I've had this happen exactly one time and it kind of confuses me. Maybe this is my moment in the autistic sun or whatever but I just told the guy flat out 'you're cluttering up my feed with bullshit and we're not really friends or anything, bye' and that was that.

Like, what power could these people possibly have over you that this drama is anything tangible?

Family members and other people you have to interact with in real life? I honestly don't care, but my cousin unfriended my mother and it was A Big Deal at the next family dinner.

Boyfriend is a health inspector, This is as per his schooling: Raw milk is perfectly fine, assuming it's from a healthy cow with a clean udder, goes into a clean container, and is consumed the same day. The problem comes from city folk who are used to keeping milk in the fridge for a few days, which gives the nasty stuff time to flourish. Farmers and their kids who drink raw are accustomed to drinking fresh milk daily, and just dumping what they don't use.

Yeah anything between utter->mouth adds another layer of potential hazards. That goes for all food and not just milk. Milk just really likes to grow poo poo and idiots love it raw.

It's almost all her money, actually. She inherited some large business from her parents and has expanded it greatly.

One of her sons was in Iraq some years ago; the other has been stationed in Guam the whole time, so it's weird that she lumped them together like that.

The problem is that most proponents of raw milk aren't actually farmers and don't have access to stuff that's less than 24 hours old; they just get them from shady health food stores run by burnouts who can barely remember their own names, let alone when their stock came in last.

My mom's next door neighbor is kinda crazy but generally cool, who is a big raw milk drinker. He can't put two and two together when his whole family gets violently ill when they have cereal, but the pregnant mom (who didn't want milk during pregnancy) didn't.

Things that exist in a theoretical universe are nice and all but FDA regulations and poo poo like, "you should pasteurize your milk" exist for a reason (namely stock farms do not have super healthy cows and live in cramped conditions, sanitation is poor, and that chance that you're drinking milk basically fresh from the udder is like 0). "City folk" is the least of the problems in this equation, it's loving insane to assume a farm and a cow is sterilized.

As someone who's been to many a dairy farm, I just want to call you out on this bullshit. Farmers will do EVERYTHING to make the cows life as comfortable as absolutely possible for the simple fact that a comfortable cow gives more milk than a stressed cow.

Also sanitation is pretty high, again, these cows are their lively hood they want them to be healthy all the time, it's counter productive to have a non-sanitary environment for them.

I just imagined a farmer sterilizing a cow by running it through an autoclave and now I really want some pot roast.

You'd be surprised how often this isn't the case. I grew up on a dairy farm and it was absolutely filthy, the entire pasture maybe two acres with 50-75 head of cattle at any given time. Of course, it was a knee-high pool of mud/poo poo/piss in the summer and the cows were mastitis-ridden, miserable wrecks, all of this because my stepdad was an idiot. I knew a number of other farms in my area that were barely any better. I'm fairly sure most of them are closed now though, I drove through there several years back and the places I remembered how to get to were gone.

Of course, our farm was an exception and our milk was rated as being fit only for being powdered and used as formula for animals. Didn't stop my parents from bringing in a fresh pitcher of raw milk every morning of my childhood! I have no idea how I survived to adulthood.

I unfriended my aunt for sharing shite from Britain First and then went mad with power and hosed off everyone except people I actually speak to regularly. I saw someone I knew in school (I say "knew", I don't think we ever actually loving spoke to each other) in the supermarket not long after that and where normally they'd just grunt a hello as they passed, that day they tried to give me a bollocking for unfriending them, as if I'd somehow reduced their worth as a human being. :v:

I just shove all those people into a special group where I can't see their posts, and they can only see my public ones. I just got tired of getting request after request from people (especially people from HS who never liked me then) who I didn't know that well. I do the same thing for most of my family members too. Thankfully the most annoying things people post on my FB are pictures/videos of their kids, and I'll be honest -- I don't mind that but I had a friend who was over sharing that crap and I had to put him in the time out zone because he has twins and would post everything twice.
