A war. . .over milk?

The Government has published a "Dangers of Raw Milk" type of report written by some propaganda spewing kook. They are also handing it out in bulk, It sounds like to public health workers and to others.

Why this war on a wholesome, ancient food source? Don't you wonder?

We don't have a war on selling uncooked produce or meats or eggs?

Just why are they attacking dairy so hard? Dairy, whether raw or pasteurized, if one of the safer foods a person can consume. That is what is really established.

The government peon writing the article states: "Pasteurization is the only way to ensure that fluid milk products do not contain harmful bacteria. "

Funny he says that since Pasteurized milk and products have been liked to more than a few cases  serious illness and death  - from the government's OWN DATA:

"1945—1,492 cases for the year in the US
1945—1 outbreak, 300 cases in Phoenix, Arizona.

Interesting.

Tell me again, Government yahoo, how raw milk is what isn't safe?

Further, the data they have on raw milk, which has been proven to be "cherry picked" in depth, claims states that allow raw milk sales have double the raw milk illness, though the milk being legal in the state has NOTHING, as we know, to do with the raw milk consumption number as people go EN MASSE across state lines and buy the milk and buy it, disregarding the laws in their state, all of the time.
