Comrade, we will tell you what is safe to eat, and you will like it.
The Alta Dena dairy in Southern California was fighting this battle when I lived there in the 80s.
But maybe you know that already, because one of its customers was Dr. Francis Pottenger.

We have had the same battle in WI.
Funny, we have states legalizing pot which is known to cause cancer but its “natural” so must be ok. But natural milk? Nope can’t have that!
“The distribution of raw milk has been banned in the U.S. since inception of the pasteurization laws in the 1920s”
Actually, the FDA ban only applies to interstate transportation of unpasteurized milk.
Interested in a study showing this.
While accurate, this statement can reasonably be considered an attempt to gloss over the truth of the history by implying that the health problems with raw milk were of the "tummy upset" variety.
In actual fact, raw milk was a major method of transmission of such lethal illnesses as tuberculosis, diphtheria, severe streptococcal infections, typhoid fever, and other foodborne illnesses.
Whether pasteurization is still necessary is perhaps open to debate, but let's not ignore its necessity 100 years ago.
I am all for raw milk to be available on the market.
But this is a piece of another bovine product propaganda piece.
Real milk from properly grazed specialized cows is amazingly good.
Oddly enough, they should ask those who produce raw milk to create their own industry inspection regime and standards, much stricter than for normal milk production. They would likely be thrilled and go to great lengths in exchange for conducting their business legally.
When such a situation is set up, the quality standards are sky-high, with zero tolerance for any member who doesn’t strictly follow the rules. So it works much better than government rules.
I don’t want to get into the argument on Raw vs. Pasteurized.
However, I’m old enough to remember back in the day when a great uncle of mine had a prize winning dairy in Dallas county. One of the great childhood memories I have is drinking a glass of milk that came right from the milking barn.
I still drink at least a gallon of milk a week, but the stuff we drink today for healthy reasons simply doesn’t have the flavor. It’s a shame that more folks never had the chance to savor raw milk.
I get my raw milk every 2 weeks from a dairy in Santa Fe, Texas. It is awesome. I wish all of you could taste the homemade butter and feel the wonderful effects of the milk. The cows milk is checked once a month by the state inspector. It has always had a more than good rating.
Raw milk is sooooooooooooo good. Love the stuff!
Opinion - Anybody who drinks skim, 1% or 2%, is drinking white water.
But their claim is in error, for it ignores the fundamental premise that certain natural laws of existence are applicable to all forms of life. For instance, the law of gravity affects cats and humans equally. And the same goes for certain physiological laws such as the necessity of raw protein for long term, disease-free health among mammals. Both cats and humans are mammals.No, that's not quite how biology works. But never mind that, let's instead have some facts about the Pottenger experiment.
