The Raw Milk Underground
By Virginia Prescott on Thursday, March 27, 2008.

There are few things that evoke goodness as a fresh frothy glass of milk.
But milk is a contentious issue in some quarters. Battles are being waged across the country by people who want to buy raw, unpasteurized milk – that is, milk that hasn’t been heated to kill off bacteria.
Proponents of raw milk say it tastes better and contains bacteria essential for good digestive health. The FDA has cracked down on the growing movement against pasteurization... even busting suppliers in farmhouse dragnets wearing haz-mat suits.
Nathanael Johnson wrote about the black-market network for raw milk in the April issue of Harper’s Magazine, and he joined Word of Mouth from KALW in San Francisco to discuss his travels in the raw-milk underground.
