Subject: Emergency Action Alert for Raw Milk - Wed and Thursday Jan
23 and 24
Dear Friends,
I just talked to Organic Pastures at 10:40 pm tonight (Wed Jan 23)
I was told that CDFA had a secret meeting this week, and apparently
did more illegal things
AD1604 is going into the Appropriations Committee tomorrow morning
between 11 am and 11:30 am. CDFA has vowed to kill the new Raw
Milk bill AB 1604 that we support at the Appropriations Committee
hearing.
Please respond to the Appropriations Committee as soon as possible:
1- we want them to pass AB1604
2- that we have been treated unfairly by AB1735 being passed and
AB1604 rights that injustice.
3- they are being watched
One of the key issues here is that natural unheated raw milk has
been accused of causing illness, when in fact it was milk and
cheese that were heated to 150 degrees (10 degrees below
pasteurization) and therefore could still be called "raw." We
prefer raw unheated healthful dairy that has been never been heated.
Thanks you,
Cathe'
