Protesters brought a cow to the Common on Monday, squeezed milk from her udder into glasses, and toasted the act and gulped it down in an act of raw protest.

The raw milk drink-in, organized by the Organic Consumers Association was held on Monday in an attempt to prove that a fresh glass of milk right from the cow’s udder will do your body even better than a glass of pasteurized, processed milk.

The purchase and consumption of raw milk isn’t illegal. However, the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources proposed a new set of regulations, including one that would make the transportation of raw milk through buying clubs illegal. The change would have affected four dairy farms involved with buying clubs, though on Monday, the MDAR pulled the proposed restrictions, explaining that "The passion and concern on all sides of the raw milk debate have led MDAR to plan for a broader look at issues associated with raw milk."

At the drink-in, raw connoisseurs mingled, sipping on their milk, offering flyers and milk to passersby. Afterwards, supporters moved to a legislative hearing to testify on making raw milk more accessible. The MDAR shelving the proposal didn’t stop supporters from testifying on behalf of the buying clubs.
