Deborah Jones pours her two-year-old daughter a big glass of illegal raw milk.
She watches approvingly as Ella gulps down the drink, which is considered so dangerous it’s against the law to sell it.

But Jones says it’s a live, healthy product, far better for her family than the “dead, highly processed” pasteurized milk available in stores.
The Winterbourne mom can’t even digest pasteurized milk.
