There’s a growing battle over the quality and healthfulness of our food, and whether the government is limiting Americans’ choices through regulation. One focus in the dispute is raw milk.

Based on what the CDC says about raw human milk, (https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/pdf/preparation-of-breast-milk_H.pdf) I’d love hearing from the raw milk proponent how it’s even feasible to sell raw cow’s milk in every grocery store if its shelf life is indeed as short as it is.
And I’d love hearing from the pasteurized-only proponent what makes the consumption of raw cow’s milk less safe than the consumption of stored, raw human milk, some of it rethawed after long-term freezing.

More importantly let the market decide. These state price control milk boards are ridiculous.
71 years ago I almost died from raw milk.
Great podcast. When I was a kid, (I’m pushing 76) my grandmother always had a couple of milk cows and sold milk that she bottled. People came to her door and bought from her. The second year my husband and I were married I took gallon jars to a local dairy which they filled from their milk tank. We worked on ranches most of the first 14 years we were married and had a milk cow at different times. We drank the raw milk and fed it to our young children. It never made any of us sick. I now work in the public schools and these kids are sick all of the time.
Pasteurized milk is not perfectly safe.
Outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes Infections Associated with Pasteurized Milk from a Local Dairy – Massachusetts, 2007
From CDC’s MMWR:
On November 27, 2007, a local health officer in central Massachusetts contacted the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) to report listeriosis in a man aged 87 years. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) performed on the patient’s Listeria monocytogenes isolate produced a pattern indistinguishable from that of isolates from three other cases identified in residents of central Massachusetts in June, October, and early November 2007. MDPH, in collaboration with local public health officials, conducted an investigation, which implicated pasteurized, flavored and nonflavored, fluid milk produced by a local dairy (dairy A) as the source of the outbreak. This report summarizes the results of that investigation. In all, five cases were identified, and three deaths occurred. This outbreak illustrates the potential for cont
