Article about raw milk.

Well, I could easily refute much of that article. Especially the part about raw milk killing pathogens. It actually DOES.

What exactly are you getting at?

promotes the nutritional philosophies of a Canadian dentist

I thought he was from Cleveland?

Seemed pretty raw-milk-friendly, to me...

One of the members in my local WAPF chapter was interviewed for the article & said that the author was trying to get them to change the subtitle. The article is pretty even-handed. The subtitle is not.

[elelvee]

It isn't evenhanded. The tone is calmer, that's all.

[ccohenou]

Well, it does say several times and in several ways that pasteurized milk has more disease outbreaks associated with it, and that raw milk was indeed clean and free of pathogens and did kill pathogens, so...what more could one ask for?

Interesting... definitely one article I want to keep bookmarked. Not necessarily pro-raw milk, but not totally con either.

Yes...an interesting read. - - And I couldn't BELIEVE that about the farmer that was pulled over and had his raw milk seized!! Oh my GOSH!! How ridiculous can you get?!? Don't the cops have anything better to do than to harass innocent farmers??

I was in shock too... it was my raw milk source, on the way to my town. Very nice man/family. I think I just read that charges (if any) have yet to even be filed.

I liked the analogy of raw milk to sushi, and how when you think milk, you should think Exxon (because it's an industrial product like oil). And the sentence in the last paragraph was good:

"Meanwhile, the FDA has just announced that it's safe to eat meat and drink milk from cloned animals. In such an Orwellian universe, where raw milk from cows that have two biological parents is considered dangerous, while pasteurized milk from cloned cows is safe -- is it any wonder that a growing band of consumers don't trust FDA decisions?"
