Re- Legal Sale and Availability of Raw Milk ? Urgent

 

(Amendment to California Food and Ag. Code AB1735)

 

 

I would like to bring to your attention a very deliberate and

deceitful attempt by a yet to be determined party to effectively make

it illegal to sell raw milk in the State of California. This is a

back door, no discussion allowed attack on the longstanding freedom

preserved to consume live (raw) milk by the California Food and

Agriculture Code #35928.

 

I am personally writing to you because I feel I represent thousands of

your constituents that may be unaware of a significant threat to our

access to one of the most unique and healthy products that has been

sold and consumed for years without one problem.

 

Specifically, grass fed live (raw) milk provided by such producers as

Organic Pastures provide the pure and unadulterated nutrients that

have nourished countless of prior generations. Moreover, my very

healthy wife and very healthy three children have significantly

benefited from the nutrients only found available in these products.

 

I believe you are in a unique position to offer your support to a

product that not only has been consumed by tens of thousands of

California consumers over the years, but provides valuable income to

the retailers in the State of California. In fact, I would encourage

you to call your local Whole Foods and learn that they simply cannot

keep enough of Organic Pastures Raw Milk in stock (and it sell for $16

per gallon!!!).

 

Additionally, Organic Pastures should be a poster child for a

California company that is one of the few unsubsidized dairies in the

nation that has used the free market to offer a product that costs

200%-300% more than its competitors!

 

At its core, this is an issue of consumer choice and access to an

irreplaceable nutritional and living product.

 

If we can buy alcohol, cigarettes, and over the counter drugs with

simple disclaimers, why penalize an actual healthy product that has a

flawless retail track record?
