The Raw Milk Debate: Don't Have a Cow - Food - The Atlantic

Most people probably haven't heard much about the debate surrounding raw milk, but it is an interesting one that pits those who think the less-refined a product is the better it is, and those who advocate a safety-first mindset. I would be curious to try raw milk (unhomogenized, unpasteurized), but it is illegal in Maryland in any form. I'd have to go to Pennsylvania to get it, if I even knew where, and the key issue is to find a supplier you trust. The modern market-place is founded on the principle that we don't have to know the producer of individual agricultural products well enough to establish trust -- we've replaced it for the sake of economy and scale with a regulatory system overseen by the USDA and FDA.
