These shirts are for sale on their site: "What is Turning Point USA? Turning Point USA is a right-wing nonprofit with the stated mission “to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government.” I may not be a genius, but I do know that is not where I'd get my milk...

Yum yum, I love my milk with a side of salmonella, E. coli, listeria, and campylobacter!
ETA: My grandparents were dairy farmers, and I spent my childhood drinking raw milk straight from the cow. But it was fresh daily, and we knew exactly where it came from and how old it was. I would never drink raw milk from some random supplier.

Turning Point is somewhere between an opinion and propaganda. Don't drink the kool-aid.

Another that says if they want to drink it and as long as the it is labeled as such, I have no issues.
I also drank raw milk as a kid on my grandparent farm. But is was fresh milk, and truthfully I think is an aquired taste. 😄 I preferred our normal homogenized/pasteurized version we had at home. Under normal circumstances I would never purchase it to drink.

Funny too that the cow on the shirt is a bull.
We grew up drinking raw milk. Either from our cow, a neighbors or bought at the health food store. The health food store had to put “pet food” labels on the milk. But, everyone drank it.
I started to hate milk in college and no longer drink it.

What’s pictured on that shirt has horns and no utters. But I wouldn’t expect anything else from the brain trust at Turning Point

Funny too that the cow on the shirt is a bull. Rather of a steer?

Hehe. Raw milk with a side of horse paste. The best and brightest there.

If someone wants to drink raw milk, that's on them. However, don't claim to "educate" when you can't even print shirts with the correct animal on them. I just can't.

Almost all cattle are born with the ability to grow horns, even the females. Horns are part of their sinus cavity.

Honestly with what I read this week regarding bird flu and such, I'm not thinking any meat and milk is going to be safe to consume in the near future. And I'll look for the article I read this week, but it seems the government, FDA, Ag, are pretty much doing nothing about what could become the next pandemic really fast.

Could be a heifer. But still, no milk there. To your point, yes, the longhorn cattle here in Texas all have horns regardless of gender, as do highland cows in Scotland (and others, too, I'm sure).

Turning Point USA is a right-wing nonprofit with the stated mission “to identify, educate, train, and organize [br ]students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government.” This is something I talked to my kids about before they went to college. Both right wing and left wing groups trying to pull them in. And religious groups (which can go either right or left). They prey on young students who are easily led. ETA: My grandparents were dairy farmers, and I spent my childhood drinking raw milk straight from the cow. But it was fresh daily, and we knew exactly where it came from and how old it was. I would never drink raw milk from some random supplier. The source matters. I would not drink raw milk, but knowing the source and the sanitation would make a big difference. Funny too that the cow on the shirt is a bull. What’s pictured on that shirt has horns and no utters However, don't claim to "educate" when you can't even print shirts with the correct animal on them. I just can't. I'd say it could be a female. It doesn't have the udders of a wet milk cow for sure, and I guess it could be the penis, but depends on the angle. It looks a little far back for the penis. Horns are not a sign of male or female in bovine. Either sex can have horns. We remove any sign of a horn if some slip through the genetics, when we cut calves in the fall... but every sex goes through the chute that day. Bulls are cut, heifers get a Bangs vaccine and a tattoo. They could have picked a way better milk cow image for sure! LOL The Iowa governor makes sure her constituents can drink raw milk. Lovely of her.

Well growing up we bought our milk from the Mennonite farm behind us. Came in a big old glass gallon jar. Definitely raw, very likely never inspected. Probably way different from raw milk these days, but we all survived! You could always tell when the cows flipped from barn to pasture in the spring - there would be a funny/bitter taste to the milk until the pasture feeding was well underway, and the same in the fall when they went back to barn feeding.
I have mixed feelings on it - working in the food industry I absolutely see the need for regulations. But if people want to drink it, why stop them?

I am all for the "if people want to drink it, let them", however, this has become a calling card from certain people who would've laughed their asses off if it was suggested 5 years ago. Kinda like vaccines. Just don't tell me you're trying to educate people when your shirt advertisement for freedumb is a male cow. That, to me, says you're a jerkoff and you hope your followers are as well.

I’ve seen the whole “raw milk” trend on TikTok. (Well… I’ve seen stitches from doctors and scientists saying how dangerous it is). It’s almost always the far-right, antivax, flat-earth, don’t trust the guberment types.
I don’t care if they drink it. But I think it’s hilarious that they think it’s another way to own the libs.

It is illegal to sell raw milk for drinking in Australia, so the government is doing iwhat it can to stop people. But the crunchy people have found a work around - they sell their raw milk as a “beauty product” (for people to bathe in 🙄) rather than for human consumption.

What I find annoying are the people who think they are smarter than scientists, saying that pasteurized milk has fewer nutrients due to the process or other "facts." Just like how they understand the science of vaccines and are now promoting the idea of "turbo cancers."

Actually, that shirt illustration must be a steer. There is evidence of a penis, but no testicles.
