If fetuses are people. Her negligence caused its death. Therefore she committed manslaughter. Lock her up.

I just don't get it... Like, you can source your milk locally, get to know the farmer and the cow, etc., and then pasteurize it.

Why expose yourself to pathogens for no fucking reason? So fucking stupid.

This is one of the purest "just to own the libz" things there is... Up there with rolling coal.

Less science (pasteurization? Disgusting, sounds foreign) = more nature (*god made everything perfect, like childhood leukaemia *) = more better.

These people are not complicated.

This particular woman blames the company, because the milk being labeled "for animal consumption only" wasn't a big enough clue for her that she shouldn't feed it to her toddler. She's not taking any responsibility whatsoever and will continue to do dumb shit.

Maddox herself also got so sick that she actually had a miscarriage, 20 weeks into a pregnancy.

It being Florida, is she being charged for murder because she caused herself to have an abortion?

Holy hell, new abortion trick just dropped!

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately the answer is probably the inverse of one of the following questions;

Is Maddox white? Is Maddox rich?

[-] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Republicans hate this one little secret!

[-] Turret3857@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago

thought and prayering so hard rn for this to happen

[-] TomMasz@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

The collective memory of how dangerous milk was before pasteurization has been lost. Just like with polio before the vaccine. We're doomed to go back to those days if things continue in the direction they're going.

[-] RUN_DMG@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

The vaccine one sucks because their idiocy can affect herd immunity and hurt people who can't use vaccines for other reasons. But if they want to drink raw milk then that's on them. They're only hurting themselves. I just don't care anymore.

[-] Sunflier@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

But if they want to drink raw milk then that’s on them. They’re only hurting themselves. I just don’t care anymore.

It's not that I don't care anymore. I'm actually celebrating their demise. Thank god the stupid Republicans are killing themselves. Will miracles never cease?

This ignorance is being manufactured. We’re not “forgetting”. There are many propaganda stations, some quite literally funded by russia to promote ignorance like this in America.

Until corporate news admits that, and therefore its own role in it, this ignorance will continue to grow.

And to be clear; corporate news will never admit that.

[-] obsoleteacct@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

We don't need Russian disinformation or funding. The Secretary of Health and the worlds biggest podcaster will happily disinform the public on spotify's dime and entirely of their own accord.

[-] manxu@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

The irony was during COVID-19, the Russian population believed their own disinformation, leading to atrocious infection and death rates.

100%. I think we have the same problem with fascism, too. There is a theory (though I think it's debunked) about approximate 80 year cycles due to people dying off and memories lost and lessons having to be re-learned by the young, since they are ignorant.

Certainly things like vaccines are victims of their own success - the low-info can innocently bat their eyes and claim that vaccines never did nothing for them, nohow, because they haven't seen the alternative themselves. This is why the antivaccine insanity didn't really take root with boomers [1] and older Gen X quite so much. I have no idea what RFK's excuse is, other than probably being a total idiot and selfish asshole out to make money on the "wellness" movement.

[1] My parents were boomers and both of them didn't even believe I was serious when I was first telling them about vaccine denialism I was running across online in the mid-90s. They thought that was a thing of the distant past, when some xtians resisted vaccines, because it was messing with their god's will. And my grandmother, who was a nurse, got very worked up in the 90s when I told her about it (she was silent or greatest generation). I legit think she would have slapped the face of anyone spouting anti-vaccine bullshit to her in-person, since she had stories about the kinds of things she saw as a child and as a nurse when it came to kids dying from now-preventable disease. It made her blood boil to hear that people my age and younger were actively resisting vaccinations. I'm kind of glad she didn't live to see the Covid reaction...

As a liberal, I firmly believe that eating your own feces and drinking your own urine is bad for you, can make you sick, and should probably be avoided.

Just saying, in case any maverick conservatives wants to dunk on me. I am easily owned.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today -1 points 1 week ago

Uh oh, don't let the hexabear loons read this. Apparently being liberal is the same as supporting trump. I get real confused by those braincels' posts.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

She mad at herself right? Because pasteurization is very available and works. Unless she wants to go back to a time when formaldehyde was added to milk to keep it longer. Fucking insanity these people have is unreal.

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

If you own your cow and know it's cleanliness and health, please go right ahead and drink that milk! But if you honestly think you can drink raw milk from a larger farm, you deserve everything you get. I say let them at this point. Drink away. I'm going to stick with my "Processed" milk. The nutritional value from pasteurized milk and raw milk is small.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today -1 points 1 week ago

I don't trust any large scale anything to be safe anymore. Now I'll admit when I first heard about the raw milk tend, I got curious. Did my research, and ten minutes later decided I was just going to continue living in the dark on of it tastes so much better. Even in my small little community there were a couple family operations offering it, but the risk just isn't worth it. And I have one of those crazy mutant immune systems that would likely keep me safe, but I have that cause I don't purposefully test it. I didn't even get COVID and I was working at a popular bar and arcade chain in one of the worst states.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 week ago

The cool part is how she hurt her kid and her unborn child because they had to trust her to keep them safe. /s

I hate stupid people. I genuinely have no sympathy when they hurt themselves. But I feel awful for the people they harm who cannot protect themselves.

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Ugh. Like those Parents of the Year in Texas whose 12-year-old died of measles. They still stand by their choice not to vaccinate, and it's like, what would that 12-year-old think? She was a living, thinking person. Would she be proud to be a prop in their little fascist play?

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

And Bobby Brainworm wants this for all of us?

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

These people are fascist eugenicists. They believe in a warped understanding of "survival of the fittest" where the fittest are the richest and being rich proves they're the fittest and the ones who deserve to survive. They're not trying to keep anyone else alive.

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

According to Project 2025, they want the US to have population of like 250k people. They have a lot of killing to do.

[-] logi@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

OK, I'm confused. I was in Haute Savoy on a road trip last weekend and picked up some cheeses from a little shop along the road, and 2 bottles of wine. Nobody is getting sick from cheeses in France. Is the real problem here just the usual horrendous food safety practices of the US? Should we be chlorinating American Cheese to be sure? Or is it specifically a pregnancy thing? What am I missing?
