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.

Is it though?

Yes. Pigs root in their shit and can catch parasites that can infect the human body. Even if you keep the pig clean, like a pet, they can have things in them that are deadly to human beings. Same reason you don't eat raw chicken. Common bacteria and parasites can harm human beings.

Maybe you just aren't getting good meat?

Healthy and clean pigs are filthy animals. Even the Bible acknowledges this. They are more filthy than dogs. This isn't a statement about how pigs are kept and raised. It's a comment on how they behave, what they do. They will eat their own shit. They body chemistry is similar enough to our that the things that infect them can infect us. This isn't me just talking about this is well known for centuries.

But hey, you want to risk your life swallowing down raw pork, you go for it. But for 4000 years, people have understood that you gotta thoroughly cook pork if you're gonna eat it.
