What is with the sudden, coordinated push against raw milk?
- ceejayoz 2y agoThere's currently a widespread outbreak of H5N1 bird flu in America's dairies, so it's in the news. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/05/25/g-s1-460/bird-flu-virus-raw-milk-safety https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/05/25/g-...
- lylejantzi3rd 2y agoI don't buy it. This isn't the first crusade against raw milk. The previous attempts had nothing to do with bird flu. It's a bizarre thing to mobilize a nation-wide campaign against, yet it keeps happening.
- ceejayoz 2y ago> This isn't the first crusade against raw milk. Well, sure. It has always had a risk to it. You'll see a lot of articles about washing salads when there's an active E. coli or listeria outbreak in bagged salads, without some dark conspiracy being involved.
- lylejantzi3rd 2y agoI find it amusing that you think this disproves my point in any way.
- ceejayoz 2y agoPerhaps you could clarify your point, then, as you've argued that recent articles about raw milk constitute a conspiracy against it, while simultaneously acknowledging that concerns are hardly new or unusual. Which is it?
- alistairSH 2y agoYou have it backwards. It’s a sudden, coordinated push to legalize the sale of raw milk. Raw milk sales have been regulated/banned in most of the US for many decades.
- lylejantzi3rd 2y agoNo, I don't. There is no coordinated push to have it legalized.
- alistairSH 2y agoLaws legalizing/deregulating something that was previously banned/regulated don't get written without coordination.
