NOTE:
..incase nobody has noticed, so far its almost always the 'raw'
stuff involved that seems to make people sick the most often as
well as the 'raw' stuff in pet food. There's other botulisms,
poisonings, and food items that make people sick but in many
cases the uncooked 'raw' items seem to be the most liable items
to cause problems!
At least it seems to me that certain raw food poses significant
health risks to both pets and humans due to potential
contamination with harmful bacteria like Salmonella, Listeria,
and E. coli.
Even though lots of people have done it, I know I was always
told as a kid that it's not very smart to eat raw eggs or even a
hot dog without cooking it first.

I'm going to editorialize for a moment. My apologies; I've also
had a rough day at work and so some venting is necessary.
Raw milk is not safe. Period. Just like you could chew on shards
of broken glass and not be seriously injured and/or die,
consuming raw dairy is a Bad IdeaTM no matter the mental
gymnastics that you perform in order to convince yourselves
otherwise. The problem now is that the consumption of raw dairy
has become a form of virtue-signalling for conservatives /
Republicans / Donald Trump supporters as it is seen as a
'protest' against 'science' and 'government oppression.'
Something that is often overlooked is that the consumption of
raw dairy is selfish from a public health perspective; Because
you knowingly consumed it and became sick, you are depriving a
hospital bed and medical resources to someone else who needed
those resources more. If you die because of that consumption,
you are now depriving everyone of a family member, a friend, a
neighbor, an employee, and so on.
It is one thing to consume something without knowing the risks;
We perform that activity all of the time. The scientific method
can't determine all of the risks until enough people perform an
action repeatedly and we see patterns in those people that can
determine if there is a potential hazard. We can get as close as
we reasonably and economically can with a properly-conducted
Phase III trial but the real test is when people en masse are
performing that activity.
We know that raw dairy is bad for us. Full stop. End of
discussion. The verdict is in, has been accepted by the judge
and the judge has ordered the jury dismissed.
The only reason why it still exists on any significant level is
because of faulty behavioral and political logic that endangers
public health and safety.
And here's a link about "RAW FARM" that illustrates that this
isn't their first rodeo when it comes to needing their products
recalled for contamination:

OK. Editorial over. Back to work.

