Advocates of natural food contend that it is. As reported in the Orlando Sentinel, some users of raw milk apparently think thatit “contains beneficial microbes that treat everything from asthma to autism.”

However, the sale of raw milk is prohibited by law in 22 states, and the FDA prohibits cross-border sales from one state to another. According to John Sheehan, head of the FDA’s dairy office, "raw milk is an inherently dangerous product".

Nothing like the FDA overstepping its bounds and prohibiting interstate trade of a product in direct violation of the Constitution's Commerce Clause...and banning a product that is perfectly safe when obtained from a clean farm, not some filthy, greedy, money-grubbing industrial dairy where the cows are sick and their milk must be pasteurized in order for you not to get seriously ill. But aside from gestapo bans on safe foods, the FDA is nothing but a bunch of corrupt, paid-off puppets of the wealthy lobbyists who control today's food. The FDA should be disbanded and the corporate monsters who have taken control of food should be arrested and tried for their crimes.
