Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Pasteurization? That's UNNATURAL! No one wants all that done to their milk. They want it RAW!
Yea, most of these RAW milk people dont realize its basically just low temperature boiling. They think they are adding acid or antibiotics or soething.
you give em too much credit
Yea, way too much. Most just do what the dog-eating brainworm guy in charge of health says.
They prefer their milk darwinized.
I was briefly interested in raw milk in the early 2000s. There was a lot of info floating around about how pasteurization destroyed beneficial bacteria that healthy people could benefit from, to avoid risk to those with compromised immune systems, infants and elderly, etc. The gut microbiome was just starting to be talked about, and we didn't know much, but people were curious about improving it.
Fortunately I did a little digging and realized it was a fairly radical and unproven concept, but it's not just the belief they're adding something harmful. It's the belief they're removing beneficial bacteria that would somehow improve our health.
Considering how the last 20 years have been full of mostly unproven probiotic and prebiotic marketing insanity, it's not surprising, it's the same base concept. But science has been demonized since then, people actively think science and medicine is trying to keep us unhealthy now, and the top levels of government are promoting that bullshit.
