>albeit still gross, IMHO

are raw fruits/vegetables yucky to you too?

▲andybak 7 hours ago | parent [-]

Why do you make that comparison? It seems absurd to me.

pasteurization is just a heat treatment to remove bacteria. it isn't some fancy filtering process to remove the yucky bits.

fruits and vegetables are covered in bacteria too.

Fruits and vegetables are not liquid.

And uncooked vegetables are indeed a large source of food borne illness.

Rare steak is fine, rare chicken is not.

Your analogy is really bad.

and that is relevant how?

>And uncooked vegetables are indeed a large source of food borne illness.

so they are yucky too, after all?

thank you for your valuable input

Because it demonstrates some raw things are fine, and some raw things kill you? Like... duh?

I mean what are you really arguing here? We eat some raw stuff so that means anything raw, including milk, is perfectly safe to drink?

Just on it's surface that's such an absurd argument that I honestly doubt any human beings on Earth believe that. We're all well aware many raw substances are dangerous.

I'm arguing that if you find "raw" milk gross, then raw fruits and vegetables are gross too. washing them (i.e. splashing them with cold water for a few seconds under the sink) doesn't eradicate the bacteria crawling all over.

I don't understand why do you and the other poster sperg out about raw meat. I never said a damn thing about raw meat. no one eats raw meat, but millions of people drink "raw" milk. we drank "raw" milk for a few thousand years. "raw" milk is just milk.
