For the raw milk enthusiasts, there was Making Their Case for Raw Milk, in Sunday’s New York Times.
The article notes that continuing and unwavering warnings from the FDA, its popularity continues to grow.
Connecticut is one of only a handful of states that leads the pack in raw milk sales, making it possible for anyone who sells pasteurized milk to also sell raw milk. And some 15 Connecticut dairies support the sale.
So have there been any reported illnesses or outbreaks? No. Interesting. But I’m still not convinced enough to start buying it for my family.
This blog, CurdNerds, makes an apt point…I’d like to see more coverage of raw milk as it relates to cheese. I’m definitely seeing more and more raw milk cheeses on the store shelves, including my chain grocers.
