During my grade school years, I remember learning about the Industrial Revolution. The mass migration from rural areas to cities marked a significant shift in America, notably with challenges in sanitation due to dense living conditions. At the time it was believed that unpasteurized milk was contributing to illness amongst the population. The introduction of pasteurization of dairy products addressed this concern. Despite this historical lesson, my personal dietary choices in high school and a subsequent unique experience in a traditional German dairy farm provided contrasting perspectives.
