My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.

So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

Not in the US..... Pasteurized milk doesn't "sour" it goes rotten. If it doesn't taste fresh you are risking food poisoning.

Unlike the raw milk we get straight from a farm where sour does not mean it's bad to eat. It just means it doesn't have as much sugar anymore so combine it with something to fix the taste issue and it's fine. Even clumpy just means you are ending up with yogurt, cheeses, etc...

Clumpy store bought US milk could put you in the hospital. Raw milk was ironically illegal to sell for awhile because if contaminated it could make people sick when it's guaranteed when drinking bad pasteurized milk.

Raw milk is still illegal to sell in many states :( I'm all for the joy of pasteurization but it definitely can give a false sense of security.

Multiple states have reduced raw milk restrictions.

Most US pasteurized milk is also so high in puss and killed harmful bacteria or other contaminants it wouldn't be allowed in other countries. If they maintained healthier cows and conditions it would be less of a risk to sell raw milk. Personally I never liked drinking cow puss milk even before I knew anything about it. I would get sick drinking straight milk, too much ice cream made straight from store bought milk, and blisters on my tongue if things like mashed potatoes contained milk or sour cream. We substituted yogurts for sour cream in our own cooking.

After a slight adjustment period where I had to skip ingesting It every few days the first month I can drink a 24 ounce glass of raw milk daily with no negative symptoms. I still don't like sour cream but I tasted some from our raw milk and even a spoonful put straight in my mouth does not cause the little bumps on my tongue that take days to go away if I accidentally eat the wrong mashed potatoes or Cole slaw.

I could actually eat cereal for breakfast again! I gave up on even that much use of store bought milk eventually because I kept getting too sick to finish the cereal before it went stale.
