Sean, hello. Yo, Noam. Hello. Yoam. It's been a while. Yeah, we used to work together on Today Explained. It was a great time. So much that I still listen to every episode of Today Explained. Much love, much love. And I heard this episode that you guys did recently that I loved about raw milk. Oh, thank you. Yeah, I drank some raw milk. And you went to a farm? I hear. I went to a farm to do it, yeah. How did it go? I'm still alive, look at me. Yeah, okay. What is going on with raw milk right now? Why is everyone talking about raw milk? you know, it's been happening for a while. People probably know that someone who drinks raw milk, whatever it might be, but we thought let's take a look at this because once RFK enters the White House and becomes Secretary of Health and Human Services, all of a sudden you've got him doing like a shot of raw milk at the White House.
Yeah. They're not pushing it so hard. They're really getting on like the whole milk train. But there are dozens of pieces of legislation throughout the country currently making their way through state legislatures that seek to make it easier to sell and or drink raw milk. What do you think surprised you the most from hanging out with the farmers and tasting the milk? I think what's most interesting about this is if you talk to some people about raw milk, they want to condemn you for even considering the idea that you would drink non-pasteurized milk, which is essentially what we're talking about. But what's funny about it in this particular moment we're in is that... you can go to like a trendy grocery store in LA and just buy some raw milk.
You know, it's like to some people it's tantamount to being anti-vax and yet in California you can go to the grocery store and buy some raw milk. So this is one of those issues, like many issues in this country that is incredibly divisive and yet also that some parts of this country have just kind of moved right past and have accepted it to their lives. You know, it's interesting that you bring up the anti-vax conversation, because I do feel like conversations around raw milk tend to mirror some of the conversations I've had about vaccines, where like... People are just like, oh, why should I go get this vaccine? There's no measles around. Or, I mean, there kind of is measles more now. But I do think that people often forget how many people used to die from things like the measles and polio and all sorts of preventable diseases.
Like, vaccines have saved at least 100 million lives. And something I learned from your episode is that before pasteurization happened, You know, milk could lead to these tuberculosis outbreaks and typhoid outbreaks. Yeah. Tens of thousands of people, mostly children, used to die from drinking milk. Do you think people just don't remember what things used to be like or they don't want to think about what things used to be like and they're just taking for granted all of these incredible scientific achievements we've had to get us to the place where we are now?
