Then, guns drawn, four officers fanned out across Rawesome Foods in Venice. Skirting past the arugula and peering under crates of zucchini, they found the raid’s target inside a walk-in refrigerator: unmarked jugs of raw milk.
These figures mean that raw milk products are implicated in 92 illnesses per year, seven hospitalizations per year, and one death every nine years.
Between 1998 and 2005, there were over 10,000 documented outbreaks that contributed to 199,263 documented cases of foodborne illness. Raw milk was associated with 0.4% of these cases.
While some illnesses due to raw milk may go unreported, the same is true for pasteurized milk and all other foods. In fact the CDC estimates that 76 million cases of foodborne illness occur every year, over 99.9% of which go unreported.
Agencies that participated in the raid on Rawesome included the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, the California Department of Food and Agriculture, the FDA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Investigators confiscated the club's computer and 17 coolers packed with, among other things, 24 bottles of organic honey, 10 gallons of raw whole milk and two bottles of raw cane syrup. Stewart said the health department slapped a closure notice on the club's front door that said it was "operating a food facility without a valid public health permit."
Slavery has a new name: “Mandatory Service”, introduced July 15th 2010 by Charles Rangle.
H.R. 5741 will give the president the authority “To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other purposes.”
Thus, you are too god damn dumb to drink raw milk.

Negative.
The business is too dumb to realize that selling raw milk will get them raided for breaking the law.
Lol.
Nice try.

I'll see you in prison after you get arrested for not getting permission to breathe more than 10 breaths per minute.
If the State made a law saying your kid must be sacrificed to the Sun God, I'll be sure to vote guilty at your trial should I be a juror if you fail to comply.

Well then, thank god we have armed police that can protect me from the dangers of raw milk.
I might make the mistake of choosing to drink raw milk on my own.
This might endanger my future productive tax generation capacity for the State.
Heaven forbid I get sick from raw milk.
Think of the tax dollars the State would miss out on due to my illness.

I also love blaming the evil government for not allowing me to do things which are completely unnecessary and silly. For instance, why can't I toss fecal matter anywhere I wish? It's completely natural and helps fertilize soil. Surely the government thinks I am stupid for not allowing me to do this harmless activity...
Same logic.
