I've been reading a bit on the pro's and cons of 'raw' milk and have decided that I'd give it a go post SHTF but I'd probably boil it first to reduce some of the bacteria that will be present in it.
At the moment it is illegal in the UK to buy it from a supermarket or shop but it is legal to buy it direct from the farmer.

Has anyone tried it?

I know some states in the US are already making it illegal to purchase from farmers, or anyone. There are supposed to be health benefits from drinking it before it's had all the goodness burnt out of it (pasturised) but then again there are also studies that come to the conclusion that milk is bad for you full stop. Humans are the only animal that drinks the milk of another animal, which evidently isn't natural.

If you want to try it I wouldn't wait til after TSHTF, I'd give it a go now, while there's still doctors to visit. Just in case
