I would like to see a breakdown beyond ‘raw milk products.
What percentage of these cases were the result of ‘queso fresco’, better known as ‘bathtub cheese’.
Regardless, it still doesn’t give the national government the right to tell me what I can eat or drink.
Sort of like the INS agents in Coneheads.
“If they ARE aliens, wouldn't that be under NASA?”
“If they are just visiting, but they moment they try to WORK HERE - they are MINE!”
Me too, CDC and FDA know how to present stats to show the results they wnat them to show. I would also like to see a comparison of raw milk related illnesses with overall food borne illnesses, which I imagine would show that “regulated” foods are responsible for the majority of food related illnesses.
I have also read how some food borne illnesses are tracked and the assumption is that if a person consumed any raw milk products that product must be responsible even if no pathogens have been directly traced to that source.
“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.
