  • Raw milk is a big issue at the moment.  Michael Schmidt of Glencolton Farms has been legally charged for running a cow share program in Ontario, Canada. Michael is fighting his charges. Go, Michael, go!
  • The Weston A. Price Foundation wrote a great rebuttal to the FDAs position on the safety of raw milk consumption. It's long, but worth the read.
  • Pasteurized? Ultra pasteurized? Organic? Commercially-raised? Real, healthy milk is hard to find, but worth the search. Understanding 'why' is your first step. My mind is made up about raw milk. I definitely wouldn't drink pasteurized dairy, and indeed we've raised our paleo kids quite nicely without. However, now that I have access to 100% pastured, raw dairy, we've been making some cultured products: yoghurts of all types and kefir. I also like some pure, heavy cream in my tea now and then. I keep it as a compliment in our diet and at times we go without with no noticeable change or effect.
