Did you know that raw milk has been a food staple in many cultures for centuries? Sometimes it is hard to to remember a time when raw milk was one of the hero ingredients in so many dishes around the world.

As governments put increasing restrictions on the sale of raw milk, many traditional milk dishes are starting to disappear or being relaced by products made from 'safe' milk, devoid of any beneficial bacteria with taste and texture barely resembling their ancient recipes.

Most kids are nowadays more used to the taste of milk which has been transported all around the country, separated, heat-treated, homogenised, skimmed, sugared, vitamin fortified and filled with artifical flavours than a glass of fresh raw buttermilk, left over from homemade butter making.

Supermarket yoghurt will never be the same as homemade raw milk yoghurt. When was the last time you ate traditional Quark? Or raw milk cheese, matured in French caves?

Let's try to keep the ancient, exciting, adventurous and delicious traditions of raw milk crafting alive in our collective memory. Let's talk about it, try our hands at making some Russian raw milk cheese which we can't pronounce properly, or try local, strange looking specialties made from raw milk when travelling overseas.

Raw Milk is awsome, fun, delicious and safe when you follow common hygiene and food safety rules!

Below are some inspirations from Poland (followed by the Ministry of Primary Industries's safety warning, which we have to mention everytime we praise or sell raw milk): culture.pl...

MPI Warning: 'Raw milk may contain Microorganisms that can cause serious illness. To reduce the risk of illness, the raw milk should be heated to at least 70 degrees celcius for at least one minute. This is critical for infants, young children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.'

Chlorination of the Richmond water supply may work out cheaper than keeping it free of the chemical, according to Tasman District Council.

A report states that "chlorination of the Richmond water supply is an effective way to prevent re-contamination of the network. Turning the supply on and off results in significant staff and contractor costs and resourcing issues".

What do you think? Is this an effective way to manage water contamination risks?

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.
