minus-squareCethin@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoI don’t totally disagree with raw milk, but it shouldn’t be allowed to be destributed. If you go to a local farm and pick up some milk that hasn’t been pasteurized, that seems reasonable, and honestly a lot better than the current system.
minus-squareSkullgrid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·7 months agoDoesn’t matter, my point is without regulations, you’re back to swill milk. I think raw milk should be available to buy , as a niche product that is labelled correctly so people understand how to process it safely. The “fuck regulations” crowd want it legal so the farmers/businesses have no obligation for food safety, thus, back to swill milk.
