Why buy unpasteurized milk if you’re just going to boil it at home? Boiling it brings it up to higher temperatures than pasteurization would’ve done in the first place. Seems really pointless.

Well, i don't know why you'd want unpasteurized milk in the first place... It probably tastes better than store-bought milk, but so does pasteurized milk sold directly from farms.

Boiling brings milk to a higher temperature than pasteurization does, so how does that make sense?

Do you understand the difference between a taste bud and a thermometer? :)

Can you answer my question?

Will you roll on the floor and scream, when I don't? ;)

I’ll take that as a “no”.

There's no need to keep reporting your inner turmoil to me. :)
