Should milk be legalized? »

There was the name of a Web site scrawled on cardboard and quickly torn to bits by an anonymous farmer in the Greenmarket at Union Square. Then came the paperwork to protect the source of the illicit substance. Finally, Yaron Milgrom-Elcott received the monthly drop site: an address near Chelsea, open for two hours, show up or lose the white stuff.

Mr. Milgrom-Elcott doesn’t miss the drop. Each month, he joined mothers with newborns and Wall Street titans in search of unpasteurized, unhomogenized, raw milk. He is also part of a movement of people who will risk illness or even death to drink their milk the way people have for centuries.
