The point is there are Food and Drug regulations for a reason. Milk is pasteurized for a reason, to kill harmful bacteria. And I'm guessing selling unpasteurized milk is against regulations in the US as it is in just about everywhere else.

And if pasteurization doesn't kill harmful bacteria, tons of men with guns CAN!

muzzleflash probably will kill the bacteria by flash-frying them

Ohh ok so I was mistaken, so they could get sick?

I don't know if I really care, but right now the war on drugs seems to be failing so why not start a war on food?

Also I'm sure that the animals need to be kept healthier for the unpasteurized stuff.

Pasteurization doesn't have anything to do with the health of the cow.  I would assume that a lot of unpasteurized milk still comes from cows that we shoot up with antibiotics and hormones.

Now, if someone is purchasing organic milk, the cow is supposed to be healthier and not given growth hormones, but I'm not sure what the status of antibiotic use is in most cases.  I suppose there are some antibiotic-free milk sources out there.

Of course, the primary problem with organic foods is that there is no government certification that something has met the standards that organic sources make claims to.  It's kind of like how bottled water is often little more than tap water from a given city (or excess water from a soda plant, like in the case of Dasani).

Antibiotics that are used to control bacterial infections in cows must be prescribed by a veterinarian. Milk for human consumption from any cow which has been treated with antibiotics is disposed of on the farm until the end of the required ‘milk withholding period’.

A hormone called bovine somatotrophin (BST) is used in some countries to increase milk production. BST is prohibited for use in Australia. The use of steroidal hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone for growth promotion is not permitted in dairy farming in Australia.

Regulations demand that animals are not given any antibiotics in the few weeks leading up to slaughter. This will help reduce the amount of antibiotic residue left behind in the meat.

Muzzle flash isn't nearly as impressive IRL as it is in vidya, I'm sorry.

Hormone and antibiotic free Milk and meat... come to Australia.

And as far as I'm aware there are government guidelines as to what constitutes "organic".

Well, I did some research.  It turns out I was wrong about certification here.  The USDA actually does have organic certification.  Apparently, it started back in 1990 here, so the information I had been aware of earlier was outdated by a considerable amount.

Also, apparently antibiotics are not used in several organic milks.  Stonyfield is one of the major suppliers that does not use antibiotics, and if I'm not mistaken, bovine growth hormones cannot be used in the production of organic dairy products per USDA regulations.

But most organic food on the market comes from China(well in the US at least). I saw it on Penn and tellers Bull shit, so it must be true.

I assume it was video tape from the stores video camera and not some stock footage added for effect ala M. Moore.
I couldn't see what he was pointing it at and why he felt the need to, so I can't second guess him.

They should have

1. Without prior warning - Thrown Grenades in the Children's bed room windows at dawn.
2. Shot the dogs and puppies that were penned up in kennels.
3. Rammed and collapsed the stairs and doorways with an Armored Fighting Vehicle to prevent escape.
4. Pumped High concentrations of extremely flammable teargas in watch it burn to the ground with the children they were "rescuing" still inside.
5. Then, like in any real crime scene investigation, Bring in a bulldozer and clear the site.

Too bad that those raw food nuts didn't rape children, fire on federal employees, or stockpile explosives.

Rape children and ATF responds - right lol

As long as it meets the same standards as we put forth here, I don't have a problem with that.

Granted, China isn't exactly known for its sanitation standards....
