Growing up as a millennial, you got your gallon at the store and that was that. In grade school each year at least a paragraph if not a chapter was dedicated to the heroics of Louis Pasteur and his world renown life saving pasteurization discovery. But now, local dairy farms are offering raw milk, and I’ve a few friends who are swearing by it, as tastier, helping with digestion, skin issues, etc. but the CDC would lead me to believe if we buy raw milk we will all get E. coli and die . So just knowing that so many of you are leap years ahead of me on such subject. What’s the deal? Raw milk yes? Raw milk risky business?

I can only speak from my experience. Me and my siblings had nothing but raw milk straight out of the cow our entire growing years. None of us to this day has had a broken bone. 13 of us kids. We had no major allergies or sicknesses when we were young. Not until we started eating an using processed foods did we start getting sick.
When my twelve kids were growing up, we switched to raw milk in '06, By then we only had 10 still home. I bought from local dairy, drove thirty min to pick up. Cost us $6/gal, I bought 4 gallons/ week. My hubby tried to help by drinking his "own" gallon of cheap milk. I drink almond milk sometimes. We thought the good stuff for the kids was worth it. None of them have ever had a broken bone, either, ptl.
Same and we had the best butter I’ve ever tasted in my life. Used to eat it as it flecked up from the churn and not a single kid out of 11 were fat. I’m still not, can’t say the same for the rest of the family
Oh, yeah! The butter was the best!
