Day 31 The last frontier

Phase 2 flew by fast. We are now in the mindset that we can eat like this permanently. It doesn't even feel weird, or hard anymore. I don't even know what to write about!
The last frontier for us to conquer is the processed dairy. Basically any processed dairy is some of the worst food on the planet, vs. raw dairy, which is more like a superfood. The mainstream science and alternative holistic views agree on this point. The difference lays in that the mainstream doesn't bother to look to raw dairy, and just assumes any dairy is bad. Sure it's got calcium, but even mds agree that your body doesn't uptake it very well anyway.
We have been "buying" (sharing) raw milk for a couple years now. It's great to have and we drink it as our milk. But it's very expensive and we can't afford to make dairy products out of it, and don't really have a source of buying raw butter, yogurt, kefir, or cheese. So we have been consuming the regular stuff. And that's kind of still on the list of "never touch the stuff".
SO, we have to change that. It's more a matter of actually finding it and paying for it than trying to change, because it's not like it will taste weird or something.
Even at Meijers we can find some goat cheese, but even that is processed. By that it usually means pasturized. Which kills off everything good, changes the good fats to bad, and adds in a couple vitamins to make it marginally better. Kind of like when they stripped everything out of wheat, and then add a couple vitamins back in and call it "enriched"!!!! That is sooooo funny. I really truely hope that whoever came up with that marketing word got a HUGE bonus. Or award. Or peace prize.
Everything you need to know about "real" (raw) milk can be found at: www.realmilk.com. They have links to the Weston A. Price Foundation, who has done a lot of work on raw milk and healthy eating. Way back in the early 1900s. Imagine that...
