Yeah, the CDC misrepresents their statistics because the government wants to put all raw milk producers out of business by scaring the public with bogus information. Good grief, the CDC reports that unpasteurized milk is 150 times more likely to cause foodborne illness and results in 13 times more hospitalizations than illnesses involving pasteurized dairy products. You can mince words all you want, but that stat is pretty damning....and staggering.

Now, please explain to me where I am uninformed about the risks associated with raw milk. Like most of your fellow travelers in the church of raw milk, when it comes to understanding science, especially related to food, I find that raw milk proponents are among the most scientific illiterate out there. I blame willful ignorance in addition to a failing government system of education.

Prove me wrong, or run away. We know you can argue minutia, but do you have any legitimate knowledge? Or are you just for show?

I found this interesting...

I found some detail on infant immune system “startup” years ago, I’m looking around for it.

Who do you think sets the standards for raw milk production in states where it is legal? Those are scientist.

Those scientist say it’s safe.

The old CDC study you keep referring to has many flaws including not making their data sets available and cherry picking the years the study covers. However I never addressed that study to you. I simply pointed out that dairy, ALL dairy, is the least likely cause of food borne illness outbreaks, by far. (that’s from the CDC).

Raw milk dairy farms are nothing like conventional ones. Because the milk isn’t pasteurized the cows don’t stand in their own crap all day. The testing done is extensive.

Modern technology has allowed for us once again to safely consume raw milk without owning a cow.

I drink raw milk mostly because the taste is amazing.

If you wanted to be informed you might visit the website of the raw milk producer referred to in the posts above. (www.thefamilycow.com).

But since you keep posting uniformed nonsense and hysterics I suspect you wish to remain in blissful ignorance.

The fact is that any “raw” food must be handled carefully in order to avoid illness.

Now I’m off to make some fresh squeezed orange juice. It won’t be pasteurized like the stuff in the store but I like to live dangerously.
