Joe Rogan on the Government's War on Raw Milk

I don't have good access to raw milk. Where do you get it? Let go of a health food store, like Sprouts or something like that. I should try that. Yeah, I think they have it at Erewhon. Maybe Whole Foods has it. It's really tricky because it's not even legal in some places to have whole milk. In fact, people have been arrested and just locked up for having whole milk. Yes. Well, Google that because it's pretty preposterous. When you think about how easy it is to buy whiskey, and then think about people buying whole milk. That whole milk is apparently for some people. It might have just something to do with skirting, FDA regulations, and things along those lines. It gets very complicated for sure. The reason for homogenization and pasteurization is obviously health. We're trying to protect people. Also, it's shelf life. It stays on the shelf longer, but I've definitely bought it. There's a small, what is it called? A small group, food group? Raw Food Club? They were raided in 2011 for sharing raw milk or something. The latest raw milk raid, an attack on food freedom? Federal agents organize a sting operation against a tiny raw milk buying club and ignore more serious food safety concerns. Yeah, like Twinkies. How hard is it? You can, I'm sure, get food poisoning from spoiled milk, but isn't spoiled milk yogurt ultimately? Here's what I do with food. If it stinks, I don't eat it. Good move, bro. I think milk, you smell pretty quickly if it's going bad. This involved unwashed room temperature eggs. The other count. Unwashed room temperature eggs. A storage method Rossum members prefer. By the way, when we had chickens, or these nasty coyotes, killed all my chickens, we would store our eggs at room temperature. We put them in a bowl, we would wash the outside of the egg, and put them in a bowl, and they would sit on the counter, and I was eating them all day long. Nothing happened. Healthy as fuck. Agents dumped gallons of raw milk and filled a large flatbed with the seized food, including coconuts. We seized your fucking coconuts. Watermelons and frozen buffalo meat. What the fuck? What is this, agents? Who are these assholes that are getting paid government money from our taxes to steal frozen meat? Jesus Christ. Christopher Darden, who helped prosecute O.J. Simpson, appeared at Stewart's arraignment just in time to lower his bail. All right, so Christopher Darden's out there helping people. Whatever. Gross. I mean, I don't think you should, you know, we should somehow or another find out whether there's a way to test if this raw milk is fresh enough for people to eat. But if it is, people who live on farms have been drinking raw milk since the beginning of time. It's normal and healthy. It tastes better. It's way easier for you to digest. Like I get a little weird when I drink straight. Like if I have milk and cookies, which I love, I don't know what, maybe it's the cookies or the milk. Hmm, I might be full shit here. Now that I'm thinking about it, the cookies might be what's messing with my stomach. I don't think so though, because you get this feeling from the milk, like the, it's probably both. Now that I think about it, it's both. Well in France, you get the unpasteurized cheese. Yes. My friend Jean-Marc used to bring it back in his luggage. He would smuggle back for a raclot. You know what that is? Yeah. It's like a dish that he would make with meat and cheese. Yeah, that's good. But I don't hear the French dying in droves either. They seem to be healthy as fuck and they're not as fat. Right. Yeah. Their bread is better. They have bread that is not from, they don't have modern wheat. So the wheat that they have is not engineered to have more complex gluten and higher yield like we do. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
