Raw milk anybody?

[buttercup]

Nope. The dairy industry is even more cruel than the meat industry. And its a myth that dairy is healthy or necessary, funded by the very people who profit from it. It’s an archaic thing, and that’s why dairy is dying… If the government didn’t subsidize it and the free market was allowed to do its thing, it would be dying faster.

Humans need cow milk for nutrition about as much as they need lion and hippopotamus milk. I prefer almond milk.

THANK YOU! Exactly.

 

[JoeMoma]

I love ice cream. Thank God for cows..

Raw milk is milk that comes from grass-fed cows

Actually, you can get raw milk from grain fed cows as well.

The 'raw' only refers to milk free of post-milking processing.

 

[EvMetro]

Not exactly. The legality of selling/buying raw milk depends on state or county laws. Some states it is illegal, others it is legal, but is highly regulated..

Here in CA, I just put it in my shopping cart at Sprouts. Raw Farms is the brand. It costs a bit more, but I like it. Same with the raw milk kefir. I think it can be marketed elsewhere, but they have to call it pet food...

Are you willing to let all those baby almonds go without nutrition just so you can have your morning latte?

Same problem though, of not knowing what chemicals were sprayed on the grain, right?

Well, I always spray my grains with THC. Sure, it costs a little more, but my morning cereal tastes AWESOME!

Sounds pretty wasteful. Give a milk cow 4 gallons or so of water you can get a gallon of milk. It takes 1.1 gallons of water to grow one lousy almond. It take 1,900 gallons of water to grow 1 Lb. of almonds. Now how many gallons of almond milk to do you get out of that? 10% of all water in California is used to grow your almonds. Sure, they can't water their lawns, but you can get your fake almond milk.

Yeah, I saw a Bill Maher segment about it. The almond milk is way better for me though, and I don't drink much of it anyway. Are you really shaming me for indulging in some almond milk from time to time? Lol In how many ways do you contribute to the overindulgence of humanity? Bite me.

 

[White 6]

Raw milk is awesome, but is heavily regulated at best, and illegal at worst. All depends on your state and/or locale if you can even get it. Then of course is the price.

Best option, but few can have it, is to raise your own cows

I used to get a lot of whole raw milk as a kid on the farm. Sometimes very very good, especially real cold, but it depends on the grass they are eating in the pasture. Sometimes you have to sample to make sure you don't ruin a whole milk can before mixing. Kind of like honey, if the bees get into bitter weed.

In as many ways as I possibly can...

Same with any type animal or animal by products.......it depends on the quality of the feed going in as to what you'll get out

Nah. Enjoy, man. I don't live in California. We got so much water here, we keep making more protected wetlands where farmers used to plow for a hundred years, along with raising and replacing our bridges. Remember, turn around don't drown. Welcome to Tennessee.

Yes but.......grains are not a normal diet for cows. The food industry has been force feeding them grains and other 'stuff', because it 'sweetens' the meat and milk of the cow.

Cows are not normal animals. Do you see dairy cows surviving in the wild? What is normal for a cow is to live in a big barn with a bunch of other cows and getting milked twice a day.

 

[Moonglow]

Raw milk is milk that comes from grass-fed cows, is unpasteurized and unhomogenized. Raw milk costs a bit more, but it is healthier. Anybody else drink raw milk?

Not since I was a kid have I drank raw milk and the only reason I'd want any now is to make cheese or butter...
