It’s so bizarre to see this discussion play out on the basis of “health”

Because there is a legitimate discussion to be had about the economics of how milk pasteurization requirements have affected local dairy farms. How the unsanitary conditions of industrial scale milk production have made it a necessity. How marketing and corporate interests have shifted consumption patterns.

And yet these fucking dipshits have turned this in to “pasteurized milk personally harms you!” In grifter circles.

How screwed are we that we can’t talk about the complexities of how corporate farming practices have effected our food supplies with out couching it in terms of “health food”.

I cannot express how much I hate the term “health food”. There is no such fucking thing as a “health food”.

It makes me want to rip my hair out when these topics come up.
