When I was in middle/high school my family kept milk goats, because we were all (except my mom) allergic to cow's milk. So I know for a fact, A FACT, that unpasteurized milk goes bad SO FUCKING FAST. Yes, it tastes great! Drink it right out of the goat, it's incredible! But if you want to hold on to it more than a day, you won't, unless you pasteurize it. Fight me, raw-milk-heads.

This whole thing is so weird. Surely it was just yesterday that I was a monster for feeding my child whole cow's milk instead of oat milk.

Reminds me how cyclical our nutrition trends really are… fats, carbs, dairy, superfoods

I've drunk raw milk as a younger lass. I was immediately put off by it because it was too warm.

This story goes in so many directions I was not expecting.

This is unrelated, but have you seen the book Remodelista in Maine? Julie D. O’Rourke is featured in it, along with her sister, who is some sort of table scape artist, and I need your thoughts. (This book is beautiful and WILD and also infuriating at times—as a fellow New Englander I think you will understand when you read it.)

Pleasure dairies!!!!!!??!?!?!! What an article!

I have a disgusting raw milk story from about 10 years ago. Funny, though, for what one will put up with to follow a health trend. It was definitely the very last time I drank raw milk.
