Push for raw milk intensifies across the US, despite illness outbreaks and scientists' warnings
Backers of raw milk are pushing to make the potentially dangerous product more widely available and easier to obtain, even as a new disease outbreak — one of at least five in the past year — sickens U.S. children.
More than three dozen bills supporting raw milk have been introduced in statehouses across the nation, The Associated Press found. A growing number of states are making it legal to sell. Dairy farmers say they can barely keep it in stock, even though prices can exceed $10 or $20 a gallon.
Top government officials and internet influencers are helping drive this momentum. U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. downed shots of raw milk at the White House last May and previously promised to halt “aggressive suppression” of the product. On social media, posts about raw milk have surged in recent months, often touting unproven claims about its health benefits.
All of this alarms public health officials, who have long warned that unpasteurized milk can harbor risky germs. The current outbreak — tied to raw milk cheddar cheese from California-based Raw Farm — has sickened nine people with E. coli, half of them children younger than 5. One victim developed a serious complication that can impair kidney function for life.

I lived next door to my Brownie troop leader. One Saturday, they took us on a field trip to a friend’s farm, where they always got their milk… “fresh from the cow!” When we got back, they served up a glass for everyone and I took one sip and found it warm and revolting. Left my glass on the piano with the hope that no one would notice and urge me to drink it up.
Next morning, about 10 hours later, I was over there playing and was mortified to notice the glass was still there—now a weirdly dark brown colour…
I can’t recall that their family was notably sick in the time I knew them, but it sure put me off milk in general, and raw milk in particular. Of course, I realized in later years that I can’t handle dairy at all and eventually went vegan. Give me almond, oat, pea, or oat milk anytime—no mucus, no bloating, and I can’t remember the last time I had a real sinus headache.
What I’d like to know is how Bobby Jr. has ingested all this weird shit all these years and he’s still here to croak about it—instead of just croaking? 
Countered by all the drugs he uses!

Some people.
Or pretty close to it, are lactose intolerant.
Why?
Because milk is for baby cows, human breast milk is for human babies. The people who are not lactose intolerant are people with pale skin and/or have genetic ancestry from the northern regions of Europe. This is historical fact. Milk drinking, from animals is not natural and most people can't digest it.
Besides, once a human reaches its third year, there is no nutritional need for it, otherwise we'd all still be nursing... for those whose mothers nursed them. Cow's milk is probably responsible for many physical maladies regarding bone density and muscle and brain development.
What happens when a cow is born? It gets up and starts to walk around, the milk is meant to promote the muscle and bone development needed to be a cow.
Humans, on the other hand, start brain development at birth, sure muscles and bone are developing too but not at the rate of brain development which is why we don't get up and start walking around for almost a year.
Anybody see that difference? This is why the myth of milk is a problem we should observe for our own good.
I use it in my coffee and once in a while I cook it into things but I don't drink the stuff, too slimy and it tastes awful on its own. Some fermented products are nice but for lactose intolerant folks, not a main item in their diets.
The only time I buy milk is to cook with and even then it's usually whole milk, which I don't drink.
