Thanks for your opinion. I think, if you're looking for credible sources, that you keep looking for yourself. I suspect you'll find them. ;)

The thing here is that, depending on whose opinion or theory is being touted, you'll find people who espouse veganism, vegetarianism, macrobiotics, paleo diets, completely raw food, only this, only that, no dairy, etc.

Even more so, you'll find people who spend their time posting on boards and blogs (like this one) about their favorite, and it seems, always with the opinion that everyone else is doing it wrong and that that only is the reason why [fill in the blank].

People are searching for what fits for them.

Heck, I got chewed our for what brand of knives I bought. Quite aggressive, that poster. Phew. But I love the knives.

I know this might be hugely unpopular on this board. But it makes no sense to me why we humans drink milk from a cow. Surely cavemen did not do this therefore we would not have adapted it. Also I don't think you can find one credible source that will tell you that the nutrition content from pasteurized milk is significantly different than that of raw milk. I'm all for organic and sustainable living, but just as the argument here is that cows weren't meant to eat grain or corn. Well I would say that humans weren't meant to drink cow's milk. There is a reason americans are fat and sick. Our diets our horrible, even when we think we are eating good food, we usually aren't.

I am so sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I am the owner's daughter of Sea Island Jerseys in Charleston. And, yes, we did have a shortage for the fall and winter months, but we're starting to have calves born like crazy right now and have plenty of milk. The Glass Onion on Highway 17 in West Ashley should have plenty, as well as I'On Health in Mount Pleasant.

Hi Meredith,
I'm still waiting to hear back from the woman Erin who commented above. Sea Island Jerseys is fantastic and will be available at the Charleston farmers markets, but she is down without supply for about 4 months in the winter….

Darn. Let's give her a bit to see if she returns, then.

Hi DIane!
Your so nice to post this, but I've exhausted these options. Geers sell Milky Way Farms milk. The Sea Island Jerseys milk is wonderful and I've bought it whenever possible at the farmers market. But its a small operation and she has been completely out of milk for several months.

Allison, while you're waiting for Erin to respond, you might take a look at the RealMilk.com website (created by the Weston A. Price Foundation) for providers in South Carolina. I see a couple in Charleston that might work for you --- and perhaps Erin is one of them: http://realmilk.com/where08.html#sc
