ewww, pus & blood in milk?
A friend of ours in WI says her brother is an organic dairy farmer and won't let his own kids drink the milk b/c of the pus and blood. I tried researching this but it seems ALL milk has some pus and blood in it? Anyone heard of this?
I am not planning on giving Cole Dairy products anyway so I am not worried for him, but I use Organic milk in my cereal. So grossed out!
Re: ewww, pus & blood in milk?
Wow, right now I'm feeling pretty good about being dairy free for a trial run. :-) Of course, I'm also chugging on a Pepsi, whose preservatives are probably way worse than pus and blood!
It does sound gross, but I'm guessing its just from the milking process. I know I've had trace amounts of blood in my breastmilk before from nipple abuse.
Even though it's organic, wouldn't it still come from a cow, and therefore have pus and blood in it? I thought organic just meant that they didn't use hormones/chemicals when feeding the cow.

I would hope so, that's why I am questioning why a dairy farmer wouldn't let his own kids drink the milk....
the only thing I can assume is that since Organic does not use antibiotics, the cows with infections are not treated so the pus gets in the milk.
Is it possible that he prefers it in raw form?
I don't like milk so this whole conversation has me a little gaggy. Ick. :-)
