A newborn baby died from a listeria infection likely linked to the child’s mother drinking raw milk during pregnancy, health officials said.

New Mexico officials this week warned people to avoid consuming unpasteurized dairy products following the death. Interest in and sales of raw milk have been rising in recent years, fueled by social media and growing support from the Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again movement.

Likely? No. She murdered her kid.

Fuck you, crunchy granola moms. Your belief in using "all natural" stuff all means you get all natural deaths, too.

Nothing natural about drinking another mammal’s milk. The rules these people make for themselves…

Meanwhile this asshole is out there chugging listeria juice.
