COWS ARE PEOPLE TOO
Travelling in Ireland, my husband and I heard a cow vociferously mooing. The farmer came out of the barn over to the cow and spoke gently to her, and she ceased mooing. Cows are the most gentle of creatures and have feelings too. Their milk is used by otherwise vegetarian Hindus and the cow-goddess is honored widely look at the goodness she provides to the human race.

Amen Andy! Why DON"T they just sell the stuff that came from cows?? May the force be with you milk smugglers out there! The illegality of raw milk gives us a great thrill in our house where we don't break any laws but still feel mischievious drinking our wonderful milk, straight from the cow. My husband says he feels like he's smoking pot or something, makes us feel young again, sneaking around with our.... MILK! Could the irony be any worse, illegal to consume the most natural, nutritious and traditional foods?

I always wondered what the purpose of homogenizing milk was. I mean, what's wrong with shaking a bottle? It's good exercise and very little trouble. I think I figured it out: they can market all that 2% and 1% and "skim milk" and make more money off it. Then they can use that fat to make into butter and cream and whatnot, and kill two birds with one stone. They want us to buy the "reduced fat" sh** so they can use the fat to capitalize off of other products. Then, as with fluoridated water, they tell us it's healthy for us to manipulate us.

When it's homogenized we don't have the FREEDOM to simply scoop off what fat we don't want. Homogenization is fascism. I am angry that the only unhomogenized milk available to me is prohibitively expensive. I'd LOVE to try raw milk, but unfortunately there are no cows in this area (suburbs of Detroit). Lots of jack*sses, but no cows. And it's against the law to have a pet goat or anything. I'd love to try raw goat's milk.

How about, "What happened to food?"
80-90%of what is in a grocery store that is labeled food, is not food. The definition of food is something that nourishes the body. If you ask the FDA what the definition of food is it's anything you can put in your mouth and swallow. If I go into my kitchen and get into my junk drawer and pull out a handful of thumb tacks and swallow them, does that mean I just ate food?
It is sooooo funny when people blame saturated fat and cholesterol on disease and then see them eating artificial goop. Saturated fat and cholesterol are made in the human body everyday, and have always been made in the body. They also occur in everything we eat. Even broccoli and bananas have a small amount of saturated fat and cholesterol. Yes, even plants contain a tiny amount of cholesterol, though it is so small it is usually not considered to be there. How can these two things which have always been made by our bodies and been in our diet be the cause of all our ills and MSG, HFCS, artificial colors and flavors, pesticides, synthetic hormones, GMO's along with all the other FILTH we have only been eating for barely a century be safe and good for us? Thank goodness we have all these "experts" to fix the mistakes God made with our food supply. Thanks "Experts".

Imagine that, drinking raw milk? It's what almost every human that every lived has done from their own mother, a wet nurse, a cow, or goat. since the species has existed, up until the infant formula and refined/stripped,/chemically altered and dumb-downed dairy industry decided to spin lies about the better for you aspects of their poison brands.

Amen! Andy Rooney really knows how to tell it like it is! Although I don't agree with one statement that he says about saturated fat clogging your arteries (we know the truth). Funny that he mentioned Wallington, NJ. I used to live about 5 minutes away from that "dairy" in Lodi, NJ. No farms, no cows. Where in the world did the milk come from?
My family and I have been drinking fresh milk (I refuse to call it raw milk because that implies that it has to be cooked) for over a month now. I drive about 100 miles a week to get it. Worth every trip. Would love to cut down on the carbon footprint I'm leaving by traveling so far, but here in Delaware, it's illegal to sell fresh milk. It's also illegal to bring it over state line. I guess then I'm a smuggler. It's not moonshine, though, I call it "moo-shine"! :)
