I voted yes. I can't believe that many people voted no. I'm more wary of bagged greens!

I voted yes. That's absurd that that many people have voted no. Ridiculous!

After having raw milk, I can't bring myself to drink it pasteurized. Store bought milk tastes like watered down elmers glue--yuck!

I believe it, I don't think it's ridiculous - considering the ignorance that abounds concerning where food comes from and what pasteurizing/homogenizing MEANS. It makes me terribly sad. I'll vote YES, too!

I'm wondering who tacked on the phrase "raw milk"? Why not call it by the proper name "FRESH MILK"? There is no comparison to that stuff that you buy in the store and who knows how old it really is.

Oh yeah, I voted YES

Another "yes" vote. Most people have just been "programmed" to think that raw milk is dangerous. But I miust admit that I would be leery of raw milk if I did not know the dairy that it came from.

I voted yes. Raw milk is real milk. Raw milk contains everything needed to sustain life. When its pasturized all the good stuff is removed so they can make us think they are putting it back in a safer form. I think people were healthier before big business took over and started altering our food. Leave the milk the way nature intended.

Funny, today I fed a bottle to a couple of babies. They are on mom, but at night I keep them off to get milk and give them a bottle of storebought milk so I can have mom's milk. I accidently left the empty bottle in the barn and just brought it up. When I opened it, shooeee! Nasty! In the past I've fed raw milk from each kids dam to the kid and left the bottle down there then as well. Didn't smell bad at all.

Heres something interesting, when you leave pasturized milk in the fridge for too long it first sours then it rots. It gets really nasty.
But last summer, i let a gallon of fresh day old jersey milk sour on the counter and made buttermilk. I used all but about a quart and then put in a quart jar and used it for a while then forgot i had it.

I pulled it out about a month ago and opened the jar and smelled it and it was still buttermilk, not nasty smelling but a tart strong smell. So i made pancakes. They were some of the best pancakes i have had in a long time.
Well i still had a cup of buttermilk left but no fresh milk to add it to. So
I poured some "grocery store" milk into the starter and capped it off. It worked! the pasturized milk was a perfect medium for my starter. It grew the right bacteria in it for buttermilk.

I am still using that starter.

I too voted yes, my daughter does not complain of a sore stomache when drinking it unlike store bought milk.

I think that everyone should have the choice, the gov has no business telling the people what they can and can not eat or drink.

Just voted yes. I'm actually surprised by how many yes's there are. So many people I know wouldn't even think of drinking raw milk.
