Many of you know that raw milk is a whole different product from
pasteurized homogenized white liquid.
Many of your children do well on raw cow milk and could never do other
pasteurized/<WBR>homogenized dairy.
Organic Pastures has made it very simple for you to write to the lawmakers,
just click on this link and go to the links. They even give you sample
letters to copy and
paste.

Government Sneak Attack on California Raw Milk
No more raw milk after January 2008!
Come fight for your right to eat whole, unprocessed foods and raw milk
Eight words are threatening to change your life:
“or more than ten coliform bacteria per milliliter”
October 25, 2007
Government Sneak Attack on CA Raw Milk
This just in from Mark McAfee of Organic Pastures raw dairy outside of
Fresno...
The state of California has perpetrated yet another disturbing assault on
our rights to consume whole foods. Call your representative in the
California state assembly and senate, the governor, and the Secretary of
Agriculture to make sure your voice is heard.
Those are the eight words added to dairy legislation in California on
October 8, 2007.
Assembly Bill #1735 (AB 1735) was signed by the Governor and becomes law on
January 1st 2008. Contained in this law are new standards for raw milk.
These new standards require 10 coliform bacteria per ml or less. This
standard does not increase the safety of raw milk and it will make the
production of organic raw milk in California nearly impossible. Under the
old tried and true old standards that have been in existence for forty
years or more, coliforms could be 50 or 500. It did not matter.
Coliforms are not pathogenic. They do not cause disease. They actually act
very effectively to protect raw milk against pathogens like E. coli
0157:H7. Coliforms make vitamin K, B-1, B-2, B-6 and B-12 and without
coliforms, and the beneficial colicins they produce we would die. These
eight words in California law will in effect remove and deny your access to
raw milk, because it is not possible to reliably produce raw milk with
coliform levels at less than 10 per ml. Most milk samples simply have
coliform counts higher than 10 per ml. That is just the nature of milk, a
fact that is in USDA published peer reviewed journals show the value of
good coliforms in food safety and surely this should be known by the CDFA
in California.
Read these studies on our website.
The language contained in AB 1735 was placed there by CDFA to get rid of
Raw Milk in California. Last year you might remember that CDFA ordered a
recall of all OPDC raw milk products. Several months ago after threatened
legal pressure CDFA settled with OPDC for a cash amount, mutual legal
release, and the promise that OPDC would not sue CDFA or its personnel for
the biased and unfounded recall. FDA, DHS, and CDFA concluded after several
weeks of intensive testing of cows fresh manure and OPDC dairy products
that there was no connection between any sickened children and OPDC raw
dairy products.
AB 1735 is nothing more than a CDFA sneak attack trying its very hardest
to once and for all get rid of raw milk and OPDC.
But don’t take my word for it. Go to the California Assembly website and
check out the legislative notes. This attack was directed right at you and
me and we were not even consulted. Read more here about how to investigate
your legislator’s intentions.
Investigate their intent.
It is time for you to call your representative in the Assembly and Senate,
the Governor, and the Secretary of Agriculture to make sure your voice is
heard.
It is also time to write to your local paper and post on your blog how you
feel about these eight new words in California law.
Find out how.
The Agriculture Committee Staff claims that there was no argument or
discussion about this issue and that there was unanimous consent during the
vote when AB 1735 passed. There were supposedly public hearings held in
January 2007, but neither Claravale nor OPDC was advised and no raw milk
consumers were told either. These are the only two dairies in the state to
be effected by the change of code and law.
If you want raw milk on the shelf or at the farmers market in California;
it is time to fight for this right.
We ask that you please come to the Fresno Farmers Market on Saturday
October 27th at 11:00 AM for a press conference and formal announcement of
the sneak attack.
The press will be present and will want to hear your testimonials.
We do not loose are rights all in one day. We lose them little by little
every day.
Stand up and let’s show them what we brave raw milk consumers are made of
in California.
Learn how you can help.

You can't assume that someone else will take care of this.... Changes
require your support and voice.
I'm even considering going to Fresno on Sat for their press conference. You
can camp on the dairy land, they will be serving raw milk, cheese, and
butter to attendees.
Please take a moment to help, even if you are not a citizen or voter.......
Thanks Christina

absence of a coliform standard in bottled raw milk is a significant gap in
current regulatory food safety monitoring.
