I use to milk cows way back when. Learned a lot of swear words from the farmer too. I really learned to love raw milk while I working for him, still do.
That's all we had until I was about 16. Never liked it, but if it was ice cold, I could put it on cereal.
I haven't drank it since.....but I won't drink a glass of store milk either.
It ain't natural for anything on this earth, to keep drinking milk after it is weaned. We are the ONLY animal that does it.

I've never understood folks getting so worked up over the whole milk thing. Do you not eat any cheese either? Each his own but there are a lot of things we do that other animals don't do...and yet we do them. We also cook the flesh of other animals rather than eating it raw as a general rule. Been a long time since I've seen another animal add paprika to eats prey before eating. Again, each his own I just don't see what all the fuss is about.

LMAO good point too 1911 that's funny stuff...but don't ya think they would spice things up and enjoy flavors like we do if they could too??
I eat everything I can think of made from milk I just don't drink it, it's a sour drink period so I drink a MUCH MUCH healthier drink...like 200 ounces of Mt Dew and coffee a day

When I was a kid my great-uncle put his son through his mission by selling raw milk to family members. That was all we drank during those 2 years. It was also at that time that I got sick with a virus that damaged my heart and has plagued me since then, resulting in 2 heart surgeries and my needing a heart transplant at the age of 35. My mother still believes it was the milk that led to my sickness but Im quite sure we will never know. So proceed with caution, there is a reason they sterilize the milk before you buy it.
LAST EDITED ON May-26-09 AT 08:02AM (MST)[p]I have ZERO input on weather raw milk is good for you or bad for you. Probably don't even care.
My answer was simply MY own personal opinion. I don't like milk, either way.
Milk and cheese don't taste the same at all. Except goat milk and goat cheese....that stuff SHOULD be outlawed, as way too nasty to eat.
I would guess, that even as modern as the world is today, more milk drinkers still drink raw milk, worldwide.
I'm also not sure I see the connection to animals cooking their food before they eat it. They are animals, why would they care?
And yes, I did forget about the "Milk Snake" in Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky, and Oklahoma, that routinely drinks milk directly from cows udders......"them folks swear they seen it happen!"

I would heavily encourage you not to drink raw milk. Lysteria will give you the worst case of the sh!ts you ever dreamed of.
As for the remarks about humans are the only mammals who drink milk ha 1911 good reply.
Lets see humans are the only ones who......
where clothes
cook our food
wipe our butt
watch tv
laugh
etc....
God made milk and made cows able to give enough to feed us all the nourishment it brings along with the other products made from it..

I can't stand the taste of raw milk. I milked 3 goats from the time I was 8 until I turned 13. Twice a day. My bro and a couple other kids around town had to have goats milk because they were allergic to cows milk. It was just too nasty to drink for me and most of the rest of the family. At least the ones that were old enough to know the difference.
I have 6 kids now and we buy a lot of milk from the store these days. Seems like we eat cereal two meals per day around this place.
I can't stand raw mile though. It has a taste I can't seem to like. Goats or cows either one.

Well, OK, I guess you retards cannot make a distinction between Biology and choice.
It is somewhat more complex than this, but I will keep it simple, so I don't get any more 3rd grade responses.
Biologically, it is not natural to drink milk after an animal is weaned. We humans think we are smarter than God, or nature, so we "choose" to continue the practice....or not.
If you "choose" to cook your food, wear clothes, or laugh at someone who is wiping their azz.....that is your choice.
Animals must obey Biology and therefore cannot choose to do anything that requires logic or progressive thought. Somewhat like Democrats.

Well on the "we are the only mammal that drinks milk past being weaned" subject.
about five years ago our dog had a "false pregnancy" and my five year old cat would nurse off her. so it is not common but given the chances animals will drink milk past being weaned.
oh and nothing grosser then raw milk!

When I was a kid the lady who used to babysit me owned a dairy farm and she always had raw milk to drink. I agree with most everyone else that stuff is NASTY. Odds are if you've spent much time on a big dairy farm you won't like milk all that much when you see where it comes from.

When I was a kid my dad got suckered into a taste test of cows milk vs goats milk. He could not tell the difference and quite frankly neither could I. So my Dad buys a bunch of milk goats and turns them loose on the farm. Problem is, they ate everything from weeds to shingles off the barn. Nastiest tasting beverage you'll ever drink.You gotta grain feed them suckers or feed them some sweet hay. Now as for whole milk I love that stuff probably more so than the 2%.

