Oh the irony

Lawmakers sick after drinking unpasteurized milk to celebrate legalizing raw milk.

Selling unpasteurised milk for human consumption is illegal in Australia, yet that hasn't stopped plenty of people drinking it. They just refuse to ignore all the warnings.

Re: Oh the irony

I was brought up on a croft in the north east of Scotland. My mother milked the cow and we used the milk untreated. The milk was left to cool in basins. The cream was skimmed off for making butter. She also made her own cheese. I guess we were lucky not to have contracted something

I have drunk milk straight from the cow, Dawn was a Jersey house cow, goats milk straight from the goat also. Both owned by my friend. Guess I was lucky also.

Only ever had it once and spent the rest of our holiday on the loo or looking down it, never again I said.

Re: Oh the irony

When my children were small, we went on holiday to a farm at Freshwater in the Isle Of Wight. It was near a National Trust area where many species of wild flowers grew. We bought fresh milk from the farmer in a jug, it was so creamy and delicious. It didn't make us ill. I also bought eggs that the children had helped collect.

I live next door to a Dairy Farm Art and have had fresh milk many times straight from the udder along with pints of cream
with which I have made butter.

I do have a lot of allergies this wasn't one of them I am actually quite tolerant of dairy it's was IMO lack of hygiene caused my problem.

I won't survive one day though I have had to be hospitalised after allergic reactions enough to know one day something will get me, probably a wasp, I am very careful what I eat but can't predict them little boggers.

Re: Oh the irony

Is anyone else old enough to remember Bernard Miles? This kind of complaint against government interference in our use of 'natural' produce for reasons of health, always reminds me of his short, recorded homilies, much enjoyed on the wireless, before the invention of tv. The following was one such:
