Q: Why can't I buy fresh milk? A: It is a Crime

Ridiculous that I cannot drink raw milk. Did you know that it is a crime for the dairy to sell it to you? One must sneak around like a drug pusher and hide the milk and keep silent about it. I myself have not done this, but I have seen people with coolers sneaking around, looking in all directions before swooping down into the cooler to take out a bottle of milk to quickly and surreptitiously pass it on to the drinker.
About 1995 I bought some store milk and tried to make cheese. I had a rotten, disgusting mess which I threw out. Then I learned that the pasteurized, homogenized milk has been too processed to use for any kind of cooking.
Not so long ago, people used whey in all kinds of healthy fermentation and made their own cheeses.
Now many people tell me that milk makes them sick.
Then I learned that lactose intolerance is not present in fresh, unprocessed milk because raw milk has nutrients and enzymes and is digestible. The milk was not making them sick, it was the processing.
Ron Schmidt' s book "The Untold Story of Milk" is one I glanced through and it looks good. I plan to read it soon.

Weston A. Price Foundation link at the bottom of this page gives unbelievable stories of people charged with the CRIME OF RAW MILK.
I notice all kinds of good people being charged with the crime of giving people fresh, unprocessed milk. "Something is wrong with this picture."
I found out about an organization called "Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund" and I joined. Link is http://www.farmtoconsumer.org. We need to fight back.
I resent the FDA (government) telling me what I can eat.
