My wife has been buying it for about a year here in East Texas. Yogurt, cream, etc. as well.
Considering how virtually everything the government deems is good or bad for us isn't, I'd say they have a valid point.
Since when did the government actually regulate or restrict something based on it actually being good or bad for us instead of them claiming it's for our own good?
I don't trust the government at all and them telling me something is bad, leads me to very seriously consider there is more to it that's good than I realized.
Yes, A2 and raw milk are two issues equally important. A2 and raw milk from cows you know are healthy is the best. With a small herd you can test your milk daily if you want with test strips for bacteria. If your environment is clean and you have good milk practices there is no problem or need for pasteurization. We had dairy goats for 25 years and drank only raw milk. Goats milk is all A2/A2.The gene mutation for producing A1 proteins in cows milk started in Europe and was imported here and expanded due to large dairy operations breeding. There are dairy herds here where their cows are tested and they have only A2/A2 herds. Their milk is processed at a few different processing plants in the US and sold under the A2 brand. With no goats now this is what we buy. It is pasteurized. It also is extremely delicious.
I think I heard that they have found a way to infect it with a bird flu.
And yes metmom you are right about homogenization.
“...believe the CDC and FDA if you’d like.”
I sure DON’T believe any of them. I’m just very cautious due to my health problems.
Then I’d suggest skipping all processed dairy as it’s very inflammatory
“the only thing I use milk for is for cereal”
Don’t forget Oreos.
Own the cow, milk it yourself in proper sterile procedure. Testing milk for Tuberculosis, Brucellosis and other essential safety tests. Especially if the barn/field has deer or wild pig interaction/exposure.
All this— then yeah. There are non-homogenized flash Pasteurized so called “Cream Top” milk producers that sell largely in health food stores or coops. You have to shake the jug up everytime before you pour and it is astonishingly creamier than homogenized wally world calcium water emulsion.
Sometimes— and this is probably unsafe— can find raw milk for sale for use with Calves. All unpasteurized of course.
You’re probably right, as I hardly ever drink milk anymore.
The “raw milk for use with calves” is called colostrum and your accusation of “probably unsafe” is baseless.
All of you shilling for pasteurized milk and against raw milk should prove the safety of your product. Processed dairy has caused a lot of disease in this country. The fact that it’s sterile and not causing infections doesn’t mean it’s safe. It’s very pro-inflammatory and destructive to the human gut long other things.
If you want to have an informed opinion I’d suggest reading “the untold story of milk”. Otherwise you’re just doing the bidding for Big Goverment which pepper on this forum claim to be against
No FRiend— your knees are jerking. The “only for calves” milk I posted about was whole raw milk. Not colostrum. Shilling for pasteurized milk is nothing would support. As mentioned “Cream Top” whole milk providers are raised differently milking cows and fed very different feed. They also, in order to large market go through flash pasteurization so they can sell and not be shut down (the 3000 acre facility is full organic certified and zero pesticides).
Not shilling. Defining how one can independently get or secure raw milk. It is the best... for centuries in the rural world.
Also, am no species of pepper but full human. Everyone knows what industry is about, including the manufactured covid “pandemic”. About which was repeatedly posting the true science of coronavirus and prevention without vaccines.
Aim before you fire, and don’t make a@@-umptions. K?
Goat milk is the best.....
Processed anything is awful. Which is not the same as cooking healthy meals with it.
Besides, processed milk is not always sterile or safe. It's PRESUMED to be so, but I've heard plenty of stories about containers of *fresh* store milk that tests higher for bacteria than raw milk. It's simply a matter of which bacteria.
In certain states raw milk is labeled “not for human consumption” or “pets only”. If that is what you’re referring to when you say for use of calves then you could’ve been more clear. And you accused such practices as being “probably unsafe”.
I’m not making any assumptions or knee jerking. Your comments come across as very anti-raw milk or at least very skeptical of it. Which means you’re essentially siding with the government hacks. It’s their baseless allegations and claims against raw milk & their withholding of facts from the public that has enable their power.
Good point
We've been buying it at the grocery store for about two years.
ping to this comment...
Hey! That's a time-honored FR tradition!
And the opinions they spout are nearly totally uninformed.
Hey! That's a time-honored FR tradition!
You can add things like this... "well my mom weened me on lead-based paint chips and DDT and I am perfectly fine!"
I love it here.
