    And then watching them “discover” that boiling raw milk makes it safe to drink.

    It’s like the vaccine skeptics suggesting exposure to a weakened virus to build natural immunity.

      I make cheese every once in a while, and there are plenty of cheeses that are made from raw milk (and are safe to do so as long as they are aged for the right amount of time). A few years back, I tried to get some, but you apparently had to line up at the farmers market before it opened to get it. I ended up just buying non-homogenized milk from a local creamy who sold at the grocery store instead.

      All of these people who claim that raw milk has such a better taste/texture need to just try drinking non-homogenized milk (even though that’s a fake excuse, and the real reason they want to drink it is because “science” tells them not to).

    Twenty years ago, this would have been among the top five stupidest things I’d heard of that people were really doing.

    Now, this doesn’t even break into the top 50, I think.

    Are we great yet?

    Reminds me of that end scene in Dewey Cox, “If I was alive I’d be the president right now. I’d be on the moon looking for aliens to kill!”
