yeah my mates missus is like that and ine of those believers.......People believe it has magical powers.
It's unfortunate that we have 2 generations of people who have no idea what milk really tastes like. Think grass fed beef T-bone vs maccas burger.
Besides taste, there are pros and cons.
Cons are when the milk is not handled properly or, more likely, milk is taken from a sick cow and put in the vat with all the clean milk. If the farmer is not observant and careful, or just doesn't give a fuck, then contamination occurs. That's why you would normally only be able to buy pasturised milk. Then the farmers and do whatever they want, put in milk from every cow, sick or not, piss in the tank, spit in it (I have worked on a dairy farm and went to school with dozens of farmer's kids. Pissing in the tank is mild compared to what some did.), let cow shit contaminate the milk, etc. Yep. Welcome to the world of processed food. (If you or your girlfriend have never "swallowed", well lets just say you probably have if you drink commercially processed milk.)
The pros is when you have a farmer serious about the health and wellbeing of his cows and produces a quality clean product. The scent and taste of "real" milk is amazing, especially when you compare it to the watered down, tasteless low fat crap that passes for milk in the local supermarket.
Since it has not had the guts boiled out of it, enzymes that enable you to digest the milk are preserved. Also, not being homogenised, the fat molecules are intact, being broken down and digested naturally in your stomach and not passing directly into your blood stream after being broken into tiny pieces by the homog process.

So, shit hits the fan when one kid tragically dies. What about the other 120? As usual the media loves to kick shit up into a storm. I don't recall them asking the important question, "why was the batch not tested?".

no, just no.
eat plant based "milks"
Let's go through what you just posted.
Taste. Bla bla. Taste is personal preference.
Milk tastes different depending on what cows are fed.The grass fed movement makes me laugh. Feed cows a high protein lush pasture and the milk can taste like absolute shit. Gives it a fishy taste from the excess protein.
The funny thing is the best tasting milk is usually from cows fed grain and hay. Gives the milk a higher fat content and a creamy taste.
Milk not being handled properly from sick cows. Lol. How many sick cows have you spotted in your life. zero no doubt. A cow doesn't have to be sick to shed disease. Cows can be sub clinical for a disease meaning they look perfectly healthy and still spread disease.
Pissing and spitting in the milk vat. Never heard of that in my life but you know a person who knows a person who once was a dairy farmer so are the gospel of information on the topic. Most milk vats you couldn't spit into it if you wanted to.
Again bullshit. A farmer serious about the health of the cows. For starters all farmers are serious about the health of cows because sick cows don't produce milk and the farmer goes broke. As I said its also possible to have sub clinical cows where they don't show disease but still spread it. If you think that doesn't happen on well cared for farms wrong again. It happens on every farm. All it can take is a bird to shit on grass that the cow eats for a cow to potentially get salmonella.
If you don't like low fat milk from the supermarket don't buy the low fat stuff.
Again you are wrong, pasteurized milk doesnt have the guts boiled out of it. It's not even boiled. Lol. Milk is only heated to 70c for 15 seconds. Yeah really had the guts boiled out of it.
Woody you have really farked up the facts badly in that post.
Bottom line is pasteurization prevents the transfer of disease and the health benefits of raw milk is all in the land of fairies.
