    Am i seeing this right, that you can buy raw milk in grocery stores? What the fuck?

    Raw milk gets bad way to fast in order to sell it in a grocery store.

      I believe it has to be bought at the farm but they still do commercial packaging

        That’s interesting. I wouldn’t have thought, that so many people buy raw milk, that its profitable to do commercial packaging.

      Why are people surprised by this? Do you guys not have refrigerators in your grocery stores?

        Raw milk gets bad after about 3-4 days, even with constant cooling. This period is way to short to sell it at grocerie stores in any big scale.

          It’s like saying ‘yes we have foie gras but we also have store brand meat product.’

        You see, in America, the milk cattle live in terrible conditions. Mastitis is common. In the US, you really have to pasteurize the milk to kill all the bacteria and viruses that end up in the milk because of the conditions they live in.
