Exactly. No way you could ensure that a process that produced enough milk for our current needs would be healthy enough for everyone to drink.
Don't get me wrong, I am sure there are some farmers out there who get close, but I wouldn't be willing to risk my kids health on it. I do understand the argument about you need to be exposed to bacteria to develop a good immune system. Anyone who thinks kids don't get enough dirt / feces / urine / cup sharing bacteria goodness either doesn't have kids or lives with blinders on.
Kids put everything in their mouths by themselves, you don't need to be potentially putting unpasteurized cow crap in there as well.
