Here's the Scoop

Think of milk pasteurization like cooking chicken - we don't eat chicken raw because we know it needs to be cooked to be safe, right? Milk is actually pretty similar. Back in the day (we're talking pre-1900s), people got sick from milk ALL THE TIME. Then this really clever scientist named Louis Pasteur figured out that heating milk to just the right temperature could make it safe while keeping all the good stuff we love about it.

— “but they’re less sure she would change the country for the better?”

Seriously?! In contrast to #Republican #WannabeDictator #DonaldTrump, who openly aligns with #whitesupremacist beliefs, this statement is absolutely absurd.

The choice for Black Americans between Vice president Kamala Harris, who represents progress, and Trump, who's a convicted felon and aligned with dangerous extremist ideologies, should be crystal clear to everyone.
