Personally I don’t belive in Raw milk, however I think if people want to risk drinking it and they see benfit who am I to stop them.
I take the same stance on this cheese board thing, if you wanna eat it go ahead.
If you get sick, not my problem, if your child gets sick and dies, again, not my problem, your problem and you handle the consequences yourself.
However, the nanny state liberals don’t feel the same.
Hate to break it to you, but this is the way most of the world has made cheese for most of history, and it's still the way it's done in most of the world.
Cheesemaking is a process of controlled spoilage. This is true no matter what kind of aging board it sits on.
And it makes the ultimate in home made ice cream.
Take it you don’t care much for cheese as this is how the majority of cheeses - anywhere - are made.
I’ve learned a lot about raw milk the last couple of years. Since moving to KY I’ve met quite a few people that are seriously into it. It caused me to do some reading.
The only way they legally “sell” it here is to sell shares in the cow. And the cool thing is that when raw milk goes bad, it doesn’t rot. It becomes cheese.
But here is the creepy part: When the FDA targets a small family dairy (I’m talking a cow or two), they will watch and wait until the husband is gone, or even both husband and wife, leaving teenagers there, and then come in, identify themselves and start asking a lot of intimidating or, conversely, seemingly harmless questions. And if they get the answers they want, charges are filed.
More and more our government looks like the SS. The nation is becoming so fascist that anyone wanting to earn a living without working for a large corporation has to constantly watch their back or jump through insurmountable legal and regulatory hoops.
It’s easier to just do the Greek thing - Cash only...
The powers that be once disdained wooden cutting boards based on this same argument of speculation they weren't clean. A scientific study showed it was a false premise, in fact wood had certain inherent antimicrobial qualities.
Damnit, my body decided I was lactose intolerant two years ago so the only milk products I can have are those treated or well aged cheese, most of which are aged on wood.
