Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 This is one of my favorite food groups and I'm finding it very difficult to live without. Can anyone tell me where I can get raw cheese? Is that just different types of cheese? Is goat cheese and Feta raw cheese? Is there a raw cheder cheese? Are all cheeses raw unless you heat them? I think it just may be the cheese that I'm having trouble living without although milk would be nice too. What if I wanted to drink raw milk? Would I have to buy a cow or a goat? Could I keep a goat in my apartment without anyone finding out? Do any of you keep goats in your house? I would let my goat sleep in my bed, my wife wouldn't like it but really is a goat all that different from a dog? And dogs don't make milk and cheese they drool and slobber. Come to think of it dog's have been getting a free ride from us humans for years! Allright I'm going to go now before I start to ramble.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Hi Eric, Raw cheese is sold at my local health food store. It is NOT the same as regular cheese, check the labels and look for raw. Regular cheese is pasteurized (sp?) which is definitely heated. Most states have laws prohibiting the sale of raw dairy, including mine, so I don't know why raw cheese is allowed and the other dairy isn't. Some places get around this by labelling their dairy " for pet consumption only " . Such silliness that they must go through these hoops. I can't comment on living with goats!

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Eric, I hope I echo the thoughts of many in this forum when I say we are a broad church with no living saints in it. That said cheese gets a very bad press as does milk and anything associated with it. The general thesis is that milk belongs in babies of its own species. Dare I roll out the old chestnut about the calves that died when they were fed their own mother's milk pasturized. Cheese is fermented milk at its purest and there are lots of reasons to avoid it. The way to compensate is to make sure you are getting enough vegetable fat as found in say an avocado. Nuts are also a source of fats but care needs to be taken with these as cashew, Brazil and some others are heat treated to get them out of their shells. The test is to see whether they start to grow or sprout with humidity. However, there are those amongst us who steer away from nuts and seeds too. I enjoyed a phase of eating sprouted seeds but I seldom eat them now. In transition over to the raw diet it is normal to replace some of the enormous fat intake of a cooked diet with a compensatory amount of vegetable fat and then later reduce that intake. If you leaf through the archives of this forum you will find objective analysis on the points in this message. This is after all a talking shop - so air any queries you have on diet. Most of us once knew a lot less about eating raw than was good for our health Peter Cloningewe [Cloningewe] 20 February 2003 19:02 rawfood [Raw Food] Raw Dairy Food This is one of my favorite food groups and I'm finding it very difficult to live without.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Eric, >Is goat cheese and Feta raw cheese? No >Are all cheeses raw unless you heat them? All cheeses are NOT raw (unless labeled so) >What if I wanted to drink raw milk? > Would I have to buy a cow or a goat? Some say raw goat's milk is the closest to human milk. I know a woman who says she can keep her MS under control with raw goat's milk. Get in touch with a farmer. >Could I keep a goat in my apartment > without anyone finding out? Depends on how alert your neighbours are >Do any of you keep goats in your house? NO you can't keep goats in your house. Goats are not pets like dogs or cats. They need to have a shelter and a paddock. They also need to live in a pack and it would be cruelty to keep a single goat in a house. I take it you're joking? >I would > let my goat sleep in my bed, my wife wouldn't like it but really is a goat > all that different from a dog? A dog and a goat have about as much in common as a dog and a fish. And dogs don't make milk and cheese they > drool and slobber. Come to think of it dog's have been getting a free ride > from us humans for years! Uhm goats don't MAKE the cheese either... and female dogs sure milk, how come no-one ever tried that? You are right about the free ride though, aren't dogs smart?! I love my dog greetings Nanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
