Meanwhile Charles Darwin looks on approvingly...
I don't think it's fair to attribute the bigoted dumpster fire of Social Darwinism to Darwin himself.

Dear gen Z, raw dog means to fuck without a condom
Dear boomer, words evolve.
The sentiment still applies.
The term has also been further bleached to just mean doing something raw, rough, hard.
and they're about to find out what that means.

Tuberculosis bacteria:
Wait you can get TB from raw milk?!
Among other things. TB was one of the main reasons we started pasteurizing milk in the first place.
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.
The word you’re looking for is dipshits.
So, RFK?
dad, no!
"Yes, son! I can't fulfill my destiny as Mooman any other way..."
The Meatcanyon videos will be glorious.

By the time RFK jr. is done, the vegetables will have a warning label for Haber–Bosch nitrogen and MAGA will insist their food be grown on untreated human feces.
It is already a well established fact that plants crave electrolytes.

I think the best redirect would be to convince them to "self-pasteurize" their milk. You can make an entire ecosystem of grift products on the best home pasteurizers to avoid harmful toxins or whatever the current buzzword is.
Can't wait to hear some idiot say something like "I never get sick from raw milk. I just put the container in boiling water for a few seconds. So much safer than pasteurized."
"It's not that I'm against vaccines, it's just that I want my body's own antibodies to fight off the virus."
Time for killer T cell completion: 10 days. Time for virus to turn your lungs into mush: 4 days.
"Sure thing there buddy! Good luck! Mind if I borrow your lawn mower? I'll get it back to you next time I see you!"
I damn near throttled someone who said that to me. They said the COVID vaccine was too risky, and they'd rather get a real immunity from actually getting it.
They thought the COVID vaccine was more risky than actually catching COVID?
Counterpoint: this would prevent people who can be convinced to drink raw milk from getting listeria
You incorrectly assume the grift products have to actually do anything. Just give them a few lights and a little fan at the back which spins for a few minutes to make it sound like it's doing anything. Can be super cheap to make, it doesn't even need a heating element!

Raw milk is a disease vector for H5N1 right now, and as been for most of the year.
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2405371. (Location for the sick worker in the article: Texas)
Why it doesn’t matter so much for those of us not working directly with cows is pasteurization. In my household, we’ve since switched to ultra pasteurized in the cases we’ve not been doing that already, just to play safest.
The more humans that catch H5N1, the more likely it is to take and make a vector out of humans.
To be fair, it is often good to avoid processing your food. However this does not include the cleaning aspect of that food. Would you suddenly stop washing your fruits and vegetables? Flashing a little heat on the milk for safety is fine. It doesn’t create the milk equivalent of beef jerky or a ritz cracker. If you’ve ever spent any time in a milking barn, among cows, or seen the milking process you might not even drink milk after. You’ll want bacteria and virus death in your milk.
But wait, Zeph, surely this process is only effective for bacteria, we’ve always been taught that the same means of death for bacteria don’t typically work on viruses. (Antibiotics). Pasteurization is it’s own thing.
TF is "ultra-pasteurized"?
It was invented by Nigel Tufnel.
I mean, we should have an image of the Germans who applied it to milk, pretty sure Pasteur did it for the booze and some other dudes were like "hey bro we did that same technique on milk and now way less babies die."
Pasteur did it for the booze
Make room Robin Williams, I have another hero for the top spot on my hero list.

So you know the "is this toothbrush approved by the dental association of America" line from Home Alone (approximate transcription)
my new joke is asking "is this milk pasteurized?" in that voice
