Dairy is good for you right?

When it comes to dairy we have all learned a few things over the years. Whether it is because we are allergic to it or because we think it is the ultimate health drink there are a few things we should know.

First: The Canadian goverment highly regulates the milk industry. That means that although most of us grew up on unpasteurized milk straight from the cow it is illegal to sell it here in Canada. Now, a farmer who owns the cow can drink it unpasteurized, but they cannot sell it to other people.

Personally, I think there is nothing like the sweet taste of fresh milk. We used to go straight to the farmer to get it and skim off the cream. As a family we drank a lot of it until the gov. shut him down (or better yet he refused to start pasteurizing his milk and closed up the farm), and had to go to milk. If you've never drank it then you don't know what your missing.

If you have, then you know what I'm talking about! Unfortunately there are so many chemicals and additives in dairy and cheese and cows that it makes it tough for me to believe all the hype any more.

The #1 Best Thing About Dairy

The one thing I love about dairy is that it can do so much for you. From Acidophillus to changing the taste of an entire meal, cheese can be what some can an "essential" to meals. It makes sauces, creams and dips. The best thing about this "Food Group" is the variety it offers.

Most of us eat it or drink it in cereal but there are no limits to where you can go with it!
