Raw milk is one of those ideas that can really only take hold when people haven't seen a cow. if you see a cow from let's say ten feet or less you immediately understand the problem that pasteurization is solving

For people who have never seen a cow I'll explain: Cows are covered in cow shit. All the time. Even clean cows who get bathed regularly have cow shit on them. But listen to me. Normal dairy cows are not getting baths. They have cowshit on them, the splash back from their cowshit gets on udders. So does cow urine. Also listen mud gets on cow udders, cow hair, bugs, and other nasties will get in the milk. But most importantly: cow shit. There is so much cow shit involved with cows even in the cleanest and healthiest dairies. Cows shit a LOT. Also for some reason cows like to lie down in cowshit. You will have a whole pasture with no cowshit and they will find the most disgusting pile of cowshit you've ever had the misfortune to smell and they lie right in it. When cows were milked by hand this was a problem- when cows are milked with machinery this is a problem. Cows are animals and they shit. A lot. And it's going to get into the milk. And listen. You do not want to drink cow shit germs in milk. And milk can be filtered all you want and it is- but germs? gotta cook those fuckers out. So you don't get sick from the cowshit. TLRD: cow shit.
