For decades, government steered millions away from whole milk. Was that wrong?

FWIW milk in Germany is also often (most of the time?) homogenized. And it tastes differently depending on the "manufacturer" (the company, not the cows).

*Also PSA: Europe is many different countries, not a single one like the US. So it doesn't make much sense to say "in Europe", because there are huge differences between countries ;-)

To me the main difference is that in Europe it's possible to get unpasteurized milk whereas in the US it's hard to do so.

I am not talking about "H-Milch" in tetra paks :-)

Both Europe and the US are big places with lots of different rules. In the US roughly half the states ban raw milk sales, another 1/4 allow it to be sold on farms, and the final quarter let it be sold either in farmers markets, stores or both. California is on the less restrictive end -- there's a testing requirement and a warning display requirement but it can be sold anywhere.
