Lee DunaNewborn dies after mother drinks raw milk during pregnancy
Archangel1313You know, that kid’s probably better off this way. Having stupid parents would be rough.
Don’t underestimate the dangers of being caught in an info bubble.
There are (legitimate) worries about ultra processed food. Extending that to milk, and concluding that unprocessed milk is better is easy and reasonable. Taking that further to raw milk being better then seems equally reasonable. If you don’t get info from outside your bubble then it’s easy to end up where the mum was.
It’s also worth noting that less processed milk can taste considerably better than supermarket milk. I get (pasteurised) milk delivered from a local dairy. It’s significantly better, taste wise. Attributing that difference to being raw would be very easy. It then reinforces the biased information, and makes it look reliable.
Biases & fallacy of incomplete evidence are not reasonable.
Their willful ignorance is completely blameworthy.
My point is that it wasn’t necessarily willful ignorance. During pregnancy, women get an insane amount of information and warnings dumped on them. Filtering out the useless crap from the absolutely critical is not an easy task. That’s also without accounting for hormone induced “baby brain” throwing cognitive processes out of kilter.
It’s terrifyingly easy to make mistakes of this type, even for the intelligent. Saying the baby is better off dead is cruel and victim blaming.
By the time they’re pregnant, they’ve been on this planet long enough to know basic information literacy. The warnings of this fringe trend are commonplace. Rationalizing this idiocy is pathetic.
Saying the baby is better off dead is cruel and victim blaming.
and true. No fucks given: opinion of “cruel and victim blaming” discarded.
