I switched to almond milk years ago simply because the shelf life is 3x or more that of cow’s milk. I never go through cow’s milk before it expires so it’s been great for me. The flavor is a bit different but it’s not worse.
For me it depends on the brand, added sugars, and what you’re using it for (cooking, cold cereal, smoothies, drinking it straight). This seems to be the case for all of the plant-based milks. But it can be enjoyable finding the ones you like.
At one time I was exploring caves and got sick. I asked a doctor if you could get a reduced amount of rabies from the bat guano I encountered. He laughed and said it was like pregnancy. There was no minor rabies. You either have it or you don’t, and yes you can get it from the guano.
Drinking it immediately after milking the (healthy) cow is perfectly safe, and people have been drinking unpasteurized milk that was taken from the cow that morning for millenia. The risk/reward ratio is definitely not worth it though if you dont plan on drinking the milk within an hour of milking though.
For now, to drink (and, especially, to produce) raw milk “is a way of breaking with convention and raging against the machine”, said Weiss, “while engaging in caveman-inspired biohacking”.
“Raw milkers want control over their lives”, said Weiss, and that includes their food.
We don’t need to attribute to malice what can be explained by sheer, unadulterated, absolute, abject stupidity.
Oh well, so long as it is properly labelled, I am actually fine with them having their “freedumbs” - it is rather when they extend out of that zone and try to tell OTHERS what to do with THEIR bodies that they need to be reigned in.
The problem is that in this case, their freedumbs are infectious. Some conservative raw milk-drinking nut catches H5N1, he might be the “lucky” guy who it mutates in enough to spread from human to human, and then we’ve got a brand new pandemic on our hands.
That wouldn’t help so much - they choose to not see the harm themselves, therefore would be quite willing to do so, and have their children do it right there along with you both as well.
