I have never drank any, but I get suspicious of the motives of our “great and beneficent fathers” in Washington when they send in armed swat teams to farms selling it locally. I have heard of much more disease coming from hamburger (USDA inspected and approved) than raw milk.
Why won't the government just inspect raw milk like many other foods and then it could be safe and legal? Too much common sense? Too much freedom?
My “bias” against raw milk is based on a whole lotta scientific evidence. I’m with you, though, on drinking it if you want and not drinking it if you don’t. But don’t try and tell me that the many pathogens present in raw milk can be controlled by ensuring the cows look healthy and that they have clean handling. That doesn’t work in the real world.
This post and your tag-line are quite ironic.
Just remember, EVERYTHING the government does, is at the point of a gun....................either real or implied...........
How so?
With a Satanic Marxist in the White House, the parade of evil across this once free nation becomes endless.
We see where our $1.4 trillion dollar deficit comes from - there are tens of thousands of government operations just like this that are spending, not only our money but also our children’s and grandchildren’s money, so that some thug behind a desk can feel powerful, and some poor farmer can be jailed or forced out of business for selling milk to customers who want milk. Big government is pathetic, and the far left is responsible for more than its share of the disgusting growth of government.
In my mother's family there were 7 kids that drank fresh milk. All lived to be in their 80's and 90's
In my dad's family there were 8 kids. 7 of them lived into their 80's and 90's.
14 out of 15 not to bad.
Now a "food fight" can have a body count.
Thank-God no one’s ever gotten sick from a restaurant salad bar or tainted meat from a USDA inspected facility...
yes, but it does show that having liquor was illegal at that time.
More people died in auto accidents last week, but you won't see anyone harping on that.
>That being said anyone drinking unpasteurized milk is a fool.
Interestingly, my great-grandfather was a milkman before and after the pasteurization of milk came to America; he noted that there was an increase in the sickness rates AND lactose-intolerance after the switch. Furthermore, I have a friend who is a missionary now, but before he went to the field he went to Mongolia where they did not pasteurize their milk (mostly horse) and he did not have any problem at all with it... despite being acutely lactose-intolerant.
I’m not a fan of raw milk myself, but if folks are, they should be able to get it.
I grew up on a farm, so I remember the richness of the fresh milk, the cream and full flavor.
Animals and humans have been benefiting from it for thousands of years. I guess they were lucky, the U. S. Government wasn’t around to protect them.
Hey, we share the same take on it. Great.
Thanks GramHo12.
Problem is, you have too many city slickers, and not enough seasoned people from the farmlands of America in our federal government. A lot of common sense comes to those who are early to bed and early to rise.
“Now a “food fight” can have a body count.”
“Drop the carrots and come out with your hands up” LOL!
I’m surprised that the FDA didn’t try to classify raw milk as a drug, due to the supposed health benefits.
Nanny State PING!
