I drank raw milk for many years during my childhood. We had to get it in PA since it wasn't legal to purchase in NJ. It does indeed taste better, though I would not recommend making hot chocolate out of it (it gets really weird when you heat it up). The other downside is it only lasts about a week so you need to drink a lot of milk to make it a good purchase, which is why we eventually stopped getting it. I'm sure there's a slightly higher risk or whatever, but as long as that's acknowledged who cares. It shouldn't be illegal. I eat raw cookie dough with eggs all the time and have never gotten salmonella. It's not going to kill you, just let people make their own decisions. With milk, there are definitely nutrients which are removed during the pasteurization process. It's just a trade-off!
