Spread the Word
Have you heard misinformation about Raw Milk?  This latest article "Flawed Government Report Thwarts State Raw Milk Initiatives CDC Study Actually Shows Raw Milk a Very Safe Food" shows just what is at stake and what the data really says. 
Take a look and spread the word. 
    The Wisconsin Raw Milk Association is a grassroots group of farmers and consumers committed to changing the raw milk laws in Wisconsin.  
    The  WRMA is presently working to pass a law legalizing the sale of raw milk and raw milk products, while ensuring a safe supply. Current law only allows the on-farm sale of raw milk on an incidental basis.
    Regulators have increasingly been cracking down on any sale of raw milk, criminalizing and debilitating hard-working farmers and making it near impossible for consumers to eat the food of their choice.
Small Farms Increase Food Safety:   
    Small Dairy Farms pose less threat to public health because any potential illness only affects a small group.
    In Contrast, outbreaks from conventional dairy and other conventional farms tend to affect many more people and are much harder to trace to their source:
  • CDC data states the largest single food-borne illness outbreak was 1,644 illnesses resulting from the consumption of pasteurized milk.
Is Raw Milk Really Unsafe?
  • The Center for Disease Control reported in 2011 there were 48 million people sickened by food born illnesses each year.  
  • About 50 of these 48 million may have been caused by raw milk each year.
  • Sadly, 3,000 die each year from food born illnesses.
  • In a CDC study from 1998 - 2008, there were two deaths attributed to raw milk.
  • Based on this data, you are 35,000 times more likely to become sick from other foods than raw milk
“If people let the government decide what foods they eat… their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.”

— Thomas Jefferson
