We’re a dairy state that calls itself America’s Dairyland while banning sales of natural, unpasteurized milk to adults. This ban, and ones like it across America, are harder to justify each day. See, Advocates Say Raw Milk Is Worth The Risk: NPR.
Even an critic of raw milk consumption, like FDA bureaucrat David Acheson would support raw milk sales:
Even though he wouldn’t drink it himself, Acheson says that a total ban on raw milk is impractical, and only drives Reitzig [a milk drinker] and others like her underground.
“I think there’s an assumption [on regulators’ part] that people who drink more raw milk are stupid. No they’re smart. I believe that the vast majority of them know what they’re doing,” he says.
They make a risk-benefit calculation, which many of us do when it comes to smoking or driving without a seatbelt.
