Who in this day and age wouldn't drink pasteurised milk?

Besides like, properly stupid people, or people who think it'll give them religious powers and other such nutters.

Those who take horse medication to fire COVID... probably

This is likely more in the crunchy, no measles vax set of dipshits, not MAGA.

i'd bet the Venn diagram of both groups would overlap in more than 90%

dad, no!

The Meatcanyon videos will be glorious.

The word you’re looking for is dipshits.

Yeah, we've got those who promise themselves health benefits from drinking raw milk. I have the impression that this is mostly prevalent in esoteric people, as usual with such stuff.

But such beneficial claims of raw milk consumption appear to be not scientifically sound and are a myth.

esoteric people

Believe it or not, they have dictionaries online now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn't "esoteric people" an accurate description?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Eh. It would imply those people are mysterious or difficult to understand. They're not, they're just stupid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Hm okay. English is not my native language. I've checked this with a dictionary and found it to be an adequate description, even discussed this with ChatGPT. It pointed out that this can also be understood in the way you've described it.

What I meant were people who practise in esotericism, like briefly described here. Besides "stupid", what do you suggest to describe such people?

Also, thanks for pointing that out!

properly stupid people

Who drinks milk at all? I get a giant zit immediately after having some.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I'm lactose intolerant but I use a little bit of lactose-free, 0% fat milk for my coffee in the morning because the alternatives (almond or oat milk) just don't taste as good with coffee.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Just drink it black. After two cups you get used to it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Fair point but when you drink it black you don't need to bother with the overly processed milk anymore

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hey look some who thinks pasteurized milk is "overly processed"!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

"lactose free 0% fat milk"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Then you just have the overly-processed coffee.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 weeks ago

And? Adding overly-processed milk to overly-processed coffee cancels out the processing or something? Don't drink it then.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It depends if you like coffee, or coffee flavored milkshakes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Hmm, put that way, most definitely the milkshake. I'm not sure I even like coffee, it provides a break at work and energy in the morning, with enough milkshake ingredients of course.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's really brand dependant. Honestly recommend trying brands till you find a good couple. Some oat and almond are smooth AF. I like Vitasoy and So Good, for example. Not a shill, just took brute forcing brands.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

If it’s ultra pasteurized you should be fine, but as in all things, do your own personal threat analysis.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Half & half in coffee. We go very unprocessed and cook in my household. So I buy half and half which is just milk and cream. It’s delicious in coffee. It’s also ultra pasteurized. A little heat in the name of microbe death is great.

Apart from that, milk is a cooking ingredient. Again, ultra pasteurized.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Growing up I used to down pints of milk, couldn't get enough of the stuff

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Raw milk is silly....but also, now are the banned cheeses unbanned? Probably not cazu whatever the fuck, the Sardinian maggot cheese but there's stuff like brie, but raw, that's apparently yummy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Someone commented on Lemmy a whole ago that cheese with raw milk is different. Coles notes is the good bacteria out-competes the bad ones.

I've seen Europeans make the fact that Americans don't generally drink unpasteurized milk into a "yanks dumb" thing

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

You can buy unpasteurized milk in europe in a supermarket ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Seeing the other post about France: It depends on the country. In Germany you can't (only direct at the farm). Saw a documentary some weeks ago about Spain where they said that it is also forbidden (the journalist wanted to drink raw camel milk).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Just re-checked: In theory you can buy raw milk in Germany in a supermarket. It is called "Vorzugsmilch" then. But I never saw any.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

yes, filtered but not pasteurized (France)
