I heard a lot of milk, maybe most milk, sold in France is un pasteurized. Those disease walking French live on to be 80 years old, can you imagine? Most of their cheese and cheese products are made with raw milk as well, and they have raw milk vending machines in the country. There is no vomiting epidemic or disease epidemic going on in France.
France is France. The United States is the United States. There are many differences between the two.
I'll drink pasteurized milk, thank you. You'd have to be stupid to drink raw milk some yokel on the highway is selling you. Pretty much everyone I know drinks storebought milk, none have instantly dropped dead. Yea theres nasty garbage in the milk, there's feces and all kinds of disgusting things in our drinking water but its treated and we dont drop dead from drinking it. 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.
Humans are not really made for drinking cow milk of any sort, frankly. Cow milk is made for baby cows...
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.
Well I guess our cows here in the US must be infected and sick all the time since the government insists that milk must be pasteurized to be safe to drink.
I'm sure you are closer to the truth with this statement than you realize.
That's why it's important that commerical milk be pasteurized. It's all dumped into huge containers and milk from different farms are all mixed together. They cannot examine every cow before milking so pasteurization is the best way to kill off "the badness".
No but they sample each load taken from individual farms. End result is bad milk is contained .
I think that people should be able to sell food and beverage to anyone without any kind of regulation. Testing isn't necessary. Cleansing isn't necessary. If you eat something and you die from it then that is God's will. If you get sick from ingesting something then just go to the Dr. We all have health insurance so it's not a problem.
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.
