Sara Burrows of Carolina Journal isn?t the only one paying attention to the fight over access to raw milk. TIME devotes a couple of pages to the topic in the latest issue:
[A]n increasing number of Americans have taken up the case of raw food. The category is not limited to milk. Similar debates have arisen regarding almonds, honey and other foods under FDA scrutiny. But none seem to have stirred the same anger as the one over raw milk. Supporters say they know the milk may contain pathogens; the most ardent say they welcome the bugs, many of which have peacefully resided in our guts for thousands of years. All agree that they should be able to drink raw milk if they want to.
Raw-milk advocates question why this age-old product is being so closely regulated while practices of vast feedlots and food processors are not.
