Where in the Jesus Hell can a person find a supplier of raw (ie. unpasteurized) milk in this city?? I understand that it’s technically illegal to sell the stuff, but let’s be practical – people have hacked their iphones to do more insidious shit. If I want to take the supposed health risk of injecting pure, unadulterated bovine lactation into my goddamn VEINS, that should be MY call to make.
Seriously, what do I have to do here, meet some dairy farmer down at the pier at midnight with a wad of bills? Drive around the south shore flashing my tits for some hot, frothy love?? You can’t throw a rock in this city without hitting six dealers growing cannabis in their fucking flower gardens, so why is this so fucking difficult?
I know it’s big business’s fault for wanting to keep as much agricultural profits in their pocket as possible, but MAN UP, dairy farmers! Or at least start making your own skyr, how about it? —NOT getting a raw deal that’s for damn sure

You could always buy a cow.
Can’t have livestock in the city, Sebastian…
I think the question is- why do you want unpasteurized milk? And, what does it have to do with your title? Pasteurization kills disease causing bacteria and stops the milk from spoiling within a few days. Why would you not want that?
I’ve got some unpasteurized milk for you baby… huh huh huh………
Just sneak on some dairy farms and suck right on the tit. This new organic health craze seems to be getting nuttier and nuttier.
Yeah I don’t understand the title. Wouldn’t unpasteurized milk make you fat? I drink yummy clean skim milk so no, it doesn’t make me fat. Maybe they want to get some sort of virus from unpastuerized milk so they can’t keep anything in their stomach, making them skinnier after a couple weeks?
Buy homogenized milk and pour some cream and bacon fat in it.
I don’t drink milk, haven’t for decades because of the additives and hormones. I suspect that one day they will link processed milk to breast cancer, along with wire bras and pertified hedgehogs.
I am not dissing milk drinkers. To each his own. To each his zone. Just making an observation. I’ve always found it curious that humans are so keen to slurp milk beyond the infancy for which it is intended that they will resort to drinking the milk of another species. Sure, it contains valuable nutrients but other mammalian species thrive after weaning, on their natural diet. Is drinking milk, no matter how tasty, an unnatural act? Human babies are not ever weaned from milk (or, gasp, formula!). They are weaned from the bottle (or breast) to the sippy cup and/or to the glass containing the milk of another mammalian species.
Okay, okay, hetero males are only weaned from the breast until sometime after puberty where-upon their desire to suckle returns again:) Hehehe…
And to plagiarize Woody Allen (I believe) we spend 9 months gearing up to make our great escape from the vagina only for 9 out of 10 of us to devote the remainder of our lives trying to get back in
OP, any dairy farm that produces milk with the intention to sell must be licensed by, and only sell to, the Dairy Farmers of Nova Scotia. If caught selling directly to a consumer, the farmer will most likely have their license to sell milk revoked in addition to being fined.
Responsible dairy farmers are not willing to risk their business to accommodate a few people who want unpasteurized daily products. You want unpasteurized milk? Get a small farm outside of the city limits, buy a cow and keep the milk for yourself. Problem solved.
You’re right Oceanlady… After about age 5, most people actually stop producing the lactase required to break down the lactose enzymes in milk and milk products. It came into fashion simply because milk is indeed healthy, and it was a simple way for poor farmers in Europe to get nutrients, specifically calcium and vitamin D.
Fun Fact: lactose intolerance increases as you travel east. Small numbers in North/South America, small numbers in most of Western Europe, then once you hit Eastern Europe and Asia, lactose tolerance becomes the minority.
I don’t understand why anyone would want to drink unpasteurized milk. That shit’s nasty.
Oceanlady:
I see what you’re saying, I believe humans are the only species to continue drinking milk after weaning, but I think the answer may lie within your own question. You said “other mammalian species thrive after weaning, on their natural diet”. What is the human natural diet? We all eat different things in different parts of the globe, some is healthy, some isn’t. Humans tend to get lax with their diets after a child gets past infancy and drinking milk is a way to make sure a child gets a multitude of vitamins and minerals, most importantly, calcium, at once in a tastier way than say, eating broccoli, which also has calcium. Broccoli only has 74mg of calcium per cup, but milk has 296, so if it’s calcium you’re after, which is the better choice?
Mostly, I think it just became ingrained in our culture somewhere along the way as being an important food, and we don’t really question it.
So, you acknowledge that it’s illegal to sell unpasteurized milk. But you justify it by saying people have hacked their iPhones to do illegal stuff as well??
Technically, it’s illegal to kill someone, or steal from them or break a window in someone’s house, but are they ok because someone hacks their iPhones to do illegal stuff?
Rather stupid comparison…
I’ve heard that cooking & baking with unpasturized milk yields better results and that it tastes better than the pasturized variety. I have no idea if that’s true.
If milk is sold to us we’ll buy it. Personally I enjoy the taste and don’t mind getting my vitamins and calcium from it. However, as humans, we’ve only been drinking dairy milk for several millenia – maybe seven or eight. It’s probably the same reason we drink pop.
Then again, what else is there to mix with white russians and protein shakes?
That’s most likely due to the higher fat content, jennier.
NGF— Soy milk… It’s nasty, but I’ve seen people use it.
I don’t mind soy milk that much, Feves. The chocolate flavoured ‘silk’ is actually not that bad.
