We buy two gallons a week and have for years. Like 15 years.

I get 2 gallons ever other week....taste much better than regular or the filtered mootopia (HEB) / fairlife.

I still get a little stomach distress and gas from the regular/filtered...but nothing from the raw. I'm mildly lactose intolerant so it's nice to not bloat.

Texas is pretty easy going but you do need a license and can't sell in grocery stores... hopefully RFK helps it get back in some stores

It is an established fact that a lot of human tuberculosis was transmitted to humans by milk from infected cows. TB has been a scourge in the human race ever since milk was taken from cows and ingested raw.

Not saying that was the only source and I'm sure that the prevalence of TB in cows is way down now that Mrs. O'Leary isn't keeping cows in dank barns inside the city anymore.

Raw milk is pretty good once your strain the blood and pus out of it

The CDC reports that raw milk is responsible for a disproportionate number of dairy-related foodborne illnesses. In the U.S., raw milk is estimated to be 150 times more likely to cause foodborne illnesses than pasteurized milk.



That's a no for me dawg.

Hell I grew up with raw milk since I had family that worked on dairy farms, I just remember it being very cold and good with cereal.

Not sure where you watched a dirty teat being milked, but it's just like going to a restaurant. Some people are clean and some are dirty. Go to farms where you know they are following safe practices. Teats should be washed and disinfected before milking.


I've been in old style stanchion barns with no pipe line, they carried it to the bulk tank in pails, and modern parlors. Yes, they clean and disinfect. I'm still not interested.

Wouldn’t touch it without pasteurizing it myself at least.

I get it from the local farmer every once in awhile living outside the US. It taste great. Conversely, I also sometimes buy the UHT (ultra past. sterile carton) warm milk on the store shelf and it tastes pretty mediocre. I make cappucino with the raw so it’s heated a little anyway. Not giving to kids as a precaution, but I don’t really worry personally.

I mean is it?


If I have TB and just cough on you, you can get it. You wouldn't have to drink milk to get bovine tb.

Dairy farmer basically has a milk fountain like you’d refill a coke at a fast food place cooled and everything. Insert coins into machine and put bottle underneath tap. Also has his eggs and potatoes with a coin box trust system nailed to the wall. I like it, it feels wholesome and neighborly anyway. It’s not even a hippy place, just a normal farmer doing his thing.

It’s the latest fad of suburban white women. This is no different than low fat diets of the 80s and 90s (other than the “back to nature” angle that is in right now). A decade or two from now people will laugh about the silly raw milk fad while falling in for whatever the current fad diet is. Of course raw milk has actual risks, but for most healthy people it’s not a big deal.

People want to blame diet for being unhappy, when sociological issues are to blame. Any port in a storm, I suppose.

A dairy farmer let me hunt his property for elk a few years back. We became friends and the family made me breakfast the last day there.
He served me milk direct from his cow. That shite was delish. It tasted like milk with fruit loops flavor.
I drank three glasses.

Didn't make the 5 hour drive home before I had cup my butt and sprint into the woods with a roll of tp.
It was worth it though!

you are 35,000 times less likely to become ill from raw milk than from other foods.
What the hell kind of 'fact' is this? "Other foods." That covers any material that humans consume for sustenance, any time, anywhere, for any reason. Which other foods? Apples? Corn Flakes? Puffer fish? Psilocybin mushrooms?

The ridiculous framing causes me to suspect that they've either made that number up, compared it to the most dangerous food they were able to find on earth, or worst, and most likely, compared the raw numbers of food poisoning cases involving unpasteurized milk with the raw numbers of far more commonly consumed items like undercooked chicken or tainted produce.

If you actually know the source, go drink it. If you have no clue about the risk of not knowing the source, and are doing it because social media says it's the new fad, also do it.
