Merinoff recalls a time that she did the unthinkable: accidentally left a glass of raw milk out in her closet for four months.
“I left a glass of raw milk in my closet and I was like, oh, I’ll get to it… And then I became afraid of it and then I thought it was going to explode,” she said.
“I finally opened it with a cloth and it was clabbered cheese and I ate it…and it was delicious!”
According to Merinoff, if raw milk is left out, the bacteria will turn it into a cheese.
“Because you’re not killing the bacteria, the bacteria stays balanced,” Merinoff said. “This is why raw milk is safe because it’s balanced bacteria and they don’t allow the bad bacteria to grow and take control.”
Sally Fallon, the president of Weston A. Price, has been spreading the raw milk gospel for years, holding workshops that educate people on its alleged health benefits.
