I believe my words were ‘if it tastes off it probably is’ ... which is pretty common sense.

Of course... the farm is the first step so, obviously, it’s the most important step. It doesn’t matter if they avoided contamination at steps 2-7 if the milk was already contaminated at step 1.

My only point is that if you lived your life consuming milk prior to step 3, while the vast majority of the world consumes it…

The point stands. If you rely on your senses to identify whether your dairy product has been contaminated (or what it’s been contaminated with) you are only protecting yourself from the later stages of contamination. You can get sick off of a dairy product long before it’s “turned” in any obvious sense. I get that…

Well, 1) She’s American. 2) If her wedding was any indication, she definitely claims her blackness. 3) This is a news outlet, so we report on current events.

Being close to the source has nothing to do with how clean a milking room is or knowing when your milk has soured.

Yes it does. Transporting the milk longer distances increases the chance of it getting too warm, allowing bacteria to grow. I would wager that many of the cases of illness come from people who didn’t keep the milk cold enough traveling from the farm or wherever they bought it from. Most likely because they drove a bit…

Apparently the bacteria that they looked at in this study is the kind that can send you to the hospital and kill you, so enjoy that in your microbiome

You were actually about as safe as it gets when it comes to this topic, the source was literally on the same property, so no worry of contamination from the tansport, bottling, further transport, storage protocal, etc. One cow is a lot easier to keep clean and healthy than a couple hundred as well and if your family…

Slightest sign? No. Serious infection? Absolutely. And no, I never said all bacteria is bad, so I’ll thank you not to put your own ignorant words in my mouth. Or, well, on my fingers. Whatever.

But anything natural can’t be bad for you. Pasteurization is an unnatural process that adds chemicals and spoils the natural nutrients of milk. Now I’m off to drink some hydrogen peroxide, pick up 60 pounds of bacon for my keto diet and some Powerball tickets, grab a couple gallons of raw water from the nearest…

Sorry, I think you wrote ‘auteur’ where you meant to write ‘adolescent edgelord’.

Ah the glorious Dunning-Kruger Effect.

It isn’t just that Mo Brooks threw this out to see if it would stick. (Anything but rising global temperatures, right, Mo?) It’s that Mo Brooks is a member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. Why is he there???

The model, if you look at that model with Gaddafi, that was a total decimation. We went in there to beat him

I guess I just don’t get this impulse to think you’re smarter about something than people who have studied the subject for a couple of decades just because you came up with this “brilliant” idea that no one else could have thought of. And what’s odder about it is that it seems to be confined to certain disciplines.

Okay, but how big do the rocks have to be *in one’s head* to believe that erosion causes sea levels to rise globally?

But even if you buy the totally stupid argument that enough rocks are falling into our oceans, rivers, and streams to create rising sea levels, they fall because of erosion, from - rising waters and atypical climate activity (heavy rains or drought). The Weather Channel literally did a demonstration of this last night…
