An interesting little article came my way suggesting that raw milk may be good for you. At least, when its done right.

It does make me wonder how much we've lost by megafood production.

I used to be able to get raw milk in California (before I went to college.) Alta Dena Dairy started out doing solely raw milk and milk products for health food stores. The raw milk cottage cheese was to die for, and the milk was pretty good too.

I've also had milk right from the cow, still warm, which is completely yummy.

By the time I moved back to CA, in the early 1990s, Alta Dena barely sold any raw milk products at all. I don't know if they got sued, or what. Their pasteurized stuff is still better than your average grocery store product, though.

The best I can do around here (and not often, because of the drive) is to go to Richardson's dairy in Middleton and buy their milk. It's pasteurized, but very fresh (the cows live out back), and the skim milk is the best I've ever had.
