Comments on Got REAL Milk? Organic milk?

The only ones who should be drinking cow's milk are baby cows. In order for cows to produce milk they must be pregnant. After giving birth their newborns are taken away. Males live a short life of hell in veal crates. Females are kept to become milk cows. The mother cows and their newborns go through days and days of much stress and anguish with lots of bellowing and crying out for each other due to being separated. Can you imagine if someone took away your newborn baby? This is a cruel and inhumane practice. Plant milks are available and taste just as good or better than cow milk. Not to mention the increased risks for cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer''s disease from dairy products. Just say no.

I get raw milk when I can and always prefer cheese made with raw milk. I would like to have my own place with goats and free-range chickens!

I am in Maryland and cannot easily get raw milk for myself. I do use Answers raw goat and the cow kiefer for my animals. They love it.

My raw fed Cocker has enjoyed raw goat milk (I make kefir with it) for the last 4 months. She just loves it! Yesterday I finally got the nerve up to buy some Organic Pastures whole raw milk for ME! Oh wow! It’s delicious. I don’t know why I was so scared to try real milk!
Thank God it’s legal in California to buy raw milk. So much of the organic pasteurized milk here is ultra pasteurized. ???? I have a family member I make kefir for who insists on pasteurized milk. Do you have any idea if Sprouts organic milk is from an ok source or if it’s from one of those huge dairies you mentioned.

Once I stopped nursing my Twin Boys, my husband insisted on Raw Milk as the only option for continuum. I am soooo greatful for his persistence. We love the creamy, richness, and sweet taste and then, there is the endless list of benefits that make raw milk so incredibly dangerous to Wall Street and its brainwashed public.
My Chiropractor cautioned me about dairy products increasing the mucus production, hence making my son's allergies worse, but gut health is in my eyes more important and I believe his immune system has gotten better because of the raw milk. Often times, milk is the only food he consumes in the course of his day. And I can live with that.
We joined one of many co-ops in Austin. Our milk comes from Bob Stryk's Dairy in Schulenburg, TX.
We went to visit the farm and the people, the Jerseys, the hens, and all other critters there are happy, super friendly and welcoming. It really is in the milk!

We had a lovely family cow for a year and a half. Raw milk is technically not completely illegal in NYStupid, but many folks get into trouble over it.
Sadly Thistle tested positive for Johnnes. I miss her and her milk.

Unfortunately raw milk is illegal in Canada. We have one farmer in Ontario who keeps coming up with creative ideas to get around the rules (like having people buy shares in the cows so the milk wasn't actually being sold to them) but he keeps getting shut down and fined.

Raw milk is the only way to go! For years when I couldn't get it when I lived in California, I stopped drinking milk. I now live northeast of Dallas in St. Paul, Texas. About 8 miles away in Plano is a dairy farm, Lucky Layla. I buy my raw, unpasteurized, un-homogenized milk from them. It comes from both Guersey and Jersey cows and is very creamy, rich and tastes so good. They also have a creamery so they produce and sell Gee and raw liquid yogurt (eggs too but I buy them from a chicken farm). I travel the dirt road to get to their little store and behind me, I can see their cows grazing in the sunshine. Everything is clean and I know that I am getting a good product.
When I feed raw milk to my mini Dachshund, she tends to get diarrhea so I go easy with it. But I do feed her Answers raw goat's milk. I mix the goat's milk with a little coconut flour and chia seeds then free freeze them into bite-sized pops which she loves.
I am thankful to these farmers who work so hard to bring us raw milk!

I switched to Answers Pet Food last fall after the company promptly answered my question—and included photos!—about the Global Animal Partnership (GAP) step/rating of their source meat. I recently spoke with them again, this time to ask about high-pressure processing (HPP), which they confirmed is not a practice they condone or use.
As anticipated, Answers is more expensive than the Primal Raw I had originally bought when I transitioned my cats from kibble, however, I value the welfare of all animals (my own as well as the ones whose lives nourish others) and I'm grateful that I can prioritize my budget to honor this commitment. I also appreciate the transparency and integrity conveyed by Answers, and that my locally-owned pet food store is able to order it from their distributor. More demand for humanely sourced, species appropriate nutrition would likely yield more options and less suffering for Life in all its forms!

I had a daughter who did not tolerate formula at all. The doctors thought the answer was to put her on soy formula. I then met a chiropractor who said try raw milk and what a difference. Doctors are not god but most people believe they are. I just keep trying to tell people that doctors are people and don't know everything.
Now that my daughter is almost 10, we moved to a state that you cannot get raw milk in so we just drink water.

I do not consume cows milk myself but I love Answers! I sell it in my store and feed it to my pets. Thank you for this eye opening article. I dream that Humane farming will become the norm in my lifetime.

I just moved to Kerrville from Houston after losing my home to the water release from the reservoirs. I'm so disappointed. Only supermarket HEB. I used to buy Mill King milk and pasture raised poultry at Whole Foods. Whole Foods is not the best but I wish it was here. HEB is overcrowded, carts are bumper to bumper on narrow aisles . Sick people cough next to you, no chance to escape them. Can a single family name control what we must east? How can that monopoly be broken? I intend to start my container organic veggie growing. I was talking to the people at the chinese restaurant (China Town) and they told me they go to Austin to buy supplies. I am 76 yrs young, 108 lbs, no medications, plenty energy, make Kefir and bone broth. Can anybody help with ideas and/or action. I cannot afford to move. I'm sure their "organic milk" must come from Horizon.

Yes! Have been using raw milk for many years. I get it from an Amish farmer in PA, where it's actually legal to sell raw milk. My kids, now grown and gone, all drank it. I used to buy 8-10 gallons every 2 weeks. I found that raw milk actually stayed fresh for 2 full weeks.
We don't drink nearly so much any longer, and I never drink milk myself, never have. But I will still buy some for my kids who are no longer living at home, they love it. Sadly, I can't get my son to give the raw milk to his daughters-brainwashed by the pediatrician that it isn't safe for young children.
I haven't fed it regularly to my dogs and cats, but they all eat a raw diet, so are getting good nutrition from their diet. And, the cats aren't much impressed by the milk-but you know, cats...
I also get pasture raised eggs, raw, grass-fed butter, yogurt. All outstanding quality foods.
The farm is about 40 miles from my home, but I believe it is worth the trip-after all, an hour's drive through the pretty countryside-in all seasons-is more than a fair trade-off for fresh, humanely raised foods.

Yes! I get "real" milk, fresh milk, untouched and unprocessed in any way, from pastured Jersey cows, ( as do my three dogs,four indoor cats and numerous feral cats). They are milked by super dedicated, loving, and knowledgeable people named the Robinsons. They bottle their own milk as well right there in the little dairy barn. They are also licensed and inspected by the State of Missouri and the only one in the state that is. In this area, Missouri really shines and I am extremely fortunate to be only 26 miles one way from the dairy farm. And milking is something they have chosen to do in addition to full time jobs,(most in the health field). They all know the value of truly raw, healthy milk from healthy cows. Now if I could just get them to make butter and cottage cheese so I don't have to!
