I just don't get it... Like, you can source your milk locally, get to know the farmer and the cow, etc., and then pasteurize it.
Why expose yourself to pathogens for no fucking reason? So fucking stupid.
This is one of the purest "just to own the libz" things there is... Up there with rolling coal.
These people have no idea what pasteurization is.
Some of these nuts recommend heating the raw milk as an alternative to "dangerous" pasteurization...
Less science (pasteurization? Disgusting, sounds foreign) = more nature (*god made everything perfect, like childhood leukaemia *) = more better.
These people are not complicated.
This particular woman blames the company, because the milk being labeled "for animal consumption only" wasn't a big enough clue for her that she shouldn't feed it to her toddler. She's not taking any responsibility whatsoever and will continue to do dumb shit.
If fetuses are people. Her negligence caused its death. Therefore she committed manslaughter. Lock her up.
Won’t be the last time we hear about this happening.
MAGAt problems in the Florida Oblast. Zero sympathy and keep following every piece of advice from RFK Jr.
Whomp whomp
As a liberal, I firmly believe that eating your own feces and drinking your own urine is bad for you, can make you sick, and should probably be avoided.
Just saying, in case any maverick conservatives wants to dunk on me. I am easily owned.
Uh oh, don't let the hexabear loons read this. Apparently being liberal is the same as supporting trump. I get real confused by those braincels' posts.
Heuheuheu I love it!
Maddox herself also got so sick that she actually had a miscarriage, 20 weeks into a pregnancy.
It being Florida, is she being charged for murder because she caused herself to have an abortion?
Holy hell, new abortion trick just dropped!
Randomly reminded me of the best page in the universe
Blast from the past...
Unfortunately the answer is probably the inverse of one of the following questions;
Is Maddox white? Is Maddox rich?
Perhaps this was her workaround?
Republicans hate this one little secret!
thought and prayering so hard rn for this to happen
You brought this old atheist here closer to god
The collective memory of how dangerous milk was before pasteurization has been lost. Just like with polio before the vaccine. We're doomed to go back to those days if things continue in the direction they're going.
Just to own the libs
100%. I think we have the same problem with fascism, too. There is a theory (though I think it's debunked) about approximate 80 year cycles due to people dying off and memories lost and lessons having to be re-learned by the young, since they are ignorant.
Certainly things like vaccines are victims of their own success - the low-info can innocently bat their eyes and claim that vaccines never did nothing for them, nohow, because they haven't seen the alternative themselves. This is why the antivaccine insanity didn't really take root with boomers [1] and older Gen X quite so much. I have no idea what RFK's excuse is, other than probably being a total idiot and selfish asshole out to make money on the "wellness" movement.
[1] My parents were boomers and both of them didn't even believe I was serious when I was first telling them about vaccine denialism I was running across online in the mid-90s. They thought that was a thing of the distant past, when some xtians resisted vaccines, because it was messing with their god's will. And my grandmother, who was a nurse, got very worked up in the 90s when I told her about it (she was silent or greatest generation). I legit think she would have slapped the face of anyone spouting anti-vaccine bullshit to her in-person, since she had stories about the kinds of things she saw as a child and as a nurse when it came to kids dying from now-preventable disease. It made her blood boil to hear that people my age and younger were actively resisting vaccinations. I'm kind of glad she didn't live to see the Covid reaction...
Milk was so dangerous they used to ferment it into Kahlúa before it was safe to drink.
The vaccine one sucks because their idiocy can affect herd immunity and hurt people who can't use vaccines for other reasons. But if they want to drink raw milk then that's on them. They're only hurting themselves. I just don't care anymore.
They’re only hurting themselves.
You're commenting on an article about a woman who killed her wanted unborn child and made another child sick. They're not just hurting themselves.
“Unborn child” is a paradox. You can’t kill someone that doesn’t exist. Hurting a child who really does exist should get her charged with all manner of crimes, but we’re talking about Florida, so that’s dependent on her skin tone and wealth.
Don't be pedantic with a pregnant person who is trying to reach live birth and raise the child about when it's ok to say "child." There's nothing paradoxical about it in that situation. The time to consider being pedantic is when debating with a pro-forced-birth authoritarian who thinks they should have a say in someone else's reproductive choices. And even then, the person who needs to have an abortion at 20 weeks isn't going to think they're discarding a fetus, they're going to think they're losing a child they wanted. At 20 weeks it's about the size of a banana (so it's not going to just idly discharge along with the uterine lining like it's a zygote that just didn't implant) and has a brain, a nervous system, a hardening skeleton, a digestive system, a functioning pancreas, etc.. It's very much their child (and their choice).

This ignorance is being manufactured. We’re not “forgetting”. There are many propaganda stations, some quite literally funded by russia to promote ignorance like this in America.
Until corporate news admits that, and therefore its own role in it, this ignorance will continue to grow.
And to be clear; corporate news will never admit that.
We don't need Russian disinformation or funding. The Secretary of Health and the worlds biggest podcaster will happily disinform the public on spotify's dime and entirely of their own accord.
It’s a smörgåsboard of mind fuckery!
The irony was during COVID-19, the Russian population believed their own disinformation, leading to atrocious infection and death rates.
Ended Her Pregnancy
In the South, we call that an Illegal Abortion.
Can we ban raw milk now? For the children?
Isn't that what you have to say to get laws passed?
You have to say it louder, manlier, whiter, and - most importantly - from a billionaire's megaphone.

When she asked why it was labeled as being for animal consumption only, she says she was told “that was a technical requirement to sell ‘farm milk.’”
I don't know, Rachel, I see a label saying "for animal consumption only" and a least a couple of questions would come to my mind... if I had a functioning brain with at least a couple braincells.
Ps: the subtitle is gold.
Rachel probably stopped paying attention to the importance of "for animal consumption only" when she started self medicating with horse paste to cure her COVID infections.

Maddox has filed a lawsuit against Keely Farms, which produced the milk she drank, as well as the store that sold it to her, alleging that she had no idea that there was any risk to drinking the milk — which has only been in the news for at least a year now due to the fact that it is a health risk, it can cause food poisoning, and Trump people are drinking it anyway to own the libs.
Please, continue the owning. You are showing us how strong and powerful you are. Oh my destroyed masculinity! Oh no!
I think I will feel sufficiently owned when all of MAGA drinks their unpasteurized milk and injects their homemade bleach/urine vaccines and takes their horse dewormer. Yes. That'll do it for sure.
They should probably insert some UV bulbs up their backside to really own the libs.
I just cannot believe that Bobby Brainworm is still talking about horse dewormer, by the way. I mean, talk about a very special kind of stupid.
And these people still have a fucking chip on their shoulder over Fauci for some inexplicable reason. Just the other day someone told me they aren't a big "fan" of Fauci. I tried to ask more about that, the response was completely incoherent. Also, does someone need to be a "fan" of someone who is merely a proponent of sound policy based on science? I happen to like Fauci and his demeanor, but I'm not sure I'm a fan. I vastly prefer someone like Fauci over the kind of dipsticks that Qanon and Nat-C's want in charge.
Aside from the PPE restriction (which he was triaging for medical personnel), I had people say 'he screwed up our health care' or 'he never did anything when Obama was in office' or even the straight bigoted 'he was Obama's lackey, he'll just screw things up' along with various purely political excuses.
I don't think I've ever heard any legitimate reasoning in the 5 years since he was removed, and I'm still waiting.

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.
