    I've tried to convince my wife that Bacon must be healthy because you leave all the fat in the in pan. :bigsmile:

    I don't think she believes me yet :)

    My mother constantly tries to convince me that fruit gummies are healthy becasue they "contain real fruit". She's always trying to give them to my son as a "healthy" snack. :grumble:

    Agreed... tons of sugar and questionable additives... BTW, love the name :) I can only assume you are a gamer ;P

    :happy: How'd you guess? Lol

    Just an educated guess :) Fan of the dragon queens, I presume :) I love that game :blushing:

    I have a friend whose wife and child drank raw milk from a local dairy. They later found out that one of the cows had rabies, and everybody who had milk from the dairy had to go in for rabies treatment (a LOT of injections). If the milk had been pasteurized, there would not have been any danger from the rabies. All pasteurization does is remove microorganisms from the milk.
    The most ridiculous thing that I hear a lot is that pasteurized milk is better & safer than raw milk. A very BIG BS!!

    For starters, I knew that many people in here would also argue that. I'd encourage you to do some research before answering. It's not milk's fault that the cow was sick, and the owner whoever they was sold it to you.

    And its not the waiters fault that the kitchen didn't clean the plates and I got sick, but I'd still prefer my plates clean thanks

    Not sure what you mean. Of course it wasn't the milk's fault the cow had rabies. It was probably bitten by a rabid animal. The point is, the milk, being unpasteurized, could have been toxic. Had it been pasteurized, it would have been safe. What's wrong with pasteurizing milk?

    I don't see where fault comes in to this.

    The farmer couldn't magically know that a rabid animal had got in and bitten one of his animals. If the milk had been pasteurised then it wouldn't have been an issue.

    It's like when cooking chicken - you don't leave any of it pink. The chicken probably doesn't have salmonella, but it's just not worth the risk so you cook it til there is no chance of the bug living.

    There once was a man from Liberia
    Who had a bad case of listeria
    From raw milk gone bad.
    It made him so sad
    To spend hours in the loo with diarrhea*.

    *pronounced: die-EERIE-uh
