Most rational people know that drinking raw milk puts people at an elevated risk of salmonella, E. coli, campylobacter, listeria and even bird flu. But the US dangerously upside-down Department of Health has decided that raw milk is healthy, despite all scientific evidence to the contrary. Raw milk cheerleader and farmer Mark McAfee, who has netted more than $30 million last year from hawking the diseased milk, acknowledges the risk but is determined to press ahead anyway. “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital, and they have been sick, but they recovered. But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer." As a result, raw milk sales are skyrocketing among well-meaning but easily duped consumers.
