Udder Nonsense

( From Letters to the Editor, the Economist)

SIR – I totally support the raw-milk activists you reported on (The menace of moo-shine”, June 1st). Our government has bought in to a herd mentality on pasteurisation, a process that robs milk of most of its nutritional value and which primarily benefits supermarket chains by extending the shelf life of creamy stuff. Americans were drinking milk long before Louis Pasteur came along (did you know that he was French?)
The government can promote the benefits of pasteurised milk until the cows come home. They can’t butter me up. Long live the Alliance for Raw Milk internationale!
