and its distressing the amount of actual shit is involved
-
Will insurance cover the big hospital bills? Will insurance sue the farm to end raw milk.! 161 degrees for 30 seconds saves lives! Lies are killing kids and elderly!
-
Grew up on a farm. Not only did we heat our milk for over a half hour before consumption, we even boiled the jars we put it in afterwards because raw milk is nasty.
-
I wonder if they would reconsider if they visited a farm and saw just how nasty cows are.
-
tbf, to me it's all milk people.
-
They have no idea how much feces theyโre consuming. They would be bleaching their mouths for certain if they only knew.๐๐คฃ๐

Let's consider that dairy cows are almost certainly the most poorly treated animal in a factory farm system and that the cows most people CAN go see are almost certainly cleaner than the cows in an industrial scale dairy operation.
-
I see people say "the problem is factory farming, not raw milk. you have to get it from small family dairies". As someone involved in farm animal rescue who grew up in rural dairy country in Vermont: small dairies are not automatically cleaner or more humane than factory farms. Many are much worse.
-
Just yesterday I passed a dairy farm here in Wisconsin, and the cows were packed in together so tightly each individual had just maybe a foot or two of wiggle room to move around in. Somehow this is considered acceptable and totally humane.
-
Always makes me think of that Flannery OโConnor short story The Enduring Chill where the guy gets undulant fever from obstinately drinking unpasteurized milk
-
I went to a cider-pressing party in my city neighborhood, with people's donated garden fruit. It was fun, and I pasteurized the apple juice when I got home! (Hosts had a lot of dogs). Grew up in farm country, dated a hog farmer, frequent fair goer, raised city chickens.
-
Luckily, we mammals have zero need to steal the milk of others.
No other mammal does it.
Animal milk is not good for usโand itโs an environmental catastrophe.

In the current version of โAll Creatures Great and Smallโ they address the question of โshould we test cows for TB since it can transmit to humans through their milk?โ. So Iโm going to stick with pasteurized milk, thanks. Thatโs not the only deadly disease you can get from raw milk!
-
Girl you didnโt have to drag them ๐ซถ๐ผ
-
And they are never cleaned.
There is a bar that makes a big circle along the bottom of the stalls and its only purpose is to push shit into a pile. I asked if they ever do a deep clean and the farmer said "We could spend a week scrubbing this place down and it would be just as dirty within hours"
-
Oh, you've been to Wisconsin...
And you are so right on this. Farmers have to wash the udders before milking. But having seen cows from all angles, I don't think they can ever be clean enough.
-
I grew up on a dairy farm, and know the anatomy of cows quite well. I would never drink unpasteurized milk. Check a picture of a cow...
-
Show me a raw milk fan and Iโll show you someone who has never seen a farm.
-
I drank raw milk as a child.
My grandpa milked the cow and the โsanitationโ process consisted of straining the pail full of milk through a tea towel.
-
Used to drink raw goat's milk for years but I milked them myself ( I was goat sitting for only a few) and understood the process. Wouldn't now because of bird flu.
-
Let them go in peace. The cows will survive.
-
๐ True.

Cows are smelly-- I was a little sad to go to a dairy recently and see they had that in their case. My friend used to have milk cows and ridiculed the idea of 'fresh milk.' Dairy farmers never want that. He let us taste it. Didn't know about the danger. He drank pasteurized. Cows were sweet though!
-
My dad has fond memories of going to the farm with his friends as a kid to get milk fresh from the cow. After telling us this he was like "that was so nasty, it's a miracle none of us died."
-
Pasteurized, hell; irradiate!
-
It's like, tell me you've never been to a dairy farm without telling me you've never been to a dairy farm.
-
I was a farm boy around 14yo. Cows smells big time. This helped me to stop biting my nails.
-
One of the downsides to modern society is that we protect stupid people too much. If the anti-vaxers/raw milk enthusiasts want to remove themselves and their families from the gene pool, then let them do it.

Facts says a farmerโs granddaughter ๐๐
-
And to be perfectly honest, the ladies deserve a thousand times better than to be subjected to much. These are no longer farms.
-
Hell I milked a goat in a relatively clean and nice farm situation where it was basically a pet, pasteurized milk only omg what is wrong with those people omg
-
I went to a cute highland cow farm where they let you pet the baby cows
The farmer was like
Idk what to do w all their shit I can sell it but while I arrange that itโs ok this shit mountain the cows are walking in

๐ฏ oh my godโฆbeen thereโฆtotally agree
-
There must be a reason lactose intolerance is the normal state of affairs for humans.
-
There are many zoonotic diseases that are transmitted directly from cattle to humans.
Milk is blended into a huge batch from thousands of cows.
Milk is a perfect environment for bacteria to grow.
The probability of one of these cows having a transmissible disease is pretty darned high.
-
Yeah, I really need to build up my immunity to e-coli ๐ send it RFKjr's way.
-
I had the fortune, to lived by a small (20+) dairy farm, where we could get raw, cooled milk. But I would prefer any pasteurized milk over raw milk in the US because of the sheer size of those 10-20.000 cows dairy farms.

