I have long favored raw milk as a choice for adults, and adults who choose it for their children. It’s not, though, a food that’s ready for school children whose parents have not constented to its inclusion on a menu:
Laboratory test results show that the Campylobactor jejuni bacteria that caused diarrheal illness among 16 individuals who drank unpasteurized (raw) milk at a school event early this month in Raymond was the same bacteria strain found in unpasteurized milk produced at a local farm, according to officials from the Department of Health Services (DHS) and Western Racine County Health Department (WRCHD). A parent had supplied unpasteurized milk from the farm for the school event.
Unfortunately, an incident like this will be used to justify banning organic milk comprehensively and indiscriminately, even in America’s Dairyland.
