Having had some experience in the medical fields of bacteriology and infectious diseases I wouldn’t touch unpasteurized dairy products with a ten foot pole.

Keep suckling from Monsanto's teat then.

Oh please. Monsanto has nothing to do with this.

And it is not Monsanto’s teat but the cow’s crap and piss covered teat that you should be worried about.

Here in PA, farmers, mostly they are Amish or Mennonites, can sell raw milk if they have a “State Certification” but that doesn’t stop people from getting very ill from drinking “State Certified” raw milk.

Recent illness outbreak from raw milk is Pennsylvania's most severe

Raw milk—another spectacularly bad idea

Don’t get me wrong, while I would not buy raw milk or cheese made from raw milk, I do sometimes buy veggies from the Amish farmer’s markets and from Mennonite farm stands, but then again as I see and smell how they fertilize their crops with cow manure, anything I buy gets the sh!t washed out of it, quite literally, with hot water and a mild bleach solution and even still I won’t eat those veggie’s raw.

FWIW, every day on my way to work, I drive by a Mennonite dairy farm that has its barn very close to the road. The cows are kept in a barn with a very small barn yard, no open pasture and the cows are walking and laying around in their own filth. It looks something like this:

And this:

This:

I don’t care how much this dairy farmer washes and sanitizes his cow’s udders before milking them, I would not buy raw milk from him unless I had a certain death wish, in fact I’m not so sure I’d want to buy even pasteurized milk from this farmer.

You're using the same demagogic tactics as the gun-grabbers. Don't you have some dead children you can trot out too?

I don’t think posting pics from a radical vegan site helps make your point.(tryvegan.com)

The article about the Family Cow outbreak you linked to describes the worst outbreak of food borne illness in PA history. Four dead and 650 ill. That was from green onions from Chiles.

So remember, stay away from green onions, that stuff could kill you!

Yeah, but how about from the farmer with 2-3 cows on 10 acres of grass that has a single milking stall and washes the cows’ udders with H2O2 before milking?
