US food and drink MAGA raw milk
An American asked for tips for ‘extending the shelf life of raw milk’ and it’s a terrifying insight into the state of the US right now
A lot of Americans (namely the MAGA cultists) now have a bit of an obsession with drinking ‘raw milk’ – the unpasteurised ‘straight from the cow’ stuff which can potentially be contaminated with deliciously wholesome bacteria such as salmonella, listeria and E. Coli.
Despite this, sales of raw milk in the US have risen by 65% in the last year, boosted by anti-establishment beliefs that scientific processes which remove the bacteria shouldn’t be trusted.
Friday was our last day selling Grade A milk commercially. Saturday started with selling raw milk from the tank. We're back to selling like we did over 100 years ago. pic.twitter.com/LgWruYLFU6

Twitter user Val Thor is a fan, and asked a raw milk dairy for tips for extending its shelf life.
ANY SECRET TO EXTENDING SHELF LIFE OF RAW MILK?

And the replies were a terrifying insight into the state of the US right now. Lots of people were joking of course, but this person? We’re not so sure …
It can keep for like 6 months in glass jars. non refrigerated.
Oh, and you can easily make cheese by adding rennet and pressing it in a dark place for like a day. Wow so cool.— Natalie Bright (@OMNatalieBright) February 3, 2025
Or this person.
Raw milk doesn't go bad like pasteurized does. The flavor and consistency will change but it actually gets healthier the longer you let it sit.

This person’s definitely not.
People have been brainwashed and conditioned to think raw milk is bad. They just accepted it as true without doing their own research.

Or indeed this person.
Yes, silver. Before refrigeration, people used silver containers or even put silver dollars in milk to keep it fresh longer.

Now these people actually were joking.
I believe that storing it in direct sunlight keeps it fresh for longer – sunlight is a natural antibacterial.

Toads. They secrete antimicrobial film from their skin. It’s an ancient Russian trick

We’ve found bull milk last the longest. It’s hard to get it started when milking but look out in about 2 mins time.

You need to buy a cow so that you can store the milk back in it at night.
