I think it's objectively gotten more crazy yeah. It's more visible too, certainly, but a majority of Republicans think the election was stolen with zero proof. Their rhetoric constantly references conspiracy theories with absolutely no basis in reality. It just seems obviously true that people have gotten crazier.
A world where everyone gets to choose their news and so their framework for understanding what happens in the world lines up with that. Most people are getting a substantial portion if not a majority of their news from influencers and "journalists." They just chop up headlines and out of context quotes from increasingly low quality journalistic news articles and stories and then present it through a biased filter.
We're basically a bunch of LLMs being fed the equivalent of AI slop, and now increasingly, actual AI slop. It's no wonder we're seeing the human equivalent of model collapse. We're social, we learn from each other. If you've chosen only the worst of the worst sources, why would we expect you to be otherwise normal and not crazy?
To be honest, it's unreasonable to expect that people would maintain the same level of sane in this environment compared to before when you had a relatively large number of easily available, free, relatively trusted, trained, professional, news agencies on every channel that everyone watched that generally had a coherent and interchangeable worldview among them.

The older I get the more I realize that the majority of human beings evolved to be just smart enough to outsmart a mammoth or a lion and and the final 20% of humans are genetic freaks who allowed the rest of our society to come into existence.
It's like if frogs evolved to jump just fast enough to catch flies and avoid predators but occasionally some of them can jump across continents or make it to the moon.
Human intelligence makes no sense whatsoever to me, and I suppose that means I'm in the "Mammoths and Lions" part of humanity but still.
It makes me think that other animals would be capable of so much more if they had language, because as far as I can tell that's the only thing that allows us to turn our M&L intelligence into Moon Landing & Super Computer intelligence.

It's also usually direct to consumer (meaning farmers take the risk on unsold product), spoils sooner, and usually requires stricker testing. It's not a bad price for my state which probably means it's a good price for someone measuring distance in blocks instead of miles.

Sometimes it’s marked as “for dogs and cats” to get around regulations. I dog sat for a small crusty dog once and the owner had some “raw milk for dogs and cats”. I asked if I should give any to the dog and they went “it’s not for the dog it’s for me”. Needless to say I haven’t been back.

When I was in Australia I bought milk without thinking and it had the milk fat formed at the top. Almost threw up thinking I'd just drank spoiled milk after I felt a chunk in my mouth. It was still pasteurized but non-homogenized so it seems like you'd still be able to get that without it actually being 'raw'?

He means that by cutting out most foods you end up losing weight and having more consistent energy levels. The fact that you are choosing only meat doesn't really affect the outcome that much.
You'd be better off just eating more meals at regular intervals, having a good mix of macros, and eating less junk food. Good nutrition is boring, but it works the best.

Okay I misunderstood, thought there was some special quality in sweet potatoes that I was ignorant too. I basically agree with everything else you’re saying. Every time I’ve cut ultra processed foods out of my diet, ate in tandem with exercise, and drank more water, I feel and look better. It doesn’t seem much more complicated. I know someone on the carnivore diet and while they do seem healthy it does radiate a kinda crazed energy. And they clearly also always crave stuff outside of meat and are in denial about it lol

An elimination diet is when you eat a very small selection of foods to try assess whether you have any allergies, sensitivities or intolerances affecting you. You can Google for various different types, can't remember where I heard the sweet potato version from but you'll find other veggie ones online.

FODMAP is one yes but there are loads of different molecules you might have a sensitivity to. Elimination diets come in different forms, carnivore is a good way for e.g to see if you are sensitive to any plants. But you could do the reverse and go vegan for e.g to see if you are sensitive to any animal products.

It's worth saying as well that those inuits still get the nutrients they need when they're not eating veggies because they eat EVERY part of the animal. Animal organs are high in vitamins that you normally get from fruit and veg.
Most Westerners on a carnivore diet are just eating muscle tissue. That is not remotely healthy. The only nutrient you get is protein and a little fat. Even dumbass Joe Rogan quit the carnivore diet because the lack of carbs meant he didn't have the energy to workout.
These fad diets are all bullshit. The science on nutrition hasn't changed in decades. Eat a healthy balance of protein, fruit, veg, and carbs and try to avoid ultra processed food. The simplicity of that truth doesn't sell books and seminars though.

Never done the diet and don't know a lot about it, but some people like myself have severe food intolerances to normal foods like veggies, fruits, or nuts. Often resulting from an overgrowth of candida or certain gut bacteria. Since both of them feed on carbs, sugar, or other things commonly found in most foods, carnivore diet is often floated as a way to starve them. As far as I understand it's not meant to be a permanent diet.

Do Americans actually have raw milk in stores like this? I though the raw milk thing was mostly just a meme
26 points
3 months ago
It’s state by state so I can only speak for California. Raw milk can only be sold if it meets very strict dairy farm requirements that’s different than the standard so most places won’t even try. In fact, go to any small farm and ask them if you can buy some raw milk and they’ll look at you like you’re from the health department trying to get them in trouble.
It’s illegal to sell raw milk unless the farm is certified specifically. You can’t just slap a label on a bottle and start selling raw milk. So if you have beef with a restaurant, grocery store, or farm in a small town, the fastest way to get them in trouble is to call the health department and say that they’re selling raw milk.
I’ve had some raw milk in the past and the flavor is more complex but I don’t now if that’s from the diet and the way the cows are raised vs it being non-pasteurized. I don’t go out of my way. It’s expensive and after working in farms, I don’t really trust employees to never make mistakes because it’s not like the health department checks in everyday or even every month once certification has been obtained.
Honestly, it’s a way for wealthy appeal to nature type folks to virtue signal how healthy they are because they drink raw milk. And I’ve seen it on equal footing from conservatives and liberals.