They are vile people who rarely shower, I know the type. Working in stables shoveling shit.

I think they just need to drink raw milk for a day and like, near instantly contract a dangerous disease. The guy who celebrated getting it legalised drank raw milk on stage and then had to be wheeled to a hospital afterwards.

My friend once brought me to his uncleโs dairy farm and we went into the cow barn where they were milking them and what they donโt prepare you for is that there are trenches running under the rows of cows into which flows rivers of cow piss and shit. The smell was so bad that I literally screamed

as someone who has worked milking cows you are 1,000% correct.

If they want raw milk it should have to be unfiltered too.

I maintain that making every American work one (1) day in a slaughterhouse would be enough to cut meat consumption in this country in half.

As someone who grew up next to Amish farms, I wholeheartedly agree.

Used to live near a small dairy. Used to go buy fresh milk, butter, & cheese all the time.
ALL OF IT WAS ULTRA PASTEURIZED!
Driving up their driveway, you could see the lakes of manure pits, & ofc smell it from miles away
It was only 30 cows. And like 30 acres of lake!
Raw? It's a BIG NOPE!!
-
Agree. However, raw milk consumption is possible if you buy it from a local producer, with a few animals, and they are licensed & inspected. Also, raw goats milk is better than cows & tends to be safer. Large operations with lots of animals, living in poop, will not work out well,
-
I live on a dairy farm (tenant, not farmer). You can not touch your car door without sanitising them afterwards. This is because you drive thru shit to get on/off the property. 35% of the heifers are lame which mean they lay down in their own shit (udders all over that floor). They are not washed.
-
I honestly like cows and have cousins with cows and other livestock, and Iโve spent time with and taken care of said cows.
I still felt like pasteurize my whole body every time I had to do anything with those dopey, friendly, stinky ass cows.

Itโs amazing to me that these folks seem to think that 150 years ago, people were healthier because they lived off the land.
Not realizing that everything was fucking filthy people didnโt bathe daily. There were lice, rotten teeth, scabs, and all kinds of shit. The good days right ?
-
Raw milk people are perfect end results of being so far removed from the source of food production. I was a farm kid raised on milk and meat straight from the tap. My result was to become a vegetarian who hasn't drank milk in years.
-
The funniest thing I learned recently is that pretty much every raw milk recipe starts with "boil the milk".
-
When I was a child we spent our holidays at my aunt's farm. We always drank milk directly off the cow there. My father did that as a child, too. Nothing happened so far.
-
The only milk I regularly drink is the ultra high temperature pasteurized milk from Costco. An 8 oz aseptic package is enough for a nice bowl of cereal.

Hahahahahaha. So true!!!!

Right!? Humans shouldnโt be drinking cowโs milk AT ALL! ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
-
I had a warning on my phone the other day that was like "People in your area have consumed this product and are sick now" and I read further and saw that it was raw milk. Just like, yeah... it's raw milk. That makes sense that people are sick after consuming it.

Gosh, I just learned from John Greenโs Everything is Tuberculosis that TB was transmitted from unpasteurized cow milk to childrenโฆ infecting their BONES (since TB is a bacteria, not a virus, it just goes wherever it wants).
-
I donโt know how it is in other states, but in FL the raw milk sold by stores literally has a big sticker on it that states โnot safe for human consumptionโ.
-
Or more likely quit drinking milk altogether.
-
I mean, cow milk is so easily contaminated by cow poop precisely because calves need to get their startup population of symbiotic gut bacteria so they can be weaned onto grass and not starve. Humans, however, do not benefit from cow poop bacteria.
It's insane people don't get this in 2025.
-
I'm a grocery manager and I won't even drink other milk out of a case that has raw milk in it.
-
Let them drink the raw milk, it's natural selection ๐คฃ
-
It's not cow poop that makes raw milk dangerous. It's poor animal husbandry that does that. In an industry where cutting corners makes money you'd want to know the farmer really well before you drink his milk raw. It does taste better raw but is it worth the risk?
-
Way back somebody put a glass window to see inside of one of a cow's stomachs. (They have two). I am not making this up. youtu.be/b7TY9t0VBxU?...

I donโt even drink cow milk anymore. Oat milk for me. I do eat cheese. Do not take that away from me please - that is about 90% of the protein I ingest. (The other 10% is bacon).

