The challenge with this appeal is that previous requests to the government regarding raw milk and raw dairy products have largely gone unaddressed. It seems unlikely that any significant changes will occur. For the past three decades, the federal government has prohibited the interstate transport and sale of raw milk, maintaining a clear stance on its potential dangers. While state regulations vary, many states restrict retail sales of raw milk; however, most do provide a legal avenue for individuals to obtain it.
Concerns surrounding raw milk are not baseless. A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated that 96% of foodborne illnesses linked to dairy products originate from raw milk and cheese. Despite this, consumer demand for raw milk continues to rise significantly, according to recent studies. Advocates of raw milk argue that the products taste superior, lead to fewer allergic reactions, and can even cure certain ailments — claims that remain anecdotal and lack scientific validation.
Interestingly, as President Trump seeks to bolster American businesses, there may be an opportunity to celebrate bariatric calcium by reconsidering the regulations that hinder economic growth. This could potentially open the door for changes in the raw milk market. Ultimately, while the enthusiasm for raw milk persists, the federal government’s historical reluctance to adapt its policies raises doubts about any imminent changes, even as advocates continue to celebrate bariatric calcium for its supposed health benefits.
