Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 I just heard the most amazing program on the SPROUTS program on KFAI Fresh Air 90.3 Minneapolis and 106.7 St . The program comes on every Friday from 6-6:30 pm and covers issues relating to healthy eating. I hope some of you heard the show. The topic tonight was: IS RAW DAIRY SAFE? and it explored what they called the " exploding market " for raw dairy. They started the show with some typical government and scientific hacks, one of whom said there has never been a scientific experiment showing pasteurization lowers the nutritional value of dairy. Ahem! You never heard of the Pottenger Study, you nit wit!!? The rest of their interviews consisted of them spewing out ancient facts about the " horrors " of drinking something so EVIL and so DANGEROUS. Anyway the show then interviewed farmers and customers in NY and Vermont who produce, sell and consume raw milk and one could really feel a loving connection with the farm, good food and health. People who had drank raw milk for over 3 decades without a single problem told how their health and their lives have changed since they went back to raw milk. Entire families have gone years without even a cold. The main part of the show focused on a show-down hearling in Colorado where the officials from the federal government and the local gendarmes were trying to shut down all raw milk sales including those from Guidestone Farms, a farm that has sold literally millions of gallons of raw milk without one incident of pathogens being found. The debate raged on and on with the health inspectors being interviewed in the hallways on break saying things like " we want all raw milk sales ended " and other biased positions. They sounded like the dried out Republican neo-cons we see and hear these days defending prisoner torture, envirionmental degradation, economic ruin and just about everything wretched. There was just about no way any farmer or milk customer could possibly have a ray of hope against these close-minded lackeys. Towards the end, the Guidestone farmer got up and explained how grass-fed cows move all the time, live outdoors and basically don't get the pathogenic germs that barn-bound cattle do. he explained how raw milk has been shown in scientific experiments to actually KILL introduced pathogens. He concluded by listing the several hundred thousand cases of food poisoning cases that have with pasteurized milk as opposed to the microscopically small incidence of sickness or contamination with raw milk. Finally, the board voted and the result was 5:3 in favor of allowing Guidestone to continue in their sales. It was amazing and the crowd burst into wild appause. A small victory for good food. The show is taped and transcripts may also be available. Contact either Fresh Air Radio or go directly to sproutsradio.org for more details.
