Banning something, aggressively enforcing the ban, normalizing the ban - and then claiming “nobody wants it” does not make for valid statistics.

The statistics are what they are; I got those from the CDC. This article about consumption of raw milk explains the issue a little more clearly. Ironically, the majority of comments after the article are people who feel that anecdotal experience=scientific evidence.

I have no issue with people who are fully informed and understand both that there are risks and that there are no magical properties of raw milk, and choose to drink it anyway. My big issue is with the people who base their decision to drink raw milk on the mysticism surrounding it, none of which is supported by scientific evidence. Real people get sick and even die because they believe that raw milk is magical.