You know its bad when legislation has to step in and make it
illegal... There is reason why "Raw milk sales for human
consumption are prohibited in roughly 20 states"
Ive lived on dairy farms and poultry farms. Wash your hands,
wash your dishes, and cook, bake, and boil your food at proper
temperature! These people don't know what 'raw' is... kill germs
and bacteria with heat and cooking and do it right! You don't
want to eat after these animals.
I can smell 'raw' milk on my daddy's knee-high boots and
jumpsuit like it was just yesterday! That's what raw milk means
to a kid that grew up around farms.
Anybody's whose actually lived next to cattle has got a house
full flies nearly drove me crazy one summer and anybody lived in
a trailer next to a poultry farm has got rodents trying to eat
through the floor! That's reality. I lived next to what was
considered small farms well kept but the ways of cattle,
chickens, bats, mice, flies, barn cats, etc. are still the norm.
Lots of what I consider to be osmosis going on.
People should already know it is very very unsafe not to cook
things properly... only at certain temperatures will germs &
bacteria die. Its also why we wash objects like plates and
forks we eat off. Its the same thing.. you can't wash the germs
out of the food so you have to cook it to kill the germs with
heat. We use microscopes to see things that are too small with
our eyes .. these are tools we use to educate ourselves about
things. This is called education and we humans learn to use
microscope to prove the existence and to further our
understanding germs and bacteria. That being said in the past
most of society realized they need to cook food by fire because
they would often get sick when they didn't. I don't know why
people are getting dumber. We tend to sterilize things with
fire, heat or antiseptics .. hypodermic needles.. we use
something called cooking thermometers to check temperature of
meat as we cook it...
...I don't know why certain groups of people would deny the
existence of germs and bacteria. I guess uneducated, unsanitary,
people are simply in fantasy land and skipping certain steps
and trying to save time and money somehow by not cooking or
using heat to clean the food thinking they can defy reasoning
and consume nasty stuff that can breed bacteria and botulism?
Think about dirty water and how dangerous it is to drink...who
in there right mind would drink water without first purifying
and knowing it is safe ? now we can boil it and make it safe ...
now imagine raw milk or cheese and how dangerous it can get
compared to water.. we are talking all sorts of diseases .. the
answer is called pasteurization .. a heating process so it's
safe to consume. Same method applies to tons of things.. got a
splinter way under your skin? you take a pair of tweezers and
first either heat the tip of it to burn of the germs off of it
or you use alcohol to sterilize the tip of the tweezers so you
can safely start digging at the skin with them to pull the
splinter out.. its the same thing with everything you clean
stuff with either heat or antiseptic.
My theory is as follows: I guess they think they are on little
house on the prairie and are drinking milk straight from the
utter right away before it is exposed to oxygen and osmosis.
They think they are in a perfect world... That's what they think
they are doing but they aren't drinking it straight from their
perfectly healthy clean cow's utter. In theory if you drink it
right away straight from the utter it might be okay if the cow
is perfectly healthy but the reality is that raw milk is going
to be stored and sitting around for quite some time exposed to
environments that are bacteria friendly(also those attempting to
go raw and drink straight from the utter might receive a hoof to
the head!). Raw stuff ceases to be raw once microscopic
organisms set in and start partaking, multiplying and thriving
on it! If you are going to eat something raw you got eat it
right away el pronto straight from the utter! Raw stuff doesn't
keep well for very long whatsoever.. microorganisms race in to
to feed, breed, and multiply on it! You can't stick something
raw in a piece of plastic for a few days, ship it out on a
truck, put it on the shelves for people to buy and think its
going to be good to eat later. If you are going to take chances
consuming something raw I think your best bet is drinking or
eating it before it gets exposed to oxygen and the elements ..ya
gotta drink it straight from the teat right away!.. and even so
you still might want to boil or cook it or sterilize be wary of
contaminated surfaces, utensils, and tools and use a
pasteurization process... there are weird diseases and
infections and bacteria you can get from eating after other
animals without cleaning and cooking! The chances of some bats
hanging upside down in the rafters or a barn cat tiptoeing
through the hay and straw are pretty high..that's a lot of old
crusty milk droplets and they all drink from the same trough...
there's going to be a mouse in that barn and some feces. That's
reality. That's the reality behind where the 'raw' comes from.
It's not like some picturesque scene in the movies.. feather
dust and tail's constantly slapping at flies and animals
snorting and blowing snot out of their snouts constantly, manure
pouring out of their bodies is typical Ive lived next to farms
and its definitely not sterile area fit for surgery or anything
like that. You can smell a dairy farmer's boots from a mile
away!
Part of the reason I wear a mask is because such people
exist..people who don't understand how dangerous they are to
themselves and others out of sheer stupidity. They don't
understand simple concepts about germs and how to cook things
properly. I don't like eating the same uncooked food, breathing
the same air, or being in the same room or car as people like
that.
People who don't understand that certain temperatures are
required to kill germs and bacteria in food certainly are also
less likely understand or accept other concepts as well such as
how viruses get transmitted. One has to protect themselves not
only from germs but also certain people as well. That's all
there is to it. I got neighbors like that. I don't mingle with
them because I know what it will get me. Stray roosters, stray
dogs, they burn brush on the windy days and they always wanna
shake hands..They can go play patty cake or footsie with someone
else! They will never learn... I don't shake hands! I don't make
deals ..I don't Fraternize ..I don't party or play with them ..I
don't need the attention and I am already pleased with my lot in
life and am a busy man...They can learn to read and write and
use technology to communicate their ideas and needs if they want
to.. my presence is not needed... I keep to myself and I wear a
mask and my loved one and I are good relative health. I try to
stay totally independent... because I am happy as I am.
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be" is
a famous piece of advice from Shakespeare’s Hamlet (Act I, Scene
3),
The Masked Man
P.S.
"Raw milk is one of the riskiest foods in the modern food
supply. Pasteurization is a 100-year-old safety standard that
has successfully prevented the widespread transmission of
illnesses like tuberculosis, typhoid, and Brucellosis." These
people like RFK erroneously think raw milk is good for the
immunity system and that by catching illnesses like
tuberculosis, typhoid, and Brucellosis through raw milk that
somehow their immunity system is going to get stronger! What a
bunch of hogwash!
