If milk were sold which does for adults what fresh milk did for me as a
kid it would not be very popular. As for what extra good it would do
you, that can be a bit kill or cure. The upside of spending a lot of
time ill as a child is not getting ill very often at all as an adult -
if you live, but if you didn't drink fresh milk as a child it might
actually be more dangerous to start drinking it as an adult.

I'm not thinking of eating all my food uncooked either.

Most recently from Peckhams in Edinburgh. They had a supplier in Peebles
(IIRC. It was definitely south, so it could have been Simon's neck of the
woods) who produced milk from a single herd. It was lovely. That was a few
years ago, alas, and I can't recall the name.

I've not seen it in many other delis, and I hold out no hope for getting it
in Walsall, where I'm now resident, so I don't look.

Locharthur creamery (where they make organic cheese near here) sell
organic skimmed milk which is unhomogenised, and actually a lot more
like real milk than the so-called full-fat organic milk sold by
supermarkets. But it isn't anything like as good as the real thing.
