Got raw milk?

We are going to have to restyle it as the US Department of “Health” and “Human Services” if Robert F Kennedy is confirmed as its secretary. Kennedy is a complete idiot who has stupid, bigoted and extremely dangerous ideas about human health. One of those ideas is his practice and recommendation of drinking raw milk. He says it tastes better and is better for you. I can’t vouch for the former, but I know for a fact that the latter is bullshit.

Unpasteurised raw cow’s milk is an ideal medium for the incubation of bacteria and other pathogens, including tuberculosis, diphtheria, typhoid, campylobacter, listeria, brucella, E coli, salmonella and streptococcal infections. Doctors at the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) say that improperly handled raw milk is responsible for nearly three times more hospitalizations than any other food-borne disease source.

I repeat: raw milk is one of the world’s most deadly dangerous food products. If you drink it chances are it will make you deathly ill and could kill you. Think of it as poison. People routinely died in the nineteenth century after consuming raw cow’s milk. Pasteurisation of raw milk is one of the many medical marvels that saved millions of lives.

RFK Jr is just another conspiracy theorist and antiscience dumbass who contradicts all the medical evidence about raw milk because he thinks he’s smarter and more honest than all of the doctors of the world. He isn’t. He is nothing but a liar, a sexual predator, a bigot and a thoroughly despicable human being. Don’t be deceived, if he’s confirmed in the Senate by Republicans who are fully aware of who and what he is, it will be because they value kissing up to Trump far more than they value the lives of their constituents.

Antiscience is gaining traction in the world and is manifesting itself in alarming ways, such as anti-vaccination conspiracy theories. People who believe that raw milk is better for you claim it contains important gut bacteria and it’s “more natural.” They don’t know what they are talking about. Arsenic is natural.

There are no medical studies supporting the idea that raw milk has any more health benefits than regular milk. Raw milk proponents are so ignorant they suggest that if you’re worried about it then boil your raw milk. But that’s exactly what pasteurisation is!

Of course, all this nonsense can be avoided if you’re vegan. If you think I’m being silly or stupid with my “vegan thing” then consider this. If the majority of the people of the world had been vegan then there would be no global warming, no pandemic and there probably would have never been a president Donald Trump. That’s something to consider. Whatever you think, brothers and sisters, take care of yourselves in these stupid and dangerous times, and if you can, take care of someone else too.
