@arstechnica drinking breast milk of any creature is always a bad idea.
if that creepy cultural habit was somehow lost, how would we feel about someone suggesting we forcefully impregnate cows and other animals, steal their babies, and then steal their reproductive secretions to....drink them. It's creepy and weird. Would you try dog milk? It's just as gross as cowmilk, but people are desensitized to cow 'breast'milk being a thing.
@arstechnica No, really, drinking raw milk d̶u̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶H̶5̶N̶1̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶b̶r̶e̶a̶k̶ is a bad idea.
Fixed it for you.
Seriously, there is a reason people in past times would either drink very very fast or do other things like make cheese rather than treating it as if it was totally normal to just randomly drink. The more people move towards what they call "natural," the more they move away from what actually is natural.
@arstechnica It depends if the milk is infected, that bit is quite important. Not drinking raw milk is the quikfix for not dealing with infected cattle, which even if we did would be the quikfix for not doing disease prevention.
It would help us all if our food wasn't so utterly degraded and denatured and full of dodgy chemicals. But that's apparently too hard.
I drank raw milk up until age 15 or so. But it was a long time ago when cows didn't eat fishmeal or whatever it is nowadays.
