Is "raw milk" just the latest "anti-vax" craze?
Many people want “the good old days” before vaccines and pasteurisation and so on, forgetting that in those days only half of your kids lived to school age (and raw milk did not help that).
Heck, parents did not name kids for months, knowing they would not last long enough. It is illegal in Scotland. Oddly it is legal in England and Wales, but needs a registered farm, held to way higher hygiene standards, selling from farm shop, with a warning!
