Anyone drinking the raw milk?

I haven’t consumed much raw milk, but I’m not afraid of it, as many Wisconsinites seem to be. Granted, I’m lactose intolerant, so it’s less of an issue for me. But enough about my lack of digestive enzymes – Wisconsin might be flowing with raw milk in the near future. From the AP:

  • A state-appointed committee will soon consider whether raw milk should be sold in Wisconsin, and if so, under what conditions.
  • Secretary Rod Nilsestuen, of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, says the group will consider the legal and regulatory affects and what conditions would be required to protect public health.

We’ve had a law since 1957 declaring that the milk we buy must be pasteurized. But modern milk processing is said to remove a whole lot of stuff that's beneficial to your health.
