Why are people debating this? Do you own your body? If you say yes than arguments over. No one should have the power to dictate what you put in your body. Good, bad or deadly you take the risk. Live free or die!

That government food inspector - what a freaking bureaucratic moron. First of all she didn't even listen to the proponent's display of the data from the CDC. Then he repeats it to her face: out of all food born illnesses 0.005% stem from raw milk. The food inspector moron has the guts to reply to that fact "it is clear, raw milk is a very dangerous food." Is she for real? What a freaking idiot. If she's not sharp enough to read a graph, what is she doing there?

If we should have to say the potential risks of raw milk on the packaging, I would like to see the packaging on processed foods and fast foods to say " Highly likely to cause addiction, obesity, heart disease and diabetes." If we're playing fair here.

If you caught an infectious disease from drinking raw milk, and then someone caught it from you then that is taking other people's health into your own hands.

Ok, I own my body. Therefore I also should have the right to choose whether I... wear a seatbelt, drink and drive, use the crosswalk, obey road signs, heck I might as well skydive without a parachute. Sometimes laws implemented by "THE MAN" are there for a very real reason - human safety. I am a dairy farmer and the two weeks I spent on the toilet make me somewhat of an expert on the issue. Your motto may as well be Live Free AND Die because of it. WOHOO!!

Is there a conspiracy here?... Duh.
