I don't remember exactly when I made the decision to go to drinking raw milk. I'm sure it was after reading an article about it and the colorful history of milk in general. Maybe it was that Mother Earth News article about factory farms. Maybe it was after reading about the general decline in the nutritional value of food in this country. It doesn't matter anymore. I made the switch to raw, unpasteurized milk. I prefer to call it fresh milk.
Fresh milk is alive with flavor. The feel of it in your mouth is different, wholesome, better. It's a sensation you recognize on an instinctual level. Your body knows how much better it is for you, even if your head doesn't. When I first started to drink it about a year ago, I actually craved it. A true craving. My body found something in this fresh milk it had been missing and needed. I don't know what it was, but the craving has been satisfied and replaced with simple joy in having this wonderful, living food available to me.
Double Amen! With real milk I have lost 10 lbs drinking milkshakes, eating popcorn drenched in real butter and eating lots of pancakes made with real buttermilk. The milk has also made every animal on this place healthier and cured my daughter's acne (the colostrum). I just visited a website talking about raw milk and autism. It truly is an amazing substance. God's cure-all is what I call it.
