0:00Something crazy about California is that

0:02you can just walk into a grocery store

0:04and buy raw, unpasteurized milk. Now, in

0:06most other states, it's not so easy.

0:08Some will only let raw milk be sold if

0:10it's labeled as pet food. In others, you

0:12have to buy it from a farm. But right

0:14now, there's a big push for raw milk

0:16with over 40 bills in 18 different

0:18states that would make it easier to buy

0:20and sell it. A House bill would allow

0:22the interstate sale of raw milk, which

0:24the FDA banned almost 40 years ago. Raw

0:26milk advocates had hoped that our health

0:28and human services secretary, Robert F.

0:31Kennedy Jr., would do more to promote

0:32raw milk, but so far he hasn't.

0:35>> It's regulated.

0:36>> It can't be circulated across

0:37>> some states allow it, some states do

0:39not. It's up to the state. It's not up

0:42to us.

0:42>> Well, you are the head of the health and

0:46human services.

0:47>> As you may know, raw milk has been

0:49linked to all sorts of harmful bacteria,

0:51viruses, and parasites. Those illnesses

0:54including liststeria, E.coli,

0:56Salmonella, tuberculosis, and bird flu

0:58have killed children, the elderly, and

1:00immunompromised people. But for as long

1:02as we've been promoting pasteurization,

1:04raw milk advocates have been fighting

1:06it. You may have seen wellness

1:07influencers on social media claim that

1:09raw milk is nature's superfood and that

1:12it can treat everything from asthma to

1:13allergies to eczema to ADHD. Public

1:16health organizations, including the FDA

1:18and the CDC, say those claims don't have

1:20strong scientific support. And besides

1:22the health claims, activists make the

1:24libertarian argument that they should

1:26have the freedom to make personal health

1:28decisions. There's also a business

1:29argument that raw milk can help keep

1:31small dairy farms from closing. So, even

1:33though I can buy raw milk at the store,

1:35should I? Let us know what you think in

1:37the comments and listen to our episode
