I’m not giving you health advice in any way, but as a friend, I want you to know: something sketchy has been going on regarding nearly every aspect of what the “experts” say about a healthy diet, including milk.

I’m certainly no dairy expert, but I am a concerned citizen passionate about becoming a more conscious consumer in this wild world where politicians, government bureaucrats, elites, and big corporations work together to make money with no regard for our actual well-being.

What caught my attention about the banning and demonization of raw milk across America was that it avoided the main problem (unsanitary conditions, rotting feed for the dairy cows that would result in harmful milk, and more), while also causing a new problem: stripping the drinking milk of nearly all nutritional value and health benefits.

Below are some resources that I suggest all students and concerned citizens aligned with Turning Point USA look into for their own good:

Step One: Listen to the episode “Why We Milk a Cow & Drink Raw Milk” on the Old Fashioned On Purpose podcast with Jill Winger.

Step Two: Get inspired by Ballerina Farm’s family milk cow. Hannah, her husband, and their seven children carry mason jars of maple syrup and cinnamon to the field, milk their dairy cow directly into the mason jar, and drink it right there on the spot.

Step Three: Get educated with a lesson on the Benefits of Raw Milk from Carnivore MD, one of my favorite health resources!

During such a chaotic time in our country, I truly believe the habits and decisions we make every day at home with our families are more and more powerful, especially regarding what we consume. Patriots should embrace raw milk.
