eginning in 2006, he agriculure deparmens o several large saes—wih backing rom he U.S. Food and Drug Adminisraion—launched a major crackdown on small dairies producing raw milk. Replee wih undercover agens, sing operaions, surprise raids,quesionable es-lab resuls, myserious illnesses, propaganda blizes, and grand jury invesigaions, he crackdown was designed odisrup he supply o unpaseurized milk o growing legions o consumers demanding healhier and more avorul ood.

Are regulaors’ claims ha raw milk poses a public healh hrea legiimae? Ta urns ou o be a mater o considerable debae. In

assessing he hrea, Te Raw Milk Revolution reveals ha he governmen’s campaign, osensibly designed o proec consumers rompahogens like salmonella, E. coli 0157:H7, and liseria, was based in a number o cases on suspec laboraory ndings andillnesses atribued o raw milk ha could well have had oher causes, including, in some cases, paseurized milk.

Te Raw Milk Revolution akes readers behind he scenes o he governmen’s ough and occasionally brual inimidaion acics, asseen hrough he eyes o milk producers, governmen regulaors, scieniss, prosecuors, and consumers. David Gumper dares o ask

wheher regulaors have he public’s ineres in mind or he economic ineress o dairy conglomeraes. He assesses how he govern-men’s ani–raw-milk campaign s ino a roublesome patern o expanding governmen efors o saniize he ood supply—even inhe ace o ever-increasing raes o chronic disease like ashma, diabees, and allergies. Te Raw Milk Revolution provides an unsetling

view o he uure, in which nuriionally dense oods may be available largely hrough underground channels.
