The milk is not the risk, the risk is how it is derived and processed, including feed, facilities,etc. This has been proven endlessly. Besides that most cultures fermented the milk into kefir, yogurt or clabber which is another level of insurance. Other cultures like the swiss made a lot of aged raw cheese and drank the milk in the summer. Raw is the new bogeyman. Anyway I have never been sick from raw milk and it’s no accident. I know my dairy and I know my system. I and others should not be denied access to any food because someone is scared people with compromised immune systems might get sick or they are just afraid to fight back.

I can get sick from many things but the law says that’s okay. Slap a warning on it, make it for sale to only 18 years old and above.

You know what, let the processors pay factory farms $1.50/gallon to pasteurize it. Most US milk and dairy is crap anyway, except those selling raw milk. I would not drink or eat any dairy from a farm that was pasteurized. Crap in = crap out.

Maybe instead of attacking raw milk drinkers and farms they should force all dairies to make high-quality milk that doesn’t need to be pasteurized instead of the swill they produce now. What they do to the cows to make them produce the high levels of milk that factory farms require to survive is disgusting. They should give the farm and animals to someone who cares, they don’t deserve it.
