Why not just buy homoginized milk?

Please understand, I'm totally with you. No snark or judgment here. But--this is a great example of why people make fun of us.

40 something. I grew up in a small town in a dairy state.

I remember it from childhood; that's what most people got. (It was delivered daily by the milkman, dropped in the metal box on the porch.) Homogenization was still a kind of new thing--the milk at the grocery store was homogenized, but who got milk at the grocery store? That was an expensive city thing, and inconvenient because then you had to carry it home.


How old are you ?

I love it, kid won't drink milk "with chunks." I use the cream on top in coffee.

My husband loves it. I think it's gross.

When my now-retired parents were remarking on our CSA, farm-market shopping ways, I got a kick out of telling them about South Mountain Creamery. "You won't believe what they have now--you can get milk and dairy products delivered straight from the dairy to your door! You leave a cooler in the carport and they drop it off for you; you just give them back the empties next to the cooler." They of course remember this well, but they didn't think I remembered it too.

The Amish farmer at my farmer's market sells it and told me that he either shakes it up (yes, globs likely), or skims the cream for use in coffee, cooking, etc. and the milk left behind is still richer tasting than skim, but w/o the sat fat of 1% or 2%. I never developed a taste for it & couldn't get past the idea of the chunks in my glass.

Non-homogenized. I don't know why anyone would prefer it, although I would be happy to be educated. Maybe homogenization is supposed to break down some proteins...? Anyone? It's a pain in the ass, cause you shake it up, but inevitably you get some big cheesy bites of cream in it, and then you're basically left with skim milk.

What is it and is it better for a toddler than regular milk? Thanks!
