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.

Milk can be frozen successfully.

My take is, it's more about how it's handled. These days, refrigeration is much more widespread, so less chance of contamination. I personally would be hesitant to drink raw milk unless it was organic, but that's just me. Even if not certified, people who raise their own cows organically are much more careful with both the health of the animals, and the production/storage/handling of the product.
