BARFBLOG: Raw milk sickens infant; lawsuit filed - (barfblog)

July 31, 2008 – 7:04 pm

It’s always the kids.
As a father with four daughters and a fifth on the way, I relate to the let’s not make kids sick aspect of raw milk.
Proponents of raw milk say that is just so much statistical shit, and that hardly anyone gets sick from raw milk.
Except it is entirely preventable, and well-meaning people get sucked in by nutritional gobbledygook.
Like Angela Pedersen, who says her almost one-year-old Larry contracted E. coli O157:H7 from raw milk she bought at the Herb Depot and Organic Market in Monett, Miss.
“It was a living hell. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone. I don’t know how many days I would look at my son and I didn’t know if he was going to take another breath.”