I drink raw milk quite often.....chilled right from the dairy.....these ca dairies have those cattle on a diet that makes the milk taste exactly the same as whole pasturized milk from the store.....only difference is that is seperates and needs to be stirred up after sitting in the fridge

Here's a "raw milk " story for you guys.
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/OnCall/story?id=7682702&page=1
When Tim Browne sits down to a bowl of corn flakes in the morning, he slurps up one unusual, and controversial, extra ingredient: his own daughter's breast milk.
He doesn't do it for the taste -- Browne initally said his daughter Georgia's breast millk tasted "not unpleasant, but slightly pungent" -- but for his health.
Nearly two years ago, the retired teacher and musician from Wiltshire, England, was diagnosed with colon cancer. He went into surgery a week before his daughter's wedding, but a month later, doctors told him the cancer had spread to his liver and lymph nodes and was terminal.
Surgery was ruled out this time, so Browne began a course of chemotherapy. Desperate to help, his daughter Georgia came up with the idea while watching a show about breast milk.
"[It was] a man in America. It was prostate cancer this man had and he'd been drinking breast milk every day," she said. "Anyway, this guy really swore by the breast milk and said that it had reduced his tumors."
Georgia was nursing her 8-month-old son Monty and offered to set aside a few ounces of milk every day for Browne. Browne started calling Monty his "milk brother."
"If I have a lactating daughter, why not take advantage of her? As long as Monty didn't mind," Browne said.
Browne had to stop taking his daughter's milk when nausea from the chemotherapy made the taste intolerable to him. He is not cured of the cancer, but he is convinced that taking the milk was the right thing to do.
"It's very difficult to tell if something is working or not," Browne said. "What we feel comfortable about is the process of doing it has been amazing and has helped all of our family."
ABC News medical contributor Dr. Marie Savard said that even though breast milk is known to have benefits and it's make up can't be reproduced, "there's no research to say those same proteins in human breast milk will benefit this man."
Savard said the placebo effect in this case, though, is very real.
"I think the most tender part of this piece is providing hope," she said. "They both together strengthen their relationship. Does it work? We don't know."
Browne is not the only cancer fighter turning to what scientists call the "highly alternative" treatment of drinking breast milk.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, there have been "intriguing new developments [which] indicate that breast milk may ... reduce the risk of childhood cancer."
A protein in human milk can cause cancerous cells to "self-destruct," the FDA said on its Web site. That unique characteristic of the protein could potentially help battle cancer in adults, some doctors say.
"There's promising research that would indicate that in the future the solution for not only preventing cancer, but even treating and curing cancer might be in human milk," said Dr. Lori Feldman-Winter at Cooper University Hospital in New Jersey.
But for the relatively few adults seeking the alternative treatment, breast milk is expensive, requires a prescription and is difficult to find, unless they happen to be near one of the six milk banks in the United States that were created specifically to provide breast milk to adults.
"In the past we have had one to two inquiries a month," said Dr. Deborah Tuttle of the Mothers' Milk Bank at Christiana Hospital in Newark, Del.
Other milk banks give their milk to premature infants, where doctors prefer to use breast milk because research shows a greater chance of benefits.
As far as breast milk becoming a common treatment for terminal cancer patients, Savard pointed out that there's not enough milk in the country for premature babies. And because they are known to benefit from breast milk, that's where the focus needs to be, rather than cancer treatments.
But because Browne gets his milk from his daughter -- after her son eats -- "I think there's not harm done in this situation," Savard said.

I dont even know what to say to that thing.. Holy crap..!
Anyways I love the stuff.. If I drink store bought milk it hurts my stomach. But I can drink half a gallon of whole raw cows milk and get nothin out of it but a burp and good bacteria.
I have drank milk from the dairy bulk tank many times and it has always been good, And as far as seeing where it comes from cmon you skeeered of a little cow shiite. HA it gets strained besides kids these days suffer from so much other crap they need to build up antibodies ! LOL
We take the cream off the jug and I make butter out of it twice a week. Thanks for the replies I got more than I thought... Even you Zigger Zags..
