Don't get me wrong, it tastes really good, way better than what you get at the store. But it pisses me off that they charge multiple times the normal price just because it's "raw". Maybe if you are growing child, it's worth it.
Milk production is heavily subsidized in the USA and I doubt the raw milk industry gets a cut of that subsidization which could lead to higher costs. Also raw milk probably doesn't have the same economy of scale as homogenized pasteurized milk.

Half of the value is helping a local farmer stay afloat in a time of factory farms and over-regulation. Your local raw milk farmer is holding the line against Bill Gates' vaccines-in-your-food agenda.
Yeah milk is my favorite drink, I thought I was gonna get a real nice treat with raw milk but I couldn't tell the difference between cheap whole milk from the store.

It's a well-known fact that Whites are one of the few races that maintain lactase production througout adulthood, specifically because we, as a culture, decided we wanted to drink milk as adults.
So, I ask you, what makes you feel like drinking milk is weird? Sounds like a nonwhite opinion.
> I can't tell if you're a vegan or trying to promote breast milk...
It's not necessary to immediately categorize every person into a predefined box, it is possible to have a normal discussion.
Drinking any other animals milk is considered disgusting, for instance: dogs milk, horse milk, monkey milk, etc.
I think it's important to realize that we've just become desensitized to it. If we all grew up drinking dog milk or something, we'd all think it's perfectly fine. The same way you think drinking cows milk isn't weird.
God created certain animals for us to practice animal husbandry. I think it's fine to drink milk as an adult. All the reasons people tell you not to such as "you're not a calf or you're a child anymore" have 0 evidence to prove it's harmful effects.
In Colorado, you have to buy a share in a herd to get raw milk. It's the only legal way to do it.
