There is a large correlation between polio and the spraying of DDT. The graph of polio and DDT is almost identical in timelines. Not saying there are other influence but it is a big one and when DDT was banned polio seemed to stop causing paralysis.
Interesting talk, as I am a big fan and consumer of raw milk. We used to have a local farm, but he moved…now we get our raw milk by mail order and that is working well. I make Kefir to add to the health benefits.
It’s against the law to sell raw milk in a shop in the UK, but you can sell the yogurt from raw milk.
Not a fan of milk anyway, It's fine but not a necessary food. We didn't evolve some symbiotic relationship with cattle. That said, the whole safety issue is the pernicious attack that they use to shut down any dissent. It is the precursor to calling everyone who you don't like a nazi. It is meant to shut down any conversation.
It is an attack that paints you as the bad guy for even questioning it.
I am not against pasteurization. Modern factory dairy farms are disgustingly unsanitary. The cattle are overcrowded and constantly standing around in a slurry of urine and feces. Try walking downwind of a dairy farm. They are a breeding ground for disease. The milk that comes from them should be required to be pasteurized if it is going to be consumed at all.
The real question is: Why they are allowed to keep animals in such unsanitary conditions in the first place?
Only someone so rich in the modern era would call a food " not necessary" I am sure you had a ancestor or two that found at times whatever was edible was necessary
It is a useful food. It is great for making cheese which has a long shelf life compared to milk. It is a fairly good protein source. It is a good source for a stable and pretty long lasting fat. It has many uses in food preparation.
That doesn't mean it is a food that is necessary for human life. Many cultures around the world do not drink cows milk. Prior to having refrigeration, it had such a short shelf life that it had to be used immediately if not processed into something else like cheese or butter.
I make cheese, which, is a fun and tasty hobby. I also live in a part of the world, where walking in the woods is forbidden with threat of capital punishment, and access to raw milk is all but impossible. Making cheese from pasteurised milk, is possible, but you really need to add bacteria back into the milk for it to develop properly. It is easier for me to by crack cocaine then raw milk.. with likely less legal punishments for the drug then the fluid.
Of course, not all cultures drink cows milk. Cattle take a lot of water, grass, space. Some cultures goats, sheep, water buffalo, or even camel were the go to milk source instead. Most cultures did develop milk in some form as a food staple. which lead to yogurts, cheese and kefir and a bunch of other products from the base lactose and fats.
All human cultures however were familiar with milk to some degree, as human mothers have been feeding milk to their offspring since long before we climbed down from the Savannah trees. Likely why this familiarity sparked the notion that milk from other mammals could at least keep a person from starvation if nothing else at hand.
Myself, I was raised on milk from Wolves! Maybe I should start an empire?
We used to keep milk goats and my mother would make cheese.
I guess it is just a philosophical difference in people. Some want government to minimally intervene in the least restrictive way that it can and others want to impose their will on others "for their own good" because they believe that they are better qualified to judge.
I think that there is a lot of fear involved as well. Some people are absolutely terrified of everything and think that they can somehow eliminate all risk if you pass enough laws. It brings about a lot of stupid laws like the ones for bicycle helmets when you are much more likely to get a head injury in the bathtub.

Only if you can get your brother to join in. :)
