Wisconsin Pushes to Have Raw Milk Farmer Vernon Hershberger Jailed

It should be illegal for them to give it to kids - because some people will go out of their way to buy it and then serve it to their children.

There's nothing wrong with pasteurized milk.

I kinda agree with you... Kids should be protected from their parent's stupidity... But I'm not a fan of over-regulating parenting either... I'm on the fence I guess

If we agree that parents shouldn't be allowed to choose faith healing over FDA and AMA approved medical treatment, then they shouldn't be allowed to chose non FDA approved milk.

When you are 18 years old, you have the right to chose for yourself what you want to do to your body and yourself. People should not have the "right" to chose things that carry an active risk of fatal or severe infection for their children. We make clear instructions on medicines and you're not supposed to dose your kid. If caught doing so, you will be prosecuted. The same should be said for things like that - feed your kid raw milk, prosecute for irresponsible parenting.

There's absolutely nothing in raw milk that would outweigh the cost benefit of pasteurized milk. These people are fucking retarded, and children shouldn't have to pay the price of parents wanting to live in the stone age rather than the 21st century. We say the same all the time about kids being raised by religious wackos and their out-of-date scientific principles. Why not this too?

The entire concept of adults drinking milk beyond their infancy and on top of that the milk of another species is utterly brain-fucked and completely unnatural, no other species in nature has yet managed to screw up its diet this bad. And then to claim it would be "necessary" for our health is really a marvelous feat of brain-washing. We have as much need for cows milk as we have for mouse milk or camel milk or cats milk.

I don't subscribe to the "naturalistic" fallacy here.

Besides, it's a good place to get Vit D - and more enjoyable than pill supplements - without having to also risk cancer.
