Raw Milk Debate is set to heat up

By Bill Marler, Esq.

Over the last years I have tried to bring some level of rationality to the debate over the consumption of raw milk.  I first published on my blog a summary of the findings of my review of peer-reviewed literature on the topic of the "pros" of the consumption of raw milk.

Here is the Weston Price Association's response - Response to Anti-Raw Milk Position Paper - by Bill Marler, JD - Prepared by the Weston A. Price Foundation.

I then posted about the "cons."  What about the 'cons?'  As I said, the overwhelming 'con' of drinking raw milk according to the literature relates to food safety hazards.

Here is the Weston Price Association's response - Response to Anti-Raw Milk Position Paper - by Bill Marler, JD - Prepared by the Weston A. Price Foundation.

True, given that I have represented many people, mainly children sickened with E. coli O157:H7 or adults with Campylobacter, who have suffered severe illness due to raw milk consumption, I may seem a bit biased against raw milk.  But, frankly, no more biased that I am against any producer of food - small or large - that poisons its customers.

I hope to have finished in the next week a rebuttal to both of the Weston Price Association's responses.  Let the Raw Milk debate continue - stay posted.
