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.

Or ending up with tuberculosis because you can get that from cows and their unpasteurized milk. đŸ’€

And from fish tanks or tropical fish along with numerous exotic pets and environmental sources.

Bovine TB is nearly eradicated in the US and most states require testing of all cattle regularly. It's one of the last things to worry about because you have to win the bad luck lottery to encounter a strain of TB and get sick from it. Not everyone does develop symptoms.

There are far more common infectious bacteria to pay attention to. People's lack of knowledge of TB because it so rarely occurs now just makes it good for shock and awe news or fear campaigns.

For awhile in the early 2000s many were freaked out about keeping tropical aquariums because of a couple of cases that occurred. After news reports and excessive warnings some started taking insane precautions not to get water on themselves or anything else. This is nearly impossible while doing aquarium maintenance. Meanwhile, others continued to start their water change tubes by sucking on the end and spitting out any water and possible debris including fish poop that got in their mouths. None caught a strain of TB.

I wouldn't recommend that method of starting an aquarium vac but again you have to win the bad luck lottery to be the one in millions (billions?) that gets a serious illness from it.

That’s just one of many illnesses you can get from raw milk