Mmmmmmmmmmm….soy milk. With a lifelong allergy to milk, imagine the joy in discovering the delights of soy milk. Cereal is now a possibility. Foods normally made with milk, like chowders, are now a possibility. These products did not exist when I was an ankle-biter. Soy ice cream! A recent addition the soy line of products. For the first time in my life I can enjoy ice cream! Soy milk…mmmmmmmmmm. I can see though, where milk drinkers would be disappointed if they expect soy milk to resemble the taste of cow’s milk. I am soooo glad it doesn’t.
Oh yea the latest foody trend yea yea yea; but I don’t think it’s worth a dairy farmer going to jail so a “enlightened” food scenester can jump on the bus
there is a lady somewhere in canada making cheese out of her breast milk
She must have thought “Borat” was a real documentary.
try soy cheese and soy sour cream, OceanLady! Veggie Soy cheese slices lets me enjoy my grilled cheese sandwiches again 🙂
Milk tastes great.
Thanks HaliwoodGirl, but unfortunately due to the nature of my allergy I find the stench of all cheeses to be utterly putrid so artificially putrid products have less appeal for me. I wish sometimes that it were not so as I watch the toppings tumble off my pizza to the floor. (sigh)
I read that as well paingirl. She serves it to family and friends too. As per my afore-mentioned revulsion of all things cheese the very thought of mother’s milk cheese sets the old gag reflux in motion!
breast milk cheese… that’s really pretty nasty… logically, I suppose it’s no more nasty than eating the cheese produced from that fat smelly cow in the field… but somehow I could never talk myself into eating it. Yak.
Shoulda typed reflex instead of reflux but the result is about the same.
Reflux would be more accurate… I’d lose my lunch.
I think the consistency of soy milk gets me. For a while, I had to use powdered milk… I think it reminds me too much of that.
What I don’t understand are people that drink Homo milk. Gah, it’s like drinking cream.
there used to be a woman on the commons road in chester, another up off walker road in new ross, and there is a guy in stewiacke, that has goat and cow milk.
the goats again! i think many of our problems could be solved with a few of those in every yard
LOL Dr. Fever, you couldn’t swallow the homo cream eh?
VOR— I’m glad somebody caught on to that.
actually goat milk is non-alergenic, and if you have a kid who can’t take bottle or tit, then that’s the way to go.as for drinking “raw” milk, calves, kittens and pups do it, and they survive just fine. check out kijiji, and you will see numerous kittens there. also, when i used to live on the farm, we used to have freash cow milk every day, just cooled for awhile in auntie’s fridge. but the best stuff is straight from the teat. and yes, it will fatten you up in a hurry. i weighed in at over 260 pounds, when i was 14.i lived with my uncle and aunt from age 5 to 14. now i top at about 160, i miss my fucking fat.
Dr. Fever – did you at least give it a chance? It’s not for everyone but if you like it then you really like it 😛
I think even 2% taste like drinking cream. fucking grosssss! I used to drink 2%, then switched to 1%, and now I’m on skim. When I visit my mother, all she has is 2%. I read the nutritional information and almost puked. I guess I never really thought it would have that much fat in it, but ICK!!
VOR— I gave it a chance… I don’t know what does it though. It’s either the fact that it’s all thick, or the way it coats the back of my throat as I drink it… Wait, what are we talking about here?
LOL I don’t think we’re talking about milk anymore 🙂
Oy vey…
i frigg’n love milk 2% only but it was either cheese or milk and i live for cheeses so …
Someone say a woman’s making breast milk cheese…isn’t all cheese made from breast milk ?
Milk of any kind is Nasty ! I like milk products (cheese, butter,cream/sour cream) but I can’t stand milk not even in coffee or tea, not at all…. cringequivertwitch
teats, tits…it’s all good
i’m sure there’s a freak show web site for lactating cheese making sluts or something it’s called www/squeezycheezyho’s.com ummm i think i read somewhere and wouldn’t have any first hand knowledge about 🙂
Soy cheese still has casein and whey in it from dairy milk (the milk proteins), so if you’re allergic to either one of those (or have an intolerance) you can’t have soy cheese either.
Most of these dairy alternative products focus on the lack of lactose for those lactose intolerant and don’t focus on those of us who have allergies/intolerances to other dairy ingredients.
the movie ‘shoot em up’ has some interesting lactating scenes and well other stuff too! mmm…clive owen, he should have been bond
He would have made a good one. He can do that cold hard edge thing (Croupier 4Xample). Craig is good for that; most convincing nasty Bond since early Sean.
Thanks Pretty Kitty for confirming what I already suspected as truth about soy cheese. To imitate real cheese flavour, the addition of milk components is a probability. My revulsion for all things cheese or cheese-ish has never led me to read the label of the soy cheese packet. Besides my allergy to milk and it’s derivatives, it seems incredulous that something that stinks as bad as cheese does (to me) could even have ever been considered something one would want to put in their mouth by the first human to ever do so when the milk curdled. Must have been nothing else to eat in the cave…hehehe!
yea and the first vegans started eating quinoa and cous-cous etc. because the look and taste said yummy yummy yummy good viddles 🙂
Can’t have cows in the city? I swear I saw some at LuLu Lemon trying to squeeze into yoga clothing.
Yeah, somewhere along the way City Hall forgot the Commons were designed so livestock could graze.
