When I was farming years ago we milked our own jersey cows and the first time I drank unpasteurised unhomogenized milk warm, virtually straight from the cow, I loved it and I still miss it!
I'm not denying pasteurisation has saved lives when milk is produced in huge quantities for commercial consumption but our cows were healthy and so were we.
I grew up on unhomogenized milk in bottles with the cream at the top and milk has never been the same since they started mixing the cream through the milk so I can't taste it.
I don't drink much milk now and never at home since I switched to soymilk at menopause, but if I had access to natural milk I'd probably drink it occasionally
Why do we drink milk?
