More info about raw milk

This article about raw milk was in Dr. Mercola's newsletter today. Let me know what you think. Maybe some day it will not be so hard to get around here.

A few months ago, we did get some raw milk. It was great - I made puddings and lots of butter. Butter is actually pretty easy to make in a mixer and tastes AMAZING. The milk tasted a little different from the pasteurized variety, but it was really good, especially knowing that it is so much healthier (if coming from a very clean source).

I made the switch to butter from olive oil Becel margarine a few months ago, though I still use margarine for baking most of the time. I just wish I could make our own butter on a regular basis! I'm hoping that with the push towards organic and health foods, raw milk will soon be allowed to be sold here.
