Every time I hear about the freaks trying to push for raw milk I recall this poster and the fact that, in 1912, people would immediately familiar with what the baby on the left represented. because they'd likely seen children die that way

Raw milk is one of those things I'd try once for the novelty of it, and then never again, so as to not get sick. Not exactly the basis for a popular product, getting ill.
tbh i had it once as a kid, when we went on a school trip to a farm. it didn't taste any different, mostly i remember it being very cold from the storage tank. not exactly worth the risk
In WW2 my grandma bought raw milk from a farmer. My dad caught TB from it, which attacked his spine, so age 8, he spent 2 yrs with his spine immobilized in a cast, lying on a hospital bed, in a ward full of dying old men, reading backwards via a mirror above his head with visitors just once a week
I’ll see raw milk or cheese made from raw milk at the grocery store and it’s so annoying that I have to shop with an added layer of vigilance to make sure I’m actually buying pasteurized dairy products because anti vaxxers want to live like it’s the Middle Ages.
You're seeing raw milk at grocery stores? Not in the US, surely.
Raw milk cheese is more common and considered safer (hard cheeses more so than soft). That's kind of the point of cheese- you grow beneficial bacteria and they outcompete harmful ones, and release enzymes that kill them.
Obviously not 100% safe, but raw milk cheese isn't the same type of thing as raw milk in terms of risk.
Tbh if a store is selling raw milk I wouldn't shop there. The only place I've ever seen that was a hippie natural food place I worked at once and a lot of what they did was legally questionable.
Also iirc, they gave up on the raw milk pretty quick because it was like a bazillion dollars and had an extremely short shelf. Anyway, it was a dubious place, I would not recommend shopping there!
And you know they've read no history of the era, they know nothing about what people's lives (or deaths) were like, it's entirely based on their imagination and maybe some fantasy movies they've seen.

Maybe we should be hanging these up around town again.
It's different than the others and kinda looks like they corrected an apostrophe mistake lol.
What a bitch typos would have been!
