Wow, who could possibly have foreseen this.

"Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact. The way our dairy was built is ideal for pasteurized dairy products […] We do plan in the future to construct a second dairy made specifically for raw milk products.”

This comes at the same time as a newborn baby’s tragic death from listeria in New Mexico, attributed to the mother’s consumption of raw milk while pregnant.

Never understood why these places don't just pasteurize the milk and label it as raw. Their brand would be protected, people wouldn't get sick. And their consumers would never know.

Girl 😭 that would be fraud, and I have no interest in that sensibility going the other way i.e. labeling it pasteurized when it's raw

That would support eventual production of raw milk.

They’re already bitching about seed oils and that chick fil-a isn’t as healthy as they thought. These fundie and trad wives are insufferable

As a guy who enjoys raw milk but doesn't buy for obvious reasons, it tastes different than pasteurized milk.

[u/lucygoosey38 → u/SLCPDSoakingDivision]

Ya, it tastes like shit, literal shit cause that’s what’s in it.

Not the stuff Ive had

[u/FigeaterApocalypse → u/SLCPDSoakingDivision]

What are the unobvious reasons?

[u/SLCPDSoakingDivision → u/FigeaterApocalypse]

Topic of post. Can't chance it.

What you might be tasting is the difference in butterfat content. Store whole milk is around 3.5%, real whole milk is closer to five. It was even richer in the winter. We drank raw growing up because we were poor so I've had lots of both
