  1. Store bought milk is just empty calories, I’ve drank raw milk my whole life and I’m 68 years old. I can go on and on about what a waste of time drinking store bought milk is ! People are so worried about raw milk being dirty, what they should be worried about is public water, you talk about dirty ! Funny nobody ever talks about that.
