Isn't it curious that at this juncture in our culture's evolution, we collectively believe Twinkies, Lucky Charms, and Coca-Cola are safe foods, but compost-grown tomatoes and raw milk are not? With legislation moving through Congress demanding that all

Be careful with raw milk. My husband, when he was a teen, worked on a farm and became very ill. Turns out the cows had Bang's Disease and he got Undulant Fever from the milk and the cows. This disease stays in the blood forever. All because the milk wasn't pasteurized. The pasteurizing was started for a reason, to prevent this and other diseases from getting to humans thru the milk from cows. So just be careful, it can happen to anyone who drinks raw milk.

Interesing ... never heard of that, so thank you for the warning. When I went back to visit my grandma, she geot milk from the neighbour's cow, boiled it and we had it for breaskfast everymorning I was there. I was at first reluctant to drink it (since the one here gives me stomach problems), but I have to admit, it tasted different and it did not caused me stomach problems at all.
