what about me indicates that raw milk needs to be banned from sale? i wouldn't drink the stuff, i'm just pointing out a patchy and uneven application of the law which can be changed without people being automatically classified as dangerous hippies. and people are disagreeing with me and calling me dumb for challenging this assumption

not everyone who disagrees with you personally on a topic does so out of ignorance or stupidity. there's a big level of huffy nerd arrogance to presume that your preferences are automatically superior to other people's. so what if someone wants to get sick drinking raw milk, there are tons of things people are allowed to do in terms of risky food production from sushi to grilling to home brewing but for some reason milk is a special taboo food that extra double poisons you or something

west virgina implemented a new law, some lawmakers got sick drinking raw milk, that's funny but it doesn't make them stupid or anyone who sneers at them morally superior

The taste difference in raw milk is due to it not being homogenized, by the way.

lactic and acetoc acids are produced by bacteria that you happen to kill with pasteurization. You can taste and smell those acids in other applications, e.g. bread. Yeasts also fall in the same vein as they're naturally occiring everywhere, even in milk. How is this debatable? Raw milk doesn't even need cultures or acids added to produce cheese.

Ya, it really is bullshit that a huge subsection of smokers are children who has little or no control over the tobacco products they use cause they are at the whim of their parents' shopping habits. And the goddamned schools just handing out cigarettes to kids. It's crazy.

Secondly, different people in different areas have determined what they feel is the threshold for dangerous, and have acted upon it accordingly by passing laws and regulations. This would be that "patchwork of inconsistent laws" you referred to and is actually exactly how the law supposed to work!

Also, you know, we did ban the way tobacco gets into children, secondhand smoke. And none of these laws prevent Perpetually Thickheaded Dumbass from getting a cow and producing his own raw milk for personal consumption, just like there aren't any laws preventing people from smoking around kids in their own homes. Our society still affords us so many wonderful ways to hurt children. Don't ever be afraid you'll lose that, PTD.

Exists? Yes. And one of the public health coups of the last few decades has been the proliferation of smoking bans in restaurants. But the gently caress does any of this have to do with milk haha.

i'm not sure how you could actually prove this but if it's your sincere belief i won't question it

this article says it's a tossup between leafy vegetables, dairy, and poultry by which i assume they mean chicken meat

http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/19/3/pdfs/11-1866.pdf

raw milk is singled out but the study states they can't differentiate raw from pasteurized milk so it's hard to say how bad raw milk is specifically

Lemming posted:

http://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/rawmilk/nonpasteurized-outbreaks.html

What I feel are some of the more relevant facts:

Less than 1% of milk consumed is raw and it accounts for 60% of outbreaks, including 3 deaths from 1993-2006.

The outbreaks were also 13 times more likely to require hospitalization.

60% of the people who were sickened by a raw milk outbreak were under 20, compared to 23% for pasteurized milk.

In conclusion, it's dangerous, pointless, stupid, and every state should ban it.

Edit: Note that here the outbreaks it's talking about are specifically dairy related.

Retail makes you hate people, the contentious debates would move to "Should we have televised executions twice daily?" and "Can I open carry in my store and is it defending my castle if they insisted on a refund with no receipt?"

I kid, mostly.

Because those are only jobs for "teenagers to have after school" or folks who were "too lazy to upgrade their skills/pay their dues/are poor people" and thus deserve scorn.