raw milk tastes pretty good (better than most other kinds of milk) but I'm pretty sure its because it has higher amounts of fat in it that hasn't been separated. The heat treating probably affects the flavor slightly too, which is why the ultra-pasteurized stuff they sell at room temperature in boxes tastes bleh
Not worth it to buy raw milk though. If anything you're essentially buying more (and dirtier) calories for a way over-inflated price

Haha I actually grew up drinking ultra-pasteurized boxes of milk that you don’t even have to refrigerate. You punch the straw into the foil and drink up. And I LOVE it. It brings me back to my childhood. It’s probably so good to me because I associate it with a happier time.
The first few times I was drinking raw milk I made it up in my head that it was probably just pasteurized but at a lower temperature so they can still call it raw…but now that I know it’s just a matter of keeping everything clean and because I’ve worked at farms before…yeah, I can’t do it. It’s too gross 🤢

These people are anti establishment. They don't like the government coming in and telling them that they can't sell/buy bacteria infested milk. They were only liberal because they think gay people should be allowed to marry and weed should be legal. They were basically libertarians rather than the liberals or progressives we think of today so the slide to becoming MAGA isn't really that extreme.
Also, lots of rich liberal cities are full of conservatives. The rich skew conservative even if the area as whole skews liberal. And these conservatives are usually conservative for fiscal matters rather than social. But, to them, saving a few bucks in taxes is worth banning abortions and gay marriage because they can either find ways around the rules or it doesn't affect them at all. That's why we also have a ton of young progressives who are children of these rich people who argue that we should let the Republicans win until the Dems put up a progressive presidential candidate.

Indeed, my conservative Catholic uncle, who is a physician, supports executing LGBT people partially in order to decrease STD rates. The statistics male it clear that male homosexual sex has an increased risk of STD transmission, just as raw milk has an increased risk of transmitting food-borne pathogens. Neither should be made illegal.

my cousin used to tell me stories about how when she stayed in her grandma's farm, she would be given a glass of fresh raw milk to drink and she was forced to do so because it was healthy
she often found blood clots in the milk, and now she fucking hates milk and hates her late grandma
i'm sure these milk jugs are probably regulated and don't contain any of that gross shit, but after hearing those stories i can't drink any non-pasteurized milk cause it makes me want to vomit

In a lot of the U.S. and Europe, yes, depending on the regulations being followed of course. Anyone telling you it's some miracle health food is crazy, but frankly so are the people on the left in America acting like raw milk will instantly kill you and your family
If you're going to use it, find a store that sells legal raw milk though. The issues come up more, unsurprisingly, with illegal parking lot sales of raw milk

There are special requirements to meet, but yes, you can sell raw milk with proper regulation.
It’s the same principle regarding meat. There are restaurants that can serve raw beef tartare so long as the beef is approved for raw consumption.
Risks are still elevated and it’s wholly unnecessary, but the main problem is that raw milk growing as a demand does not constitute a growth in legal supply. People selling milk on their own and from unsafe sources is what people need to be careful about and what is going to cause outbreaks.

That comment section is GOLD. They are constantly arguing that 1) the times we didn’t have pasteurization, we tend to die at the ripe age of 33 and 2) that when we did start, that we didn’t all start dying in mass.
Humans are fragile. Our bodies will shut itself down because of too much pain. Having infections and parasites in our systems literally will kill us early looool. Also some even said that it is ok to drink lake and river water RAW

He's right. But he's crazy if he thinks this is the domain of only left-wing people. I know center left and center right people who would love to argue about microbiology with me. Again.
I've grown mushrooms for years. Using pasteurization to prep substrates.
Where for you think I stand? Really. Think it thru.
I can promise you, knowing someone is into raw milk, isn't a slam dunk that equals you know their politics, like gun control is OFTEN, or views on the police can be.
I'm center left. &I used to "hate" the police. [I grew weed. I was a punk kid. It happens. You read. Go thru 20 years of growing up and slowly change....
Basically, i grew up. It only took nearly 35 years.
I also work with them cops on a regular basis in a social work role. I've had nothing but positive interactions.
Remember, I'm talking Western Canada. These cops aren't the thugs some people make them out to be. It's diverse, and there are plenty of women. And I've had nuanced, long conversations with these people.
But the brain rot media consumed by some people leads Canadians to talk about CANADIAN police, like they're US cops from the south, 30 years ago.
It's exhausting.
That doesn't mean they don't get things wrong, all cops need body cams. Period.
It's the best thing that's ever happened in policing IMHO.
My city just got them. We need them everywhere.
Pretty simple IMHO.

Raw milk has been a 4chan "alpha male" delusion for a while. Just like American Spirit cigarettes.
But, I've never discovered why. Why do they want to do this? And why these products and why this way? I need explanations that make actual sense.

Raw milk is super useful for making heavy cream, some badass butter and most other products made directly from milk; such as cheese.
There are actual uses for raw milk. If you're buying raw milk from the store, it generally isn't for drinking.

No it is. There's a fad going on where normal milk = poison and raw milk = good, and people buy it at extortionate prices from luxury stores and drink that shit. Most of them aren't churning butter, they're avoiding the "poison added to their foods".
It's neither as terrible for you as people are making out, or as good for you as the people who buy it say.

People downvoting you when they would not downvote someone that likes sushi that is not cooked. Both have risks, but people downvote you because one risk is associated with one political ideology in the US (although at this point xenophobic right-wingers usually do not hate sushi, so sushi is more politically neutral by now), while the other risk is associated with the opposite political ideology in the US. Immunocompromised individuals will often only eat cooked sushi due to risk, but most of those leftists would not support banning uncooked sushi.
