Raw Milk Is Giving People Campylobacter On Colorado's Western Slope

Raw milk has struck again, this time in western Colorado where at several people are suffering campylobacter poisoning. The Kinikin Corner Dairy in Montrose, CO has been ordered to cease and desist from distributing raw milk to the public, including its so-called "shareholders."

Raw milk traced to Kinikin, where the poison-producing cows come with cute little names, has made at least eight people sick, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

The state says 10 of the 11 confirmed cases of campylobacter since March 30th are linked to drinking raw milk, and eight of those have admitted their raw milk pusher is the Kinikin Dairy.

The diary was order to stop sales late yesterday afternoon.

Campylobacter is often spread through cow feces and if contaminated fecal matter gets into water or milk, humans can get sick.

The Montrose dairy farm gives all the details of how it gets around those little legal prohibitions against selling raw milk to the public on its website here.

Bill Marler (the author of this little "article") has obvious ulterior motives in his opinion of raw milk because his law business involves itself solely in such cases. He, like he thinks all raw milk must be, is full of shit.

This person is clueless. Raw Milk is where it is at. The poison is the stuff they sell in stores. Kinikin is a great farm with really good people. The owner is one of the kindest men I have ever known. This ambulance chaser garbage should be taken off the net.

I don't use this farm, but the way the article was written; it almosts sounds like a sneaky child posed as an adult because someone stole his bike! Raw milk is nature's best! That store-bought, commercially "produced" slop is far more dangerous!

Don't forget how many people get sick from drinking "pasturized milk" It's a far higher number than those getting sick from raw milk!!

Anyone coming accross this, forget it. Raw milk is a very healthy way to go. Tip for readers, add some of your favorite sweetener and a couple drops of pure vanilla extract to a cold glass of RAW milk, and enjoy :)

The comments above indicate what sane people are up against here: a bonafide food fetish based on flawed reasoning and emotion that would be funny if it didn't have such consequences. What ranters!

Thank you to all the dairy farmers who continue to heat milk mildly for a few seconds to kill pathogens. So that I can then turn that milk into excellent cheese, without fearing that my customers will get sick, die, or suffer lifelong health problems!

If you're willing to listen to the irrational for your food safety, don't come crying to me when you want someone else to pay for your health problems or insurance.
