“CDC: Raw Milk Much More Likely to Cause Illness”
“More likely” isn’t much of a scientific explanation.
Can’t stick much scientific proof and backing numbers, in a headline.
“Regardless, it still doesn’t give the national government the right to tell me what I can eat or drink.”
Agreed. Of course, the next pathetic argument we hear from the libtards is the cost of treating those made ill contributes to increased health care costs.
Response? Get the damn government out of health care, too. There is simply NO Constitutional mandate for the Feds to be involved in either the dairy industry OR the health care industry.
Absolutely agree, with the proviso that when someone gets sick from drinking unpasteurized milk, the rest of us don’t have to pay their hospital bills (i.e., get the government out of the medical care business).
We used to milk and I drank raw milk every day while growing up. So did my grandparents, the youngest died at 93, the oldest 104. Eating or drinking home raised food doesn’t scare me much. We never had a choice, made our own butter from it too.
Pasteurized milk 150 times more contaminated with blood, pus and feces than fresh milk

True, but they are shutting down a business on “more likely.”
The CDC isn’t shutting anything down. The CDC does not have an enforcement arm. They are involved in pure science.
I don’t drink much, if any, milk. When I do, it’s usually “super pasteurized” because it lasts longer in the fridge as I use so little of it. So I don’t really have a dog in this fight.
But my primary question is: Where in the U.S. Constitution does it give the federal government the right to “regulate” or proscribe any food, drug or other products? Or create any agencies which do that?
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” — Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution
Yeah, thanks for the info, CDC. But you STILL don't have the legitimate power to stop people from doing it.
