I was just wondering what everyone's opinions are on raw milk?
I live on a dairy farm so I have naturally grown up drinking it and i think it is delicious.
But I just wanted other peoples opinions on the nutritional benefits and such.

We got our own goats last spring, including one milking doe, and I haven't had any milk except raw milk since then. Love it. It's great when I need something to help me satisfy hunger cravings. It really helps me on my no-sugar diet with the lactose satisfying those cravings. As long as you're sure of your source (healthy dairy animals and good cleanliness practices), I can't think of any negatives.0

I drank raw milk all the time as a kid and never had an issue. I'm totally pro-raw milk as long as you know the source. But then again, I go out of my way to buy unpasteurized almonds too.0

I actually stopped drinking dairy because I have to drive 80 minutes to get access to raw milk (and technically it's only for 'animal consumption' here in North Carolina). In a couple of years we're hoping to move somewhere with enough room for a goat, but until then. . .I'll just be jealous of you.0

I drink a lot of pasteurised (non-raw) milk. Anyone who is on my friends list will testify to this. But if I could get access to raw milk, then I would drink it. Raw dairy is great for you, as long as the animals area treated well. I due believe that milk lacks sufficient enzymes but I would not restrict it for this reason. And personally I don't have a problem with lactose.

I drink massive amounts of raw grassfed milk. It's the best milk ever. I also eat raw cheese, pastured eggs, and grassfed beef. I love living in Amish country!0

You are very fortunate and lucky to have access to raw milk.0 -

I just recently found a source for raw milk in my area this past January...I love it!0 -
It has not been legal where I live, although I would like to drink it. I think the current legislature was considering a bill to allow it but I don't think that went anywhere (not sure).0

It's illegal here in Ontario unless you own the cow. But theres a liquor store and a Micky D's on every corner, go figure.
Would love to get my hands on some raw milk but the 2 hour drive is a bit much.0 -

Do you follow Michael Schmidt's story? He's on my FB and I think it's completely asinine that you can't choose to drink raw milk but you can drink all the alcohol you like.0 -
I agree that raw milk is safe and good for you!0

Lucky you!:happy:0

Love raw milk! It's the best. It's also super easy to get your hands on in Washington State. :drinker:0

I'm looking for a local raw milk provider. I understand that I have to purchase a portion of a cow, (co-op) since selling raw milk is illegal in my state. Incidentally, I just read an article that says food poisoning is on the rise, in part due to raw milk... Scare tactics? We currently buy from a local dairy that uses low heat pasteurization, which is the closest you can get to raw in our area. My high school sweetheart lived on a dairy farm and there is nothing like the real thing, baby!0

I love Raw milk! But I don't drink it straight. I use the whey to make fermented beverages...hindu lemonade and beet kvass. I feel amazing!0
-
It's illegal here for human consumption. People will label it for pets then buy it for themselves anyway... I think I'd only drink raw milk if I lived on/by a dairy farm.0

I buy mine from the back of a van in a parking lot every week.
It's so deliciously devious the way I buy my milk.0 -

There is a funny chapter in "Stuff White People Like" about buying raw milk as if you were buying crack. The author goes on to say that the only way you can tell the difference between a drug deal and a raw milk deal is the raw milk purchaser will also be wearing New Balance running shoes. OMG, this book is so bad but so funny sometimes!0
