Be honest: do you know the difference between Pasturized and Homogenized?

I grew up on a small dairy farm. I buy my milk from a very small local farm, and I know the difference. I buy milk that is Pasturized but not homogenized. But I’m learning many folks don’t know the difference. Do You?

In their own ways, plants can see, smell, feel, hear, and know where they are in the world."
