Some people have forgotten the diseases that were spread by unpasteurized milk.
True, but people should be allowed to make their own choices and the FDA should not be prosecuting farmers for it, especially when it is legal under state law.
They spend a lot of time and money persecuting small producers while all the serious cases of widespread food borne illness comes from big producers.
The USDA meat inspection progam is the number one roadblock in small producers being able to market locally raised meats sucessfully.
“Some people have forgotten the diseases that were spread by unpasteurized milk”
Yes, and those people should be able to buy it and drink it. They shouldn’t though, be able to sue the dairy farmer after they get sick from it
And those diseases where caused by the people handling the milk and not by the milk it’s self. The answer was instead of controlling the handling just keep doing what your doing and boil it, much cheaper that way, but the product loses it’s health value.
I won’t be drinking raw milk or eating tartare or sushi.
