170,000 Men, Women and Children consume raw milk on a daily basis in Wisconsin. One question for the pediatrician's, where are all the bodies? When I inquired about how many children have been admitted or treated for raw milk related illnesses at Children's Hospital in Milwaukee last week Friday the response was NONE! And when I asked why they were opposing the raw milk bill they started to scramble and really had no response after being trapped in repeating the lies of the Agricultural Industrial Complex.
If drinking raw milk is so dangerous, where are all the sick and dying people in Wisconsin from drinking all this raw milk ?
They do not exist. They only exist in the imagination of the fear mongering lobbyist and dairy industry corporations. They fear that people, voters, will choose the food they want for their families and many families will not choose pasteurized milk for their families. I know many people who choose not to drink pasteurized milk. Why are we denied this liberty by the influence of the lobbyists and dairy corporations?
In denying the citizen’s the right of food choice, the lobbyists, and their employers, become the sole beneficiaries of any milk sales in the state of Wisconsin. The Agricultural Industrial Complex has had a stranglehold monopoly on the Wisconsin dairy industry.
Family farms had almost been eradicated from the landscape across the dairy state creating a monopoly for the Agricultural Industrial Complex. All was well until a few brave farmers decided to share nutrient dense, grass fed, organic, farm fresh, unprocessed milk with the families of many people across the state who were looking for real food for the health of their families.
After the Wisconsin legislature passed the Raw Milk bill in 2010 (25-8 in the Senate, 60-30 in the Assembly) Shawn Pfaff was so motivated to prevent people from having the choice to chose the food they want to consume that he organize the delivery of 36 letters asking Governor Doyle to veto the Raw Milk bill. Shawn got 5 medical associations and 31 dairy industry associations to send letters to ask Governor Doyle to veto the Raw Milk Bill. Interestingly 21 of the 31 letters from the dairy industry associations urging the governor to veto the Raw Milk bill were exactly the same letter. How can 21 different organizations produce the exact same letter? The majority of these letters were dated either May 7th and 13th with a few dated April 26th.
We all know how this works. Somehow, some of Shawn’s contacts faxed a form letter written by someone else.
This year Shawn Pfaff has organized the Wisconsin Safe Milk Coalition, (slick name don’t you think) to opposed the Raw Milk Bill well before the legislators have an opportunity to ask their constituents their opinion of people having the right to chose the food they want for their families. I have heard this type of action being called short circuiting the process of democracy.
None of the families selling raw milk in Wisconsin want anyone to get sick from drinking raw milk. Some of these farms have been selling raw milk for over 15 years and no one has ever reported getting sick from consuming their raw milk. This demonstrates that raw milk can be safely produced by the farmers and consumed. Today there are 27 other states that have some form of legalize sale of raw milk across the country.
Now let us look at reality for a minute. 170,000 raw milk drinkers each consume 1 glass of milk each day in Wisconsin. That would be 62,050,000 glasses of raw milk consumed in Wisconsin annually. Over the course of the last 15 years that would be 930,750,000 glasses of raw milk consumed in the dairy state. Almost one billion glasses served and that is assuming everyone only drinks one glass a day. Where are all the bodies?
