They're idiots. Some believe it's because pasteurized milk had added chemicals, which isn't correct, pasteurization is simply heat. But idiots will be idiots.
For others it's the general anti-science/education bullshit going around now. The crossover with the anti-vax is nearly a circle it seems.
"I'm going to buy the least healthy version of the least healthy kind of milk." —Folks concerned about their health
I genuinely feel bad. It's like they're so close. Going out of your way to care about your health is good. Challenging broad societal assumptions is good. It's just that this completely fell apart when they arrived at the "now weigh the sources critically" stage. The charlatans who sold them this idea for profit should be in prison.
