Being anti pasteurization is the one that really gets me. Like it's just heating up the milk slightly for a brief period of time. It's really simple and not scary science that's easily misunderstood. Like what about heating up milk is dangerous?

The only thing I've been able to come up with is that it's a conspiracy theory of manufactured panic to send people down the right wing pipeline.

I think it's partly leftover dribble from the inane Gaia "theory" that was so strong in hippie circles. Everything natural (like bacteria in milk) is good, and you know, gut bacteria, yogurt, 's all good, right?

Combine that with "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" beliefs that they don't realize come from right wing nuts and you got a perfect diarrhea inducing cocktail that we all get to pay for with our taxes and our nerves.
