Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hello, all. I was active on here for awhile, but have been dealing with multiple food allergies and having a really hard time maintaining raw. I am easing back in, with very limited food choices (I will post more about that later) I know to each his own, but I am wondering what everyones stance is on raw milk, butter, and cheese. I am talking about straight from a well cared for cow. Also, I am wondering if refrigerator pickles would still be considered raw-I bring the vinegar just to a boil, and let is cool before pouring over the cucumbers and spice-the jars dont feel hot to the touch, so while technically the vinegar is cooked (its not raw to begin with) but doesnt cook the pickles. Just wanting input. THanks Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I will chime in here. I will give my opinion from a former cow and goat milking woman. Raw milk was wonderful! My hair and complexion was never better. I felt better than when I was drinking store bought milk, cheese and butter. When we moved off our ranch and went back on store bought milk , it was like drinking watered down plastic. My animals were organic range fed along with whatever grains we mixed and hay during the winter. I am now a vegan, but if I had my own cow, goat and chickens , I would go back to vegetarian.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Well, I am not vegan, but am trying to get to 75-80% raw in my diet. I do use raw milk, butter and cheese when I use those products, but have found that since beginning to eat raw foods, I eat much less of them. I no longer eat bread, so I rarely eat butter, but do use it still sometimes. I use raw milk with raw granola, and cheese has always been my downfall, but now I use it only once or twice a week.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 " but I am wondering what everyones stance is on raw milk, butter, and cheese. I am talking about straight from a well cared for cow. " 99% of the leaders within the raw movement disagree about most but agree about 1 thing: No meat, No dairy---whether it's goat, " well cared for " , raw or what, it's still not meant for your body in nature and therefore unnatural. Most raw foodists therefore don't use them, but transitionally at best. My friend ate raw goat cheese but once a week, but when she quit is only when her hot flashes went away, as a 100% raw vegan, for many years.
