Unpasteurized Milk

[about_average]

don't you think the differences in rearing dairy herds today compared with, say, when lots of homesteaders might have had a milker or had access to milk from a smallholding account for the reason the legislation was introduced?

in a well-run place where the feed is top quality and all the animals vetted regularly, the likelihood of unsafe milk is hugely reduced but never eliminated. what about the milk coming from places that cut corners? i think i'll stick with what i have to trust.

I doubt the feed was always top quality, and I can assure you the animals weren't vetted regularly.

The processing part of the food chain is as much, if not more, risk as the farm.
Of course, factory farming hasn't helped to ensure a safe food supply.

So I was reading this article about people who want to be able to buy milk in it's still-poisonous, e-coli ridden, salmalicious state, and the FDA's like, "No, you can't just buy a big gallon jug of poison". And I'm sitting here, reading this, smoking a cigarette after I finished making cookies and eating all the raw cookie dough left in the bowl, and it doesn't sit right with me. The people advocating this say that the non-pasteurized milk taste better, and they are, presumably, adults. So I don't get why they aren't allowed to legally poison themselves. I guess they're afraid that because it's milk, kids will get in it, in the same way that a kid can potentially get a white Russian, but, IDK. Seems weird to me.

i remember when i was young visiting relatives who owned a farm and being given milk straight from the cow to drink and it never did me any harm ,i survived .

My family always consumed fresh "cows" milk until they left home and never harmed any of us... Except none of the six of us ever had any broken bones.

All the more impressive when you consider that you played football for the Lufkin Panthers, the last football team in America that used leather helmets!

Raw cookie dough
I buy break apart cookies and just eat them raw.

A blonde once asked me to draw her a milk bath.

"Do you prefer pasteurize?" I asked.

"No," she replied. "Up to my boobies is fine."

I did NOT play Football in school because it was "Too Dangerous" ( Read parents were to cheap)

We did play football every Saturday evening at a certain grade school.

Tackle, No rules, No pads If the girls were tough enough have at it.

Bruises were common, And some of the Panther Ex's Would crank up a short game during PE. We stayed skinned up a lot.

For fun we would fight, various kinds ( I never was as good at Boxing as my 17 month younger brother, although if you fucked up I'd nail you.)

Climb trees and somebody would cut it down...Hell of a ride.

Rock and dirt clog fights were common...I always was good at speed and distance... Thought I had killed one of my cousins once and crippled another on.

Country boys are tough or die young.
