You didn't read the entire thread, did you?
Take ENG 101 and I hope you'll develop half a brain on how to compose a proper critical essay next time.
buddy i could run circles around you in any english course. hmm let me look at your advice. well, i immediately see two independent clauses connected by a conjunction, thus YOU NEED A COMMA before that "and".....learn grammar, then critique my ability to craft a critical essay.

EXACTLY. This is why they are trying to go back to raw milk because it is from local farms, not corporate farms that receive funding from government to monopolize the market. Local farmers take more pride in taking care of their own business, including the health and well-being of animals than their counter-parts who have been busted countless times due to health violations because they're focused on the almighty dollar.
Agreed. Just note that there's nothing inherently safer about raw milk as such, unless it's obtained through trustworthy channels. God help us if Whole Foods ever jumps on the raw milk bandwagon.
Never mind, I spoke too soon (or to late): Whole Foods has already gotten into, and out of, the raw milk business.

I think this is a case of "caveat emptor" but I liked the article and comments in your link, especially this one:

I was raised on raw milk and never suffered a single day's ill health. I have however, been involved in 4 car accidents, suffering injuries ranging from mild to severe. My car is still legal. I also smoked 20 cigarettes a day for 20 years before finally kicking the habit. I suffered chronic bronchitis as a result. Cigarettes are still legal. Hundreds of thousands of people suffer from alcohol related illness. Alcohol is still legal.
The consumption of raw milk should be a choice just as much as alcohol or tobacco or McDonalds or anything else potentially harmful that we consume.
Didn't the US have an outbreak of E Coli on vegetables? VEGETABLES! Should they be banned too?
Keep your hands off my milk! Time to get things into perspective.

Milk is fine, don't fall for vegan mumbo-jumbo. Look at the cultures that have consumed dairy for millenia. They are generally large, healthy, and powerfully built.
Bullshit. They may be large, but they aren't healthy. Societies that consume high levels of animal protein have the highest rates of cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and have far lower life expectancies than countries whose diet is more plant-based.
Such as? The life expectancy in most Northern European countries is 80. Not bad.
i heard skim milk promotes acne.
Marion Jones drank milk and she won 5 Olympic Medal in one year!

We stop drinking our own mother's milk as babies. What kind of twisted logic justifies switching species and drinking the mother's milk of cows, which is designed for their calves. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid humans.
You could say that about any food
Why don't we eat meat raw like other omnivores/carnivores. why eat processed food
People who cut out milk just don't like it.They then claim to be healthy beause they cut it out, meanwhile they are banging down all sorts of junk food and drugs. Just shut up and don't drink it if you don't like it
Milk in plastic bottles has ruined it thought because it tastes better in glass
In Russia normal (full fat if you insist) cost more than 1/2 fat. Its all a big con over here just get full fat and add water!
Evolving a "tolerance" to something does not mean that it suddenly becomes an optimal food source.

How much water should one add to make skim (fat free) milk?

Doesn't mean it hasn't

I don't think i have seen a single post in here calling milk and optimal food source, first off.
Genetic mutations don't happen over the course of a couple of generations, it takes hundreds and thousands of generations for those mutations to propagate. This happened three times (that we know of) in human history in three very different places. This means that humans in widely disparate areas started drinking milk hundreds of thousands of years ago at a minimum. Clearly, as a means of survival, milk has a powerful benefit. That doesn't make it the best thing on the planet, but our ability to drink milk is purely because it is a useful source of nutrition.
You may feel fine, but you certainly aren't healthy to your fullest potential.

Good point - but then I wouldn't bother drinking that crap
I like ice cream, but I quit. I feel that meat is murder, milk is molestation, and eating eggs is rape. I eat only organic celery, spring water, and pure honey donated by bees.
