Instead of buying raw milk you could learn about why that’s a bad idea with no upsides.

I understand, I want to try it because my aunt's fam in California's been drinking it for years and apparently have never gotten sick. I did research and told them everything points to it being unhealthy she said its all bull and that all the celebs they know drink raw only.

While I don't believe it has anything to do with their health status. I just want to try it since I always hear about it is all.

Thanks for the link I'll make sure to send it to her if I get sick.

What’s bull is that they think never having an issue and it being safe are the same thing. Let alone the idea that someone being famous makes them a good judge of the scientific health benefits of a fluid that comes from a cow’s tit.

Buy yourself a cow. Problem solved.

Are you making yogurt?

You can totally make yogurt with pasteurized milk.

I know. I am giving OP the benefit of the doubt and asking so that they do not have to admit to drinking it or giving it to their kids.

Spouse picks it up from a dropoff point. There's a business that brings it in from PA that distributes throughout the state. They have to sell it as "milk for pets."

There is (or was 20 years ago) this somewhat hysterical underground triangle between the Amish, Orthodox Jews, and Pizzerias (flour that isn't on the books).

I didn't think flour was taxed? I wouldn't don't blame them if it is.

Again, this is 20 years ago, so the times may have changed....BUT....

Especially back then, a pizzeria was mainly a cash business. It was also not uncommon for it to be run by people of.....questionable....family backgrounds...

Which meant it was very hard for Uncle Sam to figure out how good a business you were running, and if you were giving him his cut, practicing fair labor, etc.

What the IRS figured out (or so he story went) was they could model your business pretty well based off how much of certain things you ordered. One of their favorite things to use for this was flour.

Why flour? Well cheese you aren't going to use a consistent amount sometimes on your pizzas. Maybe one guy goes heavy, one guy goes light. You switch vendors constantly as its prices bounces around. You use it for other stuff.

But flour, you use the exact amount each time you make a standard sized pizza, and the IRS knows what that is. It also has a long shelf life so you aren't accounting for spoilage and stuff, aside from the occasional we made too much dough that day, which isn't very common once you have your business going.

So basically they could look at the books, see how much flour you bought, figure out how many pizzas that means you made, and that would give them a good sense as to your volume of business.

Enter the Amish who could hook you up with flour uncle Sam didn't have tabs on.

The Hasidics factored in because of unpasturized milk. They would sell it out of ice cream trucks and stuff in Bensonhurst.

Interesting...

Yes, again, and this is all hearsay, but it ABSOLUTELY did happen in the late 90s....

The story i always heard was it started as a thing between the Amish and Hasidic (in my mind when 2 guys bumped into each other shopping for hats), but the conflicting days of the Sabbath made it a logistic hassle.

So the Italians got involved, and were paid in flour.
