What makes raw milk so appealing anyway? There are a crazy amount of diseases you can pick up from it, is it worth the risk? Theres a reason we invented pasteurization.

I think there's so much distrust of modern food processing methods in the US that the idea of something closer to the natural source may be perceived as healthier.

Man, if only we chose to fund the agency that oversees those processing plants to ensure they were safe! No, that might benefit the poor so we can't do that.

If only there was something we could do!
