Is this... a joke?

Buying raw milk doesn't mean people will consume it?

[ceejayoz]

Sure. But boiling it makes it… not raw.

Hey man I don't know what they put in that factory heat. I only trust heat from my stove.

Best thread all day :)

I know, but the topic at hand is about buying raw milk? From the article

> Powerful anti-vaccine advocates and people selling potentially harmful goods such as raw milk are profiting from the push to write anti-science policies into law across the U.S.

But we don't regulate milk for the people who boil it.

We regulate it because of the ones who don't.

[ImJamal]

We do though. It is illegal to buy raw milk in some jurisdictions regardless if you boil it after purchasing.

[ceejayoz]

Because some people won't boil it, and that has serious public health impacts. Right?

Same reason we have airport security even if I personally don't want to hijack a plane.

This is ridiculous. "Well there is something that people at home could do to make this safe so its no biggie to sell it even though we know that virtually nobody will do that thing."
