So what if it's not natural? Want to know what is? Feces, salmonella, and being torn apart by lions. Want to know what isn't? Plumbing, cooked food, and surviving cancer.
That's beside the point. I was made from a sperm and an ovum and I wasn't modified whatsoever. But when milk comes out of the cow it is not entirely safe to drink. So they pasteurize it.

I'm not arguing this. It isn't unnatural because it hasn't been changed. It's still milk, got that?
How about if we put it this way. Carrots. Everyone loves carrots, they come from the ground, bunnies eat them, people eat the, 100% natural right (assuming they are all organically farmed and all that shit). Some people might like eating carrots raw because that's exactly how them come out of the ground, 100% natural. But let's say I want to roast my carrots to have with my dinner. All I'm doing is heating them up, they are still 100% the same carrot, I haven't added or changed anything that's in it, only heated it up. So, what's the difference between heating up my carrot and heating up milk to make it safer to consume? It's still the same milk that came out of the cow, nothing was added or changed about the components.
Well humans arnt actually supposed to drink milk, cows have six stomachs so it's easier for them to digest it, us humans only have one stomach so it hurts our immune system.
Cows have 1 stomach split into 4 compartments. It does nothing different to their immune system, just makes it easier and more efficient for them to digest roughages, which does not include milk. The reason humans are not supposed to drink milk is because the enzyme lactase, that breaks down the lactose in milk, was originally only found in babies, who needed to drink their mothers' milk. People today who are not lactose intolerant actually were born with a mutation where their bodies keep producing lactase into adulthood.
Uhm, milk is a nutrition ONLY for new-born/baby mammals, not for adults, period. Grown up mammals (incl. humans) generally do not consume milk, many, incl. the majority of humans, cannot digest it properly. Europeans have developed sort of a lactose-tolerance over a couple centuries. But as white people of european origin rule the world, they call i.e. asians "lactose intolerant by a gene defect" which is pretty ironic. The dairy industry by the way is at least as fucked up as any other "industrial production" of food (the german word is "Lebensmittel" = means of living), so I suggest one should consider how much he needs and where one buys it. I am a moderate meat eater btw, and we try NOT to substitute meat for dairy products.
