I know there are ways to get it without having your own cow, but educate me on how that might play out. Growing up, I've had milk straight from our cows before. Mostly just for fun...it's less boring milking a cow when you take breaks and squirt it in your or your dog's mouth. heheh Oh the joys of growing up on a farm. Ariah, do you have a cow?

I'm definitely not decided yet. I'm a strictly skim milk drinker right now so the idea of a switch like this would be really weird. But I'm considering it. Thanks for your thoughts everyone!

His parents found out that if they get milk straight from the cow, he's OK. Turns out, he's not allergic to milk...just to the junk they put in it! I have not made the switch, so I can't come from that direction, but going raw milk or goat's milk both seem like good options.

I'm way into food right now. Mostly cooking it. I'm not much into the raw milk thing, though my wife is interested and we're trying it. I don't mind pasteurization. Remember in the 1800's when thousands of people died from bacteria through milk. Then Louis decided to heat it up. People started surviving drinking milk. I like that. I also have a cholesterol problem and drinking the raw stuff will probably kill me. Not interested. Though we spend the extra for organic milk, even though many people have different issues with that. Old Home is my favorite. It tastes so much better than Organic Valley and is Minnesota made...

I vote for it if you can find a source. I've also heard really good things about making your own almond milk.

We are part of the skim milk folks now. My mother, not a follower of God has embraced the 7th Day diet and gone almost vegan (it has greatly improved her health, lowered her blood pressure, helped her eyesight, lowered her weight). I have a problem saying meat or animal products are "Bad" since Peter's vision and the whole Jewish culture of eating ox, lamb and sheep goes back quite a ways. But I am not real big on meat either as it does seem to slow me down to digest much of it. I'm not sure it is a big thing to God if we eat meat or drink milk as long as we don't eat meat cooked in milk? I never quite had that one figured out...don't worry, I don't do it.

My grandparents used to farm and I can still remember bringing grandma milk from the bulk tank and then watching her boil it so it would last longer in the fridge. Other possible options are looking at local farms that might bottle milk (not sure about chemicals if they use any, etc.) but down here in Chatfield we have Big Red Barn that sells directly to the community but also supplies the grocery store with milk. They use heavy glass containers and you pay a $3 deposit that gets refunded when you return the glass bottle. Environmentally responsible for sure. My wife and I got into this when we were in Durham, North Carolina and they had a farm out by Chapel Hill that did the same thing. I have to believe that some community just beyond the burbs has something like it. Just thoughts.
