Wouldn’t this be nice if this was still the price of milk? I imagine when it was this price, it was as pure as what is in the jar sitting next to it. If you’re not a raw milk drinker, you may be wondering what is in raw milk. And my answer is nothing. It is a nourishing, whole food product, just like the product that comes out of humans and other mammals. Nothing is taken out of it and nothing is added. And the taste is out of this world.
So, why do I drink raw milk over commercial milk?
In short, this is why:
Once I fully learned how we produce milk in this day and age, I couldn’t stomach the idea of feeding it to my children. I’m not going to go on and on about it, but plain and simple, once learned, I couldn’t unlearn it.
I learned more about the history of the pasteurization process, why we began to use it and why this issue is the tipping point for the food rights (or beginning to be lack there of) in this country by reading:
Book - The Raw Milk Revolution, by David E. Gumpert
And I found myself a local farmer that I can purchase raw milk directly from in accordance with Nebraska state laws, which allows for sale directly from farms.
