Facebook CEO Zuckerberg's Wisconsin visit: farm visit, raw milk, brats and cheese curds

Zuckerberg logged "a bunch of firsts" during the afternoon visit.

"First time feeding a calf, first time trying unpasteurized milk straight from a cow, first time driving a 70-year old tractor."

Of the raw milk, he said: "It was delicious."

Think milk can't be enjoyed like a fine wine? Bas de Groot, the world's first milk sommelier, disagrees. The California resident is hoping to bring awareness to the rich diversity of cow's milk—and change some minds in the process.

There are a vocal minority of folks who simply don’t want to drink pasteurized milk. Maybe they’re worried about the nutritional content, or not getting the good bacteria they need. Sure, they’re potentially subjecting themselves to tuberculosis or a Listeria infection, but it’s still a vocal group.

One team of researchers from Texas A&M University is studying a way to pasteurize milk without heating it. They’re inactivating the bacteria using equipment normally reserved for particle physics—an electron beam. Maybe raw milk fans will be able to have their milk and drink it safely.

“Raw milk has harmful pathogens and we need to eliminate the harmful pathogens,” study author Suresh Pillai, Director of the National Center for Electron Beam Food Research at Texas A&M, told Gizmodo. And “drinking raw milk for good bacteria is like playing Russian roulette.”

The growing popularity of unpasteurized milk in the United States raises public health concerns. We estimated outbreak-related illnesses and hospitalizations caused by the consumption of cow’s milk and cheese contaminated with Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Campylobacter spp. using a model relying on publicly available outbreak data. In the United States, outbreaks associated with dairy consumption cause, on average, 760 illnesses/year and 22 hospitalizations/year, mostly from Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp. Unpasteurized milk, consumed by only 3.2% of the population, and cheese, consumed by only 1.6% of the population, caused 96% of illnesses caused by contaminated dairy products. Unpasteurized dairy products thus cause 840 (95% CrI 611–1,158) times more illnesses and 45 (95% CrI 34–59) times more hospitalizations than pasteurized products. As consumption of unpasteurized dairy products grows, illnesses will increase steadily; a doubling in the consumption of unpasteurized milk or cheese could increase outbreak-related illnesses by 96%.

WEXFORD COUNTY, Mich. (WPBN/WGTU)-- A semi-truck pulling tank trailers of milk overturned in Wexford County.
It happened Saturday around 4:30 p.m. on the US-131 southbound ramp at M-55 in Cadillac.

According to the Wexford County Sheriff's Office, a semi driven by a 22-year-old was making a turn when the rear tanker trailer overturned onto its side.

Deputies say the trailer was carrying approximately 50,000 pounds of milk and around two thirds of the milk spilled onto the ground.

Just looking at that gallon of golden goodness is a birthday present.   Look how low on the gallon that creamline is......


It's like milk porn.

A mom was out of milk and “didn’t have time to run to the store.”

What mother hasn’t been there?

It was her solution — shared on Facebook — that is causing the huge, and predictable, social-media reaction.

The Sanctimommy Facebook page shared the post about a woman who used breast milk for the brownies destined for a school bake sale.

The mom “didn’t think it was a big deal (some of those kids could use the nutrition let’s be honest.”)
