Gov’t should say out of this.

That being said anyone drinking unpasteurized milk is a fool.
35 people in 4 states got sick last week from milk from a farm in PA.

Unpasteurized milk you get the germs for free.I value my kidney’s I guess.

That would pretty much be every human being that ever lived prior to the year 1800.

No, anyone that says there is no God is a fool .. but I'll let you have your statement.

I looked that statement up and found a part of what may have been the problem is something called "Campylobacter", a bacterial infection that may result in diarhea, stomach pain and fever.

The article you cited added the word " Campylobacter" only because it is first cousin to salmonella.

I'm generally too laxzy (I think I'll let that typo stand ... I think it is more descriptive ..) to bullet point what I read, but if one searches the word, you may come to the conclusion that Campylobacter might be something to be concerned about.

More than one article states the problem may be prevented by washing your hands.

Campylobacter ... seems no more harmful that the flu that may kill you, a broken bone, not/or improperly set could cripple you and/or not brushing your teeth might cause your teeth to fall out.

I was raised on raw milk and butter, I’m 57.
But it was my aunt’s cow’s milk and butter, not bought.
Soon, the Feds will put a stop to that, even.

Obama Edict # 53958.197:

No person residing within the United States may consume raw milk or milk products from any source.

Thank-God no one’s ever gotten sick from a restaurant salad bar or tainted meat from a USDA inspected facility...

More people died in auto accidents last week, but you won't see anyone harping on that.

>That being said anyone drinking unpasteurized milk is a fool.

Interestingly, my great-grandfather was a milkman before and after the pasteurization of milk came to America; he noted that there was an increase in the sickness rates AND lactose-intolerance after the switch. Furthermore, I have a friend who is a missionary now, but before he went to the field he went to Mongolia where they did not pasteurize their milk (mostly horse) and he did not have any problem at all with it... despite being acutely lactose-intolerant.
