Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The difference is that I don't believe the rest of us should be restrained for the lack of common sense from others.

But, the farms that I know selling the product (I look to in the near future) take care of their animals like their friend. When you suckled your mothers teat, was it pasteurized? No, it wasn't. You don't trust farmers? Well, I don't trust most people, whether they be doctors, lawyers, VETS, etc. A true farmer is going to have everyone's best interest in mind. When I sell my turnips, I want my customer to be happy. If they get sick, they are not happy. I know where all of my inputs come from, as opposed to other farmers. Yes, factory farmed milk is probably full of different harmful bacteria, virus, etc., but if the animal is allowed to live, rather than to just produce, they will produce a wholesome product.

Well, thats fine, and I'm sure the farmers do have the best interests of their customers in mind. However, how can you say that letting nature do its thing would prevent contamination of milk with pathogens? Nature gave us brucellosis, salmonella, syphilis, and HIV. Unless they culture all their milk, they simply don't know.
I think the problem is you all are speaking from a political/personal rights point of view, and I'm speaking from a scientific point of view. I know the science behind it, and that knowledge has shaped my opinion on regulations. That's not to say your opinion is wrong, of course, and we all have the right to have our own opinions.
I guess it would be different if you all were like those nutjob health food junkies that say pasteurized milk should be outlawed (which, of course, you are not!).
HOWEVER, I do feel it is unethical for people to feed others these raw products without full disclosure. I guess this depends on whether you believe there is an increased risk or not. The science is there, but I can't make anyone look at it.

Unfortunately the science is not there. These pathogens, yes, have been around for ever. But, the human gut can digest/destroy them in their most primitive form. Factory farming, however, has lead to the development of stronger, more resistant diseases, bacteria, etc. It has far more micro nutrients in it, than pasteurized milk does. None of the enzymes are destroyed, in the raw form. In the EU, raw milk is readily available, and there are no problems. Like I said before, was your mother's milk pasteurized when you were born?
Would I drink milk from a factory farm raw? As a form of suicide. But, the raw milk in question is not from those farms. Our farming practices are the issue here. We simply are so focused on production that quality is no longer an issue.

Don't forget the NY ban on public donations of food to homeless shelters run by the city.
Apparently Bloomberg's opinion is that starvation is preferable to being allowed to consume food with too many calories or some extra salt content.
But yet the New Yorkers keep on voting for him.......
