| No wonder we have to take calcium supplements. And that shouldn't be the case. I'd like to hear from a farmer. I'd would like to buy milk straight from him, and cut out the middle man. give the profits back where it belongs. Make home made butter, get a creamier milk, with plenty of calcium before its sucked out? |

You know what I find funny about this. *h.itting the news recently, I was told about it by a dairy farmer in WA over ten years ago! The last time I have ever drank full cream milk straight from the farm was when the dairy farmers were on strike here in the '70s, it was so rich it made me ill.
apologies for the . but the censor bot thinks it's swear word even though there is a space between the 's' and 'hitting'???????????silly auto bot. |

Milk from a Hereford cow is about 15% milk fat, and is watered down to 3.1% to comply with standards.
It is illegal to buy unpasteurised milk direct from the farm in some states, and they won't sell it anyway (legal liability). |

Which is great but it means you will probably have to drive all the way out to his dairy farm just to buy some milk. Its up to you but ill just stick with the corner deli those guys deserve some of the wealth to. |

| have you seen the water that they drain off milk before you get it???? i have and when you understand that a cow drinks 10 gallons of water a day and eats grass, you then understand why there is some much water in cows milk, switch to goats milk much better for human's then cows milk!!!!!! |

Hey wadejohn75 That's why you buy milk that is organically/biodynamicall y farmed....
It's much better for the cows and the environment. The milk you get from the supermarkets nowadays are so full of synthetic additives. I mean what's all this about "smart milk", "trim", "low fat", "added calcium", etc???? No wonder all these kids are having allergies with commercialised milk.....Your body actually needs animal fat in order for it to function at its optimal. And calcium derived from vegetable matter gets absorbed into your body better than cow's milk would.
Plus the *** genising process of milk, whereby the fat particles of cream are strained through tiny pores under great pressure, the resulting fat particles are so small that it stays in suspension rather than rise to the top of the milk hence making the fat more susceptible to rancidity and oxidation. (linked to heart disease) How unatural is that???? So really it's not full cream milk that's bad for you, it's the *** GENISED milk.
It's not raw cow's milk that's bad for you. It's the commercialised method of farming dairy cows that's bad for you whereby the use of antibiotics and chemical drenching are the 'norm'. *gross* Poor cows..... |

This is about what Monsanto is doing to our food and how media has suppressed the truth from the people.
FOX TV sacked their investigators who exposed Monsantos flawed �Bovine Growth Hormone�.
See this video as the corporate and media world amalgamated to sell you the people lies at any cost. They sacked the investigators who refused bribes or to publish the Murdoch FOX spin presented by lawyers and executives of that TV network

"I would'nt drink milk straight from a cow if I were you. Ever seen what a cow is fed, drenched with or poured on with?"
My husband used to be a dairy farmer and I have milked with him on many occasions.
Firstly, if a cow has mastitis, has been given penicillin, or drenched with some drenches (other drenches don't end up in the udders), the cow is still milked but the farmer takes the hose from her milking claw off the main line and diverts her milk into a bucket, which is kicked over by the drain.
No mastitis or penicillin affected milk goes to the vat.
Then the milk goes through a filter before going into the vat, and the filter gets replaced after every milking.
The dairy system undergoes a sanitising flush every day with chemicals that terrorists would love to get their hands on, but everything used is food grade (so it all evaporates before the next milking) and the vats, filters, milking claws, lines etc are all stainless steel.
Then the milk factories stipulate a maximum bacteria level that they allow. If the dairy farm breaches this level they risk not having their milk picked up for an X amount of days. The farmer then loses milk cheques and has to still milk the cows but pump the milk straight out into the paddock. I can assure you, the farmer wants to comply to the bacteria threshold.
Lastly, hubby brought milk home from the farm every day. The milk was delicious and noone ever got sick. |

Big red, "low fat" or "skim milk" is just this: When you put untreated milk in a jug, the butterfat rises to the top. This is what is skimmed off and used for making cheese, butter and cream. The remaining milk is "skim milk" (fat skimmed off) and is sold as such.
Full cream milk is milk where the butterfat has not been skimmed off. I'm not sure how extra calcium is added or how "smart milk" is made, but this is a nobrainer that needs no chemicals. |

I'm reminded of that joke...
Who was first to look at a cow's udders and think "man I'm gonna drink me some of that" ?
Not me, that's for sure. |

How about this one:
Matilda and Daisy are standing in the paddock chewing away at their cud.
Then Daisy goes "Hey Matilda, what do you make of this Mad Cow Disease?"
Matilda says "Doesn't worry me one bit".
"Why not?" asks Daisy
"Because I'm a helicopter" |
