Ron Paul vs. the FDA Raw Milk Police
Even if you don't care about milk because you don't drink it, you should care. At stake is the issue of consumer choice and food freedom ? something most people would agree is an absolute right.
Ron Paul (TX) introduced House Bill HR 1830: To authorize the interstate traffic of unpasteurized milk and milk products that are packaged for direct human consumption.
Milk that's cooked (pasteurized) and skimmed is not a whole food. The enzymes that your body would use to absorb nutrients and digest the milk are cooked out. You could live on nothing but grass fed whole raw milk but you couldn't do that with other types of milk.
Grain fed cows have different milk composition which binds its ability to protect itself. Grass-fed milk has natural antibiotic properties that help protect it (and those lucky enough to drink it) from pathogenic bacteria.
Barring the small percentage of folks allergic to all forms of the milk protein casein, you might be able to tolerate raw milk with its self-digesting food enzymes intact. Fermented dairy products may be better tolerated by some.

My daughter is studying to be a Vet at MD. Her major is animal sciences. She is actively involved with all the critters, including cattle at the university farm. One of the great loves that she and other MD students enjoy is the ice cream that is made at the dairy. By law they can't sell the ice cream to the general public, but can disperse it amongst the students. Let's stop this nanny state mentality that seems to be going around with this administration !!

my pleasure, Determinator! in 1971 they were still making things to last, so your yogurt maker is probably just fine, LOL!
