"Many small-farm families and health advocates are among those who drink raw, unpasteurized milk that is produced by the few cows on those small farms."
"Sickness from raw milk is virtually non-existent, yet our government agencies continue to hire more inspectors at taxpayer expense.

"My analysis shows that deaths from food borne illnesses are a very small percentage of overall mortality in the United States. During this period, of the 21.8 million deaths in the U.S., only 165 deaths were attributed to food borne illnesses, 0.00076 percent.
