I hadn’t heard of this. I was shocked to find out that unpasteurised milk could be sold to begin with, didn’t expect a second shock in the comments. Think I’m going to go back to just not touching social media for a while.
I’m surprised it can be sold in stores alongside regular milk. Raw milk doesn’t last long because of the lack of pasteurization, the logistics of constant replacement due to the lack of shelf time is insane. There’s no way places can be making money simply due to product loss as it goes bad before being sold.
Unless the farms selling it to the stores are lying about expiration dates due to lack of adequate regulations.
Maybe they end up selling enough. I wonder the same thing about the snowfox sushi sold in grocery stores. They have a shelf life of 1 day and the shelves are always full even before the store closes. They can either break even or they are running at a high loss.
Also, I don’t know if the raw milk is sold in regular grocery stores. I have never seen one.
The sushi I see sold in the stores near me is usually restocked a few times during the day since they keep smaller quantities on hand, usually early morning, late morning and late afternoon, to get people for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I also think it’s a pretty high margin food. You usually just need a little veggies and some rice, and optionally a pretty small amount of fish for the price you pay.
One person can then prepare two or three rolls at once in a couple of minutes.
It’s not great sushi usually, but it’s at least better than the majority of grab and go foods.
In the beginning of bird flu, the instances called for only using treated milk. As a counter reaction, the sale of raw milk went up. Rationality went out the window some time ago.
These are the same geniuses who went from chicken pox to covid “parties” for the express purpose of infecting everyone, this country has always been filled with reactionary ignorant asshats.
I will say in defense of chicken pox parties, those made sense before vaccines existed. If you didn’t get it in childhood it was a lot more dangerous to catch in adulthood. And you had a 95% chance of getting it at some point (lifetime infection rate pre-vaccine), so the thought was to get it over with when you were young.
You’re thinking to small. Start up store that only sells ivermectin and sell it straight to the government for insane markups. That’s what happened during COVID with regular medical supplies! Heck one of the reasons why they were in short supply is becaue Kuchner gave the federal government’s supply to his buddy’s companies who then sold them to hospital systems for a profit. Some of it even just got sold back to federal government.
There’s probably a small loss of some nutrients (the heat breaks some chemical bonds). The benefit would probably be somewhere between negligible and marginal before you factor in the risk of food poisoning.
Studies have shown no difference in nutritional value. So it’s a net negative across the board.
It’s not healthier, it has a higher risk of pathogens, and a much shorter shelf life, all for usually more cost at the store. It’s a perfect grift for the anti-vax, chemicals=bad people.
Maybe ‘raw milk’ shouldn’t be-
Oh, nevermind, we’re going to have RFK in charge of public health now, it’s a lost cause

Now, obviously, just get the damn vaccine.
Not only will the milk be raw, but there will also be no vaccines. The next pandemic is going to be such a hoot.
I’ll go set up a webshop for ivermectin. It’s going to be crazy again.
I’d rather not have money than have to deal with right wing extremist customers

Nah, this will just cull us before the next pandemic
Shouldn’t be what? Whasamatta? Worm got your brain?
Is there even any benefit whatsoever to raw milk over pasteurized?
