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?

the good bacteria along with the bad bacteria is eliminated in the Pasteurization process. Raw milk from verified healthy cows does not last as long while refrigerated. The pasteurization process allows longer shelf life and that's the full reason why it's preferred - it covers the ass of liability claims and allows a farther reach in terms of market area which is about MONEY.
The ENTIRE dairy industry is something that is preferred - not required for humans.