When I lived in Pennsylvania, I lived on a dairy farm. The stench was horrible and the conditions were worse. Let them drink their raw milk; when they canโt afford health care because ๐ต๐๐ฅ๐ฎ took away their Medicaid, they will be most unhappy! Thoughts and prayers, muthafuckahs!

The raw milk people seem to think we started pasteurizing milk for no real reason, or just for evil's sake.
-
The way I explained it to a co-worker is that if you have a cow and you milk it and you just immediately drink it, it's probably fine. But if you do not know the cow by name, don't drink raw milk from it.

Raw milk is okay if you heat it up to kill the bacteria. /s

Oat milk is the way

Cows are nasty.

I grew up in the town that had the largest dairy in the US. Cows outnumbered people at least 10:1. I used to joke that you could smell the county before you saw it.
-
Lol! Hand them a bucket and a stool to sit on while they milk that beast for themselves. Canโt get more raw than that, and a lot less sanitary.
-
I'm fine with Darwin sorting these people out.
-
I went to a dairy in MN that had a carousel set up for milling cows. It was really interesting and pretty gross because the cows shit a lot while being milked and guys just spray it down through the grated floor.

No idea if mum boiled it before we drank it cold. Probably. She and dad were diligent farmers

It's so disgusting, like give me that good bean or nut milk. Almonds don't shit all over themselves. Soy beans aren't horrifically abused. No one is forcefully impregnating coconuts and ripping their babies away to get that milk. Plant milk all day every day.

I'm just a nerd who knows enough science and history to know why pasteurization was invented in the first place.
And no, it wasn't some evil conspiracy to deprive hippies of a wholesome organic experience and mystical pseudo-nutrients.

Maybe we should start calling it โshit milk.โ Accurate and unappealing.

I am a huge fan of pasteurization and indoor plumbing. Yay for shit removal!

I wonder how many of these raw milkers have ever seen a cow in real life?

We might all have to switch to soy milk, anyway. All the (wet, cold, dangerous) physical labor in dairy farms in Upstate NY is done by Latino immigrants currently being kidnapped/terrorized by ICE.

I said as much on TT (I live in an area full of dairy farms so I see them daily) and some guy was like, โMaybe the farmers should wash the cows more often.โ I didnโt have the heart to explain how that is not as feasible as he thinks it is.

But in the good old days people are natural food and lived to the ripe old age of famine.

Yeah, having milked cows I can assure you that I'll never drink raw milk.

Like Sarah Taber said: it's udder is halfway between its asshole and the ground.

Or better yet stop consuming dairy entirely

Can't wait for a tradwife type to start with, "I don't believe in pasteurization, but to keep my children safe, I just boil it at home."

SO TRUE. Growing up my mom tried to poison us with raw milk. Later I married a microbiology professor to show her what's what. Some of us are smarter than our parents. Moo. (Also don't touch any dairy now lol)

I grew up in South Jersey, which, believe it or not, still has farms... including dairy farms.
They had stores with fresh product.

When drinking raw milk, remember you're also drinking 3 Ps: piss, pus, and poo

I think it was @sarahtaber.bsky.social that pointed out the fundamental problem with cows. Unlike in humans, the boobs are in between the butt and the ground.
-
I visited the most pristine possible small family dairy - my kiddo loves the farmer and her ice cream. As she showed off the milking "robot" the cow (grass fed, happy) took a dung covered hoof and kicked off the milker. It reattached and kept going without rewashing the teat. Pasteurization FOREVER!
-
If you've ever driven through California's central valley, you can smell Cowschwitz from miles away.

In modern dairy farming, cows are literally forced to lie down in their own shit, & their teats are contaminated in their own e-coli bacteria. You would have to be insane to drink their non-Pasteurised milk.

seeing stories out of FL about illnesses... and honestly finding it pretty funny, since these folks aren't just shooting themselves in the foot by drinking raw milk, they're shooting themselves in the foot against medical advice

It's so funny that they think they're closer to nature. As a leftist I have been on sheep and cattle farms, I'm now around domestic and wild animals in captivity.

-
People be acting like they do not watch The Hoof GP
-
Just thinking logically, do people think an industry which is focused on profit is going to add this huge expense of pasteurizing milk just for the fun of it. They are doing it because they don't want to be sued into oblivion from giving food poisoning to customers or in the worst case death.

It's poop. Raw milk is poop soup. I can barely eat standard packaged dairy like yogurt and cheese knowing how much yuck is in unpasteurized dairy. ๐คข Nasty. And I think cheese is delicious and cows are adorable weird creatures who do a great job nursing their calves. But we are not calves. So ๐
