MIAMI – The raw milk trend is gaining momentum across South Florida and much of the country. It can be found at multiple Miami-Dade and Broward farmers markets, with signs clearly marking it’s not for human consumption due to state law .
However, that does not mean people aren’t drinking it by the half gallon and gallon.
“For me, it’s the taste,” Genevieve Lopez told CBS News Miami at one farmers market. “It’s the taste and how it makes me feel.”
At another farmers market, Jennifer Acosta had a similar thought.
“Yeah, it’s helping me a lot with brain fog,” she said. “I had a lot of issues with hormones and thyroid and ever since I started eating animal-based diet, especially raw milk, and raw dairy, I started helping me feel better.”
Angela Donisi just started drinking raw milk in recent weeks. CBS News Miami asked her what it tasted like.
“It’s delicious, actually,” Donisi said. “It tastes … it tastes pure and clean.”
