THE RAW MILK REVOLUTION: BEHIND AMERICA’S EMERGING BATTLE OVER FOOD RIGHTS

Book ID/图书代码： 13566009B30710

English Summary/英文概要： How the fight over raw milk is changing the way Americans think about food-borne illness, chronic disease, and government regulation of what we eat and drink.
Beginning in 2006, the agriculture departments of several large states—with federal backing—launched a crackdown on small dairies producing raw milk. Replete with undercover agents, sting operations, surprise raids, questionable test-lab results, mysterious illnesses, propaganda blitzes, and grand jury investigations, the crackdown was designed to disrupt the supply of unpasteurized milk to growing legions of consumers demanding healthier and more flavorful food.
The Raw Milk Revolution takes readers behind the scenes of the government’s tough and occasionally brutal intimidation tactics, as seen through the eyes of milk producers, government regulators, scientists, prosecutors, and consumers. It is a disturbing story involving marginally legal police tactics and investigation techniques, with young children used as political pawns in a highly charged atmosphere of fear and retribution.
Are regulators’ claims that raw milk poses a public health threat legitimate? That turns out to be a matter of considerable debate. The Raw Milk Revolution reveals that the government’s campaign—ostensibly designed to protect consumers from pathogens like salmonella, E. coli 0157:H7, and listeria—was based in a number of cases on suspect laboratory findings and illnesses that could well have had other causes, including pasteurized milk.
