Why not to pasturize- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tzx2dY6mW5A

In 1987 the FDA banned interstate shipping of raw milk and today it's retail sale is only legal in dozen or so states. There's a very devoted group who believe that pasteurized milk is "dead milk" and are fighting to make it easier to buy. Raw milk has such a following that people form secret clubs or buy portions of a cow in order to circumvent state laws regulating its sale.

In March of 2010, Idaho made things just a bit easier for producers of raw milk. A small-herd exemption was passed that allowed farmers with 7 or fewer goats or sheep and 3 or fewer cows to produce raw milk or raw milk products for human consumption.

You must live in the country with those prices.

Coke here is $2 or even a bit less. Milk $2 for two litres.

The one that really gets me if paying $2 AND Up for bottled water, not spring water, bottled water.
Spring water is more.

Yet in melbourne we have some of the best water in the world, as does a most of australia.

So i cant see why kids buy bottled water when they can fill a coke bottle from a tap
And freeze that, or out in the fridge.

They then say they ave no money !!!

I guess, but seriously - are we not all told to eat healthy?

So you would think you would pay less for healthy food than junk food, in the case of milk it is actually one of the few 'food groups'  where the reverse is true.

No aps, I don't live in the country, and we do have the home brand milk for $2.00 but it is awful, I buy the full cream Pauls, and yes coke can be as low as $1.89 here at times for 2 litres, I was being generous on that score.

See above regarding the healthy food issue, just makes little sence to me, but I guess it is my taste reagrding the $2 milk, so it is available to others on a budget.

Long as we're doing price comparisons, I bought 3 2litter bottles of Pepsi, at CVS, the first was 75 cents with the in store cupon, and the other two were regular price at 99 cents. Whole milk at Audi Foods is $2.89 a gallon, gas at a station was $2.49 a gallon.

And yes, here to eat really healthy, its far more expensive than just eating the cheapest junk food on the shelf. Here, very few places even sell whole chocolate milk, only the 2 percent or diet

I like walgreens. In LV, instead of buying junk food to eat at lunchtime, i stop at the wlgreens on the corner and buy som fruit, a can of coke and. Couple of the sandwiches or pita bread rolls. They all have salad n them, plus a choice of meat. Not to expensive either
Pand saves having to stand in the queue at the convention centre.

The problem is that to produce milk costs more than adding some sugar, colouring and flavouring into water.  Then milk is perishable, soft drinks are not.  Farmers are already going broke.

I fondly remember the warm milk served straight from the bucket from our house jersey.  And of course most children were squirted when they asked where it came from.

And to add some humour to the "Revolution"

A very well-to-do woman (Cleo?) ordered a tanker of milk with which to fill her fancy cast iron bath. 

For the milkman to alot the required quality of silky, cleansing fluid, he asked:

"Pasteurize?"

She replied: "No, only up to my shoulders"

She said she'd like to bathe in milk, he said, "All right, sweetheart,"

And when he'd finished work one night he loaded up his cart.

He said, "D'you want it pasteurised? 'Cause pasteurised is best,"

She says, "Ernie, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest."

That tickled old Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)

And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

Given the choice of raw milk, fresh and carefully harvested, or diet Coke with the artificial sweetner "aspertiane" it's no contest. to me anyway, aspertiane causes brain cancer and countless people drink it everyday, some of the bactera that gets killed durring pasturazion, is benificial.

Someone mentioned bugs, I doubt any would be found in fresh properly harvested raw milk, but heres a documentary that says eating bugs gives you 7 times the protene than ground beef.

I think it was in one of my "documentary discussions"

I agree that it requiers more care (raw milk) and it probibly should be avoided for children (other thatn that wit comes from their own mother) but for consenting adults, I say make it legal to sell and use. We need choices in life. thats a good thing.

Sure. And while we are at it, lets allow the spread of tuberculosis back into society shall we?

Pasteurization does not kill beneficial bacteria. Lots of websites say that it does but not one of those can actually list what "good" bacteria is being killed that our body needs.

You may "need" choices in your life, but I also should have the choice of not being exposed to morons that do something as dumb as drink store bought unpasteurized milk and unwittingly pass on diseases to me and my family every time they cough on a train or bus.

[softail-joanie]

Yes, you have the clear chouce not to take a train or bus, wear a mask, or live in a bubble and have everything brought to you.

aspertiane causes brain cancer and countless people drink it everyday,

No doubt you've got an Alex Jones video that provides the facts that support your thesis...........
