Raw Milk

Raw Milk. Yes.

Well, I tried it yesterday and it tasted amazing, it was sweeter than anything I'd ever known to be "milk". For me, though, it didn't hit the spot or do the trick. My body was not very responsive to it and I got a wee bit bloated.

But, what is raw milk? It's milk that typically comes straight from a local farm, in this case, it was from a farm I was staying close to in Fort Collins, CO, that has not been nuked, cooked or pasteurized. The milk at the store has been pasteurized or ultra-pasteurized meaning that all the nutrients that might have been in the milk, have been killed and the molecular formation of the milk has been altered from the heat.

So, if allt he nutrients have been killed, then what's with the milk and calcium link?

Well, there isn't one. Milk has been shown to leach calcium from the bones and cause disease meaning that someone, or some entity has done a really amazing marketing job of making you think otherwise. Not only that, but cows that come from factory farms and provide a lot of the milk that's on the shelves today leak blood and puss into the milk from being so unhealthy- hyped up on steroids, antibiotics & sick- that they can barely stand and bleed from their utters. If this isn't bad enough, they also have a 3-4 times shorter lifespan than cows that are free range on farms.

One of the benefits, aside from not having disgusting puss & blood in your milk and not having calcium leached from your bones is that raw milk can provide healthy probiotics for your large intestine. Probiotics are critical to help grow your friendly bacteria and foster a happy n' healthy digestive system.

So anyway, I would totally suggest finding a local dairy & purchasing your milk from there (raw) instead. It has major health benefits, major planetary benefits and let's be real, it's great karma!

ENJOY, in joy!

Love. love. LOVE. EVOL!
