@arstechnica Meanwhile, plenty of tasty safe cheddar is made in Cheddar, England.
Show threadJen X. ZerofuxMar 27
@MostlyHarmless @arstechnica the only cheddar made in Cheddar is made with raw milk (Cheddar Gorge Cheese and it's delicious). It's not the milk, it's the oversight as this sort of thing doesn't happen in other places with raw milk cheese as a norm.

Yes! This. Cheese is full of microorganisms. That's why it tastes like cheese. Raw cheese makes zero sense, because all cheese is cultured in some way. The only question is whether you're taking care to discourage toxic bacteria in your culture.

The only pasteurized cheese is American cheese, and nobody likes it. Nobody.

@teruterubozu @arstechnica

My point! Cheddar Gorge Cheese is indeed delicious.

Plenty of French cheese is made with raw milk too.

@teruterubozu @MostlyHarmless @arstechnica It seems the USA allows poor hygiene standards and technical remediation, see also chlorinated chicken and washed eggs that have to stored in a fridge. Europe prefers to enforce hygiene rules. This produces a better product and is better for animal welfare.

@arstechnica "The FDA highlighted that the people sickened in this outbreak are young, with over half being less than 5 years old. Children under 5 are particularly vulnerable to severe complications, including HUS, from the type of E. coli in this outbreak, which is a Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, or STEC."

@Seitansbraten @jenzi @Betinem just for clarification, I'm not the one who thinks that children who don't have a say on their diet deserve serious illness, the person I quoted is.
Show threadSeitansbratenMar 28

@ehproque @jenzi @Betinem no children have a say on what's on their plates - but if asked, most of them would prefer to avoid animal exploitation.

And science proved once more that a vegan diet is at least as good as an omnivor, sometimes even better because vegan parents of course a very keen on nourish their children well
