There’s a reason the milk man used to deliver every day
To bang my mom?
Why do you automatically discount your dad from being banged by the milk man as well?
The milkman always comes twice.
Do you guys really drink milk? I don’t think I’ve had a glass of milk since I was like 14.
Tuberculosis has entered the chat.
And Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Listeria, Brucella, Salmonella… It’s the Macy’s parade equivalent of preventable diseases by UHT and y’all been invited!
On the other hand, unrefrigerated raw milk is a fantastic way of meeting who’s who of the bacterial world.
For some people it’s the only culture they’ll ever have.
But it’s natural! And natural always means it’s good for you, because I’m scared of chemicals despite not knowing what a chemical is because I can’t pronounce their names!
Doesn’t raw milk have an even shorter shelf life?
in a way, no, because raw milk is already unsafe to drink by the time it’s packaged
Depends on how you look at it. Raw milk spoils at the same pace as [Edit: ultra-]pasteurized milk. Only for raw milk the counter starts ticking once the milk leaves the cow, whereas [Edit: ultra-]pasteurized milk remains sterile until you open the package.
regular milk also needs to be refrigerated tho
other than a couple of weirdos, who is actually out there drinking raw milk?
Quite a few weirdos, really.
I don’t get it. Isnt all milk to be refrigerated?
A lot of continental Europeans drink UHT which only needs refrigerating once opened.
Or well-pasturised. UHT is what I call “baking milk,” because UHT adds a rather unpleasant flavour note which results from heating, which is fine in baked goods but not nice to drink.
This is such a dumb take. I don’t trust raw milk, but those that do aren’t arguing it won’t spoil at room temperature. Like, I support buying local, free-range chicken meat. But if someone came up to me and said “Oh yea? Well if you like chicken without antibiotics and preservatives, why do you still refrigerate it?!” I’d look at them like a fucking idiot.
I think there is confusion between raw milk, pasteurized milk and UHT milk. Only UHT milk doesn’t need to be refrigerated but it tastes horrible.
Only UHT milk doesn’t need to be refrigerated…
While it’s still sealed. Once opened, it needs to be refrigerated.
