In March a farm worker who reported no contact with sick or dead birds, but who was in contact with dairy cattle, began showing symptoms in the eye and samples were collected by the regional health department to test for potential influenza A. Experts have now confirmed the first case of highly pathogenic avian influenza transmission from a mammal (dairy cow) to a human.

If you go far enough down the political spectrum everything comes together eventually, and I think raw milk is one of those points. Both right and left seem to have an equal standing.

Lefties are interested in it for the natural side or its different cooking properties. Rightys are making sure the government isn't putting female replacement hormones or some nonsense when pasturizing.

And here I am, drinking half and half because I need to go to the store.
