I am a 5th generation farm daughter. I drank raw milk everyday until I went to college. We skimmed all the cream off and made butter and whipped cream from raw milk.
Nothing beats fresh milk.
We sold our milk to HOOD and every other day when the 18 wheeler came up into our small Vermont Dell they tested the milk before they took it. There are stick rules on sanitation. Raw milk spoils faster that the super-pasteurized stuff in the stores. Giving milk a longer shelf life and getting it to more consumers was the original intent. Thanks for the great thought provoking post.

i love these stories about milk – i’m always sending them out to friends and family.

when i got pregnant and told my GP i didn’t drink milk she looked at me in horror!

“How do you plan on getting enough calcium?” she asked.

“Spinach!”

she did not seem impressed.

doctors!

Amen to what Coconutgal said. I’ve been following Schmidt’s story for years and believe that if one is going to drink cow’s milk, raw is the way to go. I keep saying that if the milk is regularly tested before it goes to consumers there shouldn’t be a problem.

I wonder if the milk industry is behind this in any way.

Ami- So happy that you are enjoying my blog. Goat and sheep milks are my go-to if dairy is needed for anything- usually in the form of yogurts or raw cheeses. I will be writing about goat milk in a week or so- with a giveaway to go with it (no… not a goat).

Coconutgal- Great to hear from you! I saw the movie on Friday. Fantastic! And I know… what to do what to do. I think we just keep doing what we’re doing, living the way we live and leading and inspiring by example.

Amen sista.
You last line: “This basic right, has become nearly impossible, and the law is not on our side in this matter.” — really gets me. What can we do about all this? I saw Food Inc this weekend and it just ignited my passion even more that we need to DO something about all this junk. So much processing and pasteurization going on! What on earth is the health of our planet going to look like in 20, 50, 100 years?!!

Hi Meghan, I first have to say how much I love your blog and recipes (and your cheery videos ). I was just wondering your thoughts on goat milk? I made the switch a little while back to goats milk and goat cheese due to having problems digesting cow’s milk and cheese. It seems to have helped the digestive issues but I am just curious your thoughts on the health benefits/concerns etc.
