Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

She mad at herself right? Because pasteurization is very available and works. Unless she wants to go back to a time when formaldehyde was added to milk to keep it longer. Fucking insanity these people have is unreal.

If you own your cow and know it's cleanliness and health, please go right ahead and drink that milk! But if you honestly think you can drink raw milk from a larger farm, you deserve everything you get. I say let them at this point. Drink away. I'm going to stick with my "Processed" milk. The nutritional value from pasteurized milk and raw milk is small.

I don't trust any large scale anything to be safe anymore. Now I'll admit when I first heard about the raw milk tend, I got curious. Did my research, and ten minutes later decided I was just going to continue living in the dark on of it tastes so much better. Even in my small little community there were a couple family operations offering it, but the risk just isn't worth it. And I have one of those crazy mutant immune systems that would likely keep me safe, but I have that cause I don't purposefully test it. I didn't even get COVID and I was working at a popular bar and arcade chain in one of the worst states.

How could she possibly know that? The podcast she listened to said raw milk is better for you.
