Yes, NoT Milk TOO!

I was really saddened but not really surprised in my recent quest to seek out what I have really been drinking ( the fine print). I am sure some of you will be amazed as well.

Todays health has become more and more important to some of us, who for several years, paid little or no attention to what we ate or drank. It was pretty much, as the old joke from the past... the see food diet, what we saw and liked we ate or drank.

Now as an old farm boy, who grew up from a child, on a Grade A Dairy... Milk was my one drink that I was litterally addicted to. In the beginning of my youth I learned how important it was to take good care of the cows, cleanliness of barns, disinfectants used to control bacterias, the feed given to the cows, and general wellfare of the cows.

In those days we had our milk inspected before the truck picked up the milk, and our farm was one of the top dairies in the country. Our family was proud of the product we delivered. We specialized in a product for the dairy we sold to, for butterfat, so we we had to maintain a higher level of milk to ship. ( Golden Jersey Milk)

Our neighbors would come from all over to buy our milk...knowing that they got the real thing, and knowing no surprises would show up in the milk.

Now today one would call our milk, Raw Milk or Organic... It was the real Stuff for centuries... before man started to intervene.

The modern age of supply and demand, greater population, less area for the Dairy farmers, continued rising costs of feed, equipment, costs staggering to operate, has forced many who were once in this business are now, no longer. This leaving those who are left to carry the production load.

What does this have to do with MILK? Everything!
