Ever drank Raw Milk?
 

It's funny reading about how our food supply is handled by the government
In California, it's illegal to sell raw milk?

Ron Paul is trying to fix that
So I read up on raw milk, I've had it before, just strained thru cheese cloth and it's a meal by it's self. It's healthy to drink, much more than pasteurized.
Pasteurized takes out a lot of the calcium and healthy bacteria thats good for us

Of course this leads to the safe food act they just passed. Raw foods will be harder and harder to get, I grew a garden last summer. You can't find fresher or better tasting than that

You know that stuff is for infant cows and nothing else right?

People can circumvent the law by purchasing raw milk for their "pets" to drink.

I rarely drink milk anymore. As a kid we would go to the dairy and get a glass of milk for free.

I love it, it tastes way better than pasteurized milk. :2 cents:

Around here you can buy it but you have to go to the farm, they (the farmers) aren't allowed to come to town to sell it.

Almond milk ftw.

I drink Vanilla Soy Milk from Costco.

I was raised on a dairy - milk is it's best warm, right from the tit.

You're right. Nothing better than a glass of warm milk directly from the cow's utter!

no milk these days.

Been years since I did. Haven't had a milk cow since I was a kid. Try making homemade Ice cream with fresh milk. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD.

:thumbsup

ALMOND MILK!!

Raw milk is tasty :thumbsup

Try with fresh goats milk double WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD.

<--- was raised on raw milk.

None of that pasteurized crap here.

never been much of a milk fan. When I was a kid, we used to go to a speciality store that only sold milk, by the liter.

This was raw milk, you take it home and boil it, let it cool then drink it. It formed a skin on top after boiling, which was skimmed and it was a treat.

We also used to make youhurt out of it during the summer months.:thumbsup

They sell raw milk here outside supermarkets. They advise you to boil it first as unboiled there's a risk of diarrhea. Apparently it has bacteria in we're not used to.

Skimmed milk is little more than colored water IMO. We drink the raw milk, after it's boiled.

Yes. And ate raw eggs.

I've had it, but didn't like it. It is too rich for my taste.

Why drink the milk when you can eat the cow?

Growing up on a farm, I used to drink raw cow's milk and goat's milk. I liked goat's milk better

milk is pasteurised for a reason.

yes i did, and it's not some fun :)

Thats not milk that is juice.

So grocery stores can store it longer?

Yes but first it was boiled before drinking.

that is an added bonus, but its ti protect against TB, ecoli, salmonella etc.

If you're going to boil it you might as well buy it pasteurised, it's the same as boiling but done super fast so the proteins won't be ruined.

You either drink the milk raw and risk botulism or whatever or you buy it pasteurized, and be safe.

never a big milk fan. did have raw goat milk once many years ago.

Forget cow milk. Raw goat milk digests much better. The best raw goat milk comes from the Amish and is 100% grass fed. I feed it to our baby girl every day and her skin just glows. I also put blue green Algae into her drink. Watch out world.

California also produces the majority of Almonds in the world but a few years ago raw almonds were also made illegal. But you can still buy directly from the farmer. Organic Pastures in California sells them. You can make amazing almond milk!

I grew up on a farm as well. I couldn't stand warm milk on my breakfast ceral, way too thick and creamy for me.

I am living near a couple of farms so yes we do use it in our household.

Not to mention raw milk doesn't have vitman D in it either.

I used to drink Raw Milk on my grandmothers farm in Croatia. It tastes a little funky but I liked it. Its the difference between a McDonalds Burger and a Grassfed organic gourmet burger

Why do they always use "scare tactics" that seem false. Like claiming drinking milk frequently causes "rickets","bad teeth" and " constipation", thats strange , i have drank thousands of glasses of milk and never experienced any of those.

Yeah, because most farms where 97% of the food comes from are so fucking distusting that you have to kill the milk so it is "safe" to drink.

Try buying from a local small producer who lets you visit the farm to see their practices. I actually know the names of the goats who produce our milk. My daughter's favorite goat is named Grace and that goat eats better, is treated better, and is happier than 99% of humans.

<-------- originally a farm boy.

very few natural foods have vitamin d in them. we are designed to get our requirement of it from the sun. i'm sure you know that eh

The vitamin d is added, it replaces all the things pasteurization takes out thats good for you.

I prefer raw goat milk.

It's the best kind if your source is clean. French know this, that's why they have the best cheeses.

Great stuff! Better to cook with, healthier... usually can't buy it because it ships badly, but when I worked on a dairy farm I used to have some straight from the udders, or we'd pour it into jugs from the bulk tank every day for breakfast.

If you run a regulated or at least hygienic farm, raw milk shouldn't do anything to you. My sister's kids still drink it many times a day...

:D
