Why would this happen.. we only just campaigned for the legal sales of raw milk?!

These people want to find out empirically why a lot of the rules existed in the first place

Tell people not to drink raw milk, and Republicans will start drinking raw milk. They're trying to catch bird flu.

"Raw Farm was linked to a multistate outbreak of E. coli in raw Cheddar cheese earlier this year, and in 2023, recalls of raw Cheddar cheese for salmonella and raw milk for campylobacter. Under a previous name, Organic Pastures Dairy Company, the farm was implicated in E. coli outbreaks that occurred in 2016, 2011 and 2006, as well as multiple recalls when salmonella, campylobacter and listeria had been found in their products."

“Pathogens are entirely natural,” [CEO of Raw Farm] said, adding that “our consumers are seeking to rebuild that relationship with the farm and the bugs that naturally live there.” He also said that the company’s products are labeled with warnings that they may contain disease-causing microbes, as required by state law.

I’m sympathetic towards children who are given raw milk by their parents, and other situations where the person who drinks it doesn’t understand the risk involved. I have no sympathy whatsoever for people who knowingly buy and drink this crap.

I wonder if they can get sued for false claims. They claim to test every batch before bottling. And although there's a warning, their claims imply that the milk is free of pathogens.
