So I know a guy who knows a guy that sells raw milk. I am curious what Poal's take on it is. I know people that drink it and use the cream off the top and say the only disadvantage is it doesn't last as long as pasteurized milk.

But at the same time mainstream take is you have a chance of getting sick from it. The obvious response to that is people drank raw milk for thousands of years before pasteurization but then again also people got sick and died younger back then too.

I don't really have much skin in the game as the only reason I have milk at all is to add it to my scrambled eggs. Just wondering if any Poalrs drink raw milk.

If you're planning on buying it, check the dairy. Modern dairies are very sanitary places when run right, they're made of stainless and tile and should look and smell spotless. The cows should not exhibit any outward signs of illness.

We drank raw milk for most of my childhood without issue, that's because we trusted the place that was selling it. Ask around, if others buy it without issue you're probably fine.

Most of neighbors get it from the same local guy. I'll ask next time I see them but it seems like a low key operation.

That's what the one we bought from was. They sold commercially, but if you knew someone, they said go in this building, use the tap on the stirrer tank, and leave $1 in the cigar box for every gallon.

There was never any sales or income or anything reported.
