Raw Milk Needs You Like Never Before on April 15th
It is now official. Senator Dean Florez and Senator Abel Maldonado
will hold joint hearings on raw milk in California.
Representing the CDFA and the FDA will be the chief of FDA dairy
safety, John Sheehan, along with eight other university food safety experts.
Protecting our right to drink raw milk will be a very special Raw
Milk Dream Team. These experts include Sally Fallon, Jordan Rubin,
Ted Beals, MD., Cat Berge DVM PhD, and more to come in the next two
weeks. Also joining us are powerful advocates like Walter Robb,
president of Wholefoods. Together, we will argue that the raw milk
industry in California has a long history of safety; that raw milk
provides excellent nutrition; and consuming raw milk is a matter of
personal choice.
We expect a history-making showdown that will significantly impact
the destiny of our food choices. These hearings will send a message
to our government that living and whole, unprocessed foods are a
boon to health, and are an important consumer choice.
All Raw Milk lovers should plan to attend this landmark hearing!
Please bear in mind that this is an official hearing, and every
participant is entitled to deliver his/her testimony in a respectful
fashion.
So let's pack the hearing room with respectful yet passionate raw
milk fans. Wear your favorite Raw Milk Tee Shirt and grab one of
our "I Love Raw Milk" buttons at the pre-rally.
