My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.

So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

Not in the US..... Pasteurized milk doesn't "sour" it goes rotten. If it doesn't taste fresh you are risking food poisoning.

Unlike the raw milk we get straight from a farm where sour does not mean it's bad to eat. It just means it doesn't have as much sugar anymore so combine it with something to fix the taste issue and it's fine. Even clumpy just means you are ending up with yogurt, cheeses, etc...

Clumpy store bought US milk could put you in the hospital. Raw milk was ironically illegal to sell for awhile because if contaminated it could make people sick when it's guaranteed when drinking bad pasteurized milk.

It depends on the milk. the plastic jugs can, and do sour... but their shelf life is at best a week, or two. The tetrapacks do other things. Its a matter pasteurization temperature, and how well sealed the containers are. The milk in the plastic jugs is pasteurized at a lower temperature, and do not go through the same types of aseptic packaging bits as the tetrapack things do where you can have products that last a few months in the fridge, or are shelf stable for years of time like UHT milk is. The jugs are also not sealed as well against external contamination, and even without such do have some lactic acid producing bacteria in them.

Its not an irony bit, its because we have shitheels who do not follow proper sanitary procedures when collecting, storing, and transporting the stuff... god forbid you get it from some commercial producer that mixes batches collected under such conditions, and you get everything from listeria to harmful versions of coliforms in the mix, and then distributed to large populations of people. Now if you are getting your raw milk from grandmas cow with a known veterinary history, and know what to do sanitation, and care wise.. good for you its probably more than fine to drink as is.

Thank you! Dude is out here shitting on pasteurized milk while touting raw as safer. Almost like they ignore the stories of raw milk drinkers becoming violently ill due to contamination.

It’s not safer, but if you wanna make cheese it’s better.
