It seems that most people here have easy access to raw milk. However, around my place, I haven't encountered any places where I can buy raw milk; even internet searches yield minimal results.
I first became accustomed to milk during my university days. Often, when there were evening classes, the canteens/cafeterias at my university were already closed. Eating outside the university could get expensive, so I often went to the nearby supermarket to buy a loaf of bread. Over time, I realized this was too many carbs, so I started looking for other options. Eventually, I began buying bunches of bananas for better nutrition. However, finding bananas at the correct level of ripeness for direct consumption was challenging; most of them were green and unripe.
Then, I stumbled upon packs of 1-liter UHT milk. I thought, why not give it a try? I discovered that milk is one of the most versatile foods. For example, if I drank milk in the early evening, I wouldn't feel hungry until late at night or even the next day. From that point on, milk became my go-to option for additional nutrition and even as a meal replacement. I would add a multivitamin tablet to make up for the nutrients lost during the UHT process.
I also found that pasteurized milk tastes much better than UHT milk, although it is more expensive and requires constant refrigeration. Pasteurized milk is only available in larger stores capable of maintaining 24/7 refrigeration.
I don't understand why some people try to create their own versatile foods, such as Soylent. Milk is already very capable of fulfilling that role.
