France is France. The United States is the United States. There are many differences between the two.

If you have your own cow and keep an eye on it drinking the milk may be fine but if you're buying it from a random guy, that's no better than eating a dead raccoon on a highway offramp.
That's not exactly how raw milk is sold.

"Still want to drink that pasteurized milk?"

Try mixing it 50/50 with vodka. That should help.

Yeah it doesn't work that way. We are not made for eating potatoes either which has traces of solonine. People ate acorns for thousands of years but we can't eat too much tannin. We were omnivores in an arms race of equilibrium.

Even today more than half the world's population can't digest milk, if partial lactose intolerance is included it's even 3 in 4.

I'm sure you are closer to the truth with this statement than you realize.

No but they sample each load taken from individual farms. End result is bad milk is contained .

The SCOTUS will fix that whole everybody has health insurance problemreal quick.

In all honesty we should just get rid of government because we as a society are obviously able to police and control ourselves. Screw laws, screw regulations and screw checks and balance. The only law we should worry about is Darwin's.
