These raw milk fools never learn. Raw milk has always been dangerous. Now even more dangerous. Avoid raw milk.

You say that like it's a way tuberculosis spreads.

You say that like it's a way to get infections from Campylobacter, E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella, Brucella, and Cryptosporidium

That's just a bunch of big science words for "exotic", doesn't exotic milk sound delicious? I'll drink my wild and untamed milk that is free from all the rules society uses to make it boring and safe. And since even I'm not sure if this is coming across sarcastic, /s. And for good measure, /poe's.

Don't forget Baccilus cereus and Clostridium perfringens.

Although the abdominal cramps and extreme diarrhea might be considered a normal day for those morons.

That's not the virus, that's my lactose intolerance when I'm eating a liter of ice cream

Avoid animal agriculture in general

Commenters in here fully on board with advocating against raw milk because they don’t drink it.

As soon as you advocate against something which is the source of many of our zoonotic diseases they downvote because they do not want to stop eating animals.

People who would downvote the above comment: we see you like you see raw milk drinkers.

Raw milk is safe to drink in the UK.

Kinda, it's regulated because it can be so unsafe and even then you are kinda risking a bad time drinking raw milk. There is a reason we pasturise it.

Well, that's the point of regulations - to make food good and safe.

Yeah I understand but the regulations are basically to protect people from being exposed to it. So it's still unsafe but because it's so regulated you have to find sources for it and those sources have to prove they don't have sick cows to sell you raw milk I assume a lot of not safe milk gets through so I would argue that it isn't safe to drink raw milk ever no matter what unless you are a baby cow and even them it still might kill you.. they banned it in Scotland since its dangerous and you can't buy it in any markets anywhere in the uk

That logic can be applied to literally everything. You can't just sell random shit and say it's food. Not sure why you're arguing. The point is that raw milk is safe, food in the US is not.
