Milk it does!
But why the government just doesn’t give consumer the choice and farmers the option to sell both pasturized and non-pasturized says it all, doesn’t it?
Louis Pasteur is up to about 150 rpm right about now...
Unpasteurized milk contains benign bacteria. For that and other reasons, it is better for your health than pasteurized milk.
BUT. That assumes that you live in the country and have access to a dairy farmer you can TRUST. Otherwise you can very easily get a bacterial infection that is not benign.
It’s impossible to trust factory farms or big milk distributors. There are too many ways for infection to sneak in, and in most cases the supply chain is too long for the milk to be really fresh by the time it reaches the supermarket.
So, unfortunately, the answer is that you can and should drink fresh milk if you have a neighboring farmer or friend whom you can trust.
BELLOWS FALLS — I’ve been there and can’t remember why. Is it a stop on a scenic train ride?
Yes it is (or was). Also the birthplace of catcher Carlton Fisk.
Yes. Amtrak passes through there, too.
The bakery / cafe / coffee house I used to stop by on my way to work in Lyndonville, Vermont sold raw milk from a local farm - they had it labeled as “not for human consumption”, which I think is some sort of legal disclaimer to allow them to get away with selling unpasturized dairy.
I never bought any...kinda wish I had, just to try it. I wonder if they still sell it.
LMFAO!!!

The human gut contains thousands of bacteria, for most of which their beneficial effect is not well understodd. Lots of digestive issues can be helped with yogurt, buttermilk, maybe unpasteurized milk.
Had some raw milk once, a guy who had a small farm was delivering it in old glass bottles packed on ice in the back of a utility truck...it was good, creamier flavor to it...did not become ill from it.
In order to buy it now, you gotta go to a feed store, raw milk is in the “pet food” section, thats the only way that its allowed to be sold.
Bellows Falls is the setting for a lot of Archer Mayor mysteries.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had raw milk, but I have had plenty of unpasteurized juice and it definitely does taste better. The pasteurization process just seems to change the composition of the sugars for the worse.
Maybe that’s what the label at the shop I mentioned said - for animal use only?
It was only two or three years ago.
I’m hoping to make it back home for a visit this summer, and I want to go to that place for baked goods - might have to grab a bottle of milk while I’m at it, if they still have it!
I grew up drinking raw milk from our own cow, Suzie. She gave so much milk we had to drink it to keep it from spoiling, in fact I never drank water. Mother made cottage cheese, whipped cream and butter from it. It was fantastic. I still have a glass of milk every night before I can go to sleep.
When we were in Innsbruck a couple of years ago, we went to a small mountain town called Egls. They had a milk bar, where the farmer basically would give you a good size portion for a Euro. MMM, fresh from the cow.
Insanity!
Thanks for the ping!
As usual, God did it right, men blow it every time.
You need to study Pasteur a bit more closely.
