While there are many proponents of raw milk [1], there are even more folks against it. Recently a family vacationing at a working farm ran into complications from drinking raw milk [2] (they're going to be okay, but had contracted a bacterial food poisoning because of it). Raw milk sales are actually prohibited in many countries as well as 25 states and DC [3].

California is one of the states that allows it and I was able to pick up this jug at Whole Foods. The flavor is much richer and strong, I would even consider it somewhat "grassy" tasting, as if you could tell what the cow had fed on. It's nothing like store-bought milk — especially the lower fat versions. It's wonderfully smooth and, for lack of a better word, milky tasting.

So tell me, would you drink raw milk? Or do the health concerns worry you?
