RFK Jr. Wants Raw Milk Producer Fighting Bird Flu Propaganda to Lead US Raw Milk Policy

Previously: Raw Milk Products Banned Over Bird Flu, Producer Says It’s a Political Witch Hunt

Well, this would be a good turn of events.

If any of this stuff with RFK is actually going to happen, I support all of it.

I’m skeptical it’s actually going to happen, but insofar as it will happen, I support it.

The Guardian:

Mark McAfee, a California raw milk producer whose products have been recalled several times recently due to bird flu contamination, said he has been approached by Robert F Kennedy Jr’s team to guide the upcoming administration on raw milk policy.

McAfee, whose dairy products were recalled after state officials detected bird flu virus in milk samples, said that the transition team for Kennedy, the nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, asked him to apply for a position advising on raw milk policy and standards development. The idea, he told the Guardian, would be to create a “raw milk ordinance”, mirroring the existing federal “standard milk ordinance”.

Kennedy is a notable fan of raw, or unpasteurized, milk, including McAfee’s products. If confirmed, he has said, he would work to remove restrictions on raw milk, which the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have so far advised against consuming.

Kennedy’s team did not respond immediately to the Guardian’s request for comment.

McAfee’s Raw Farm in Fresno supplies raw milk and milk products to grocery stories across California, and has the unique distinction of supplying the kefir used in the smoothies at Los Angeles’s celebrity-approved Erewhon market.

Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy’s running mate when he ran against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, interviewed McAfee for a documentary about raw milk released earlier this year. She told McAfee that Kennedy was a fan, and drinks his milk when he is home in Malibu. In a post on X in October, Kennedy said that with Trump in office, the FDA’s “war on public health” would end, as would its “aggressive suppression” of raw milk.

Raw milk is the only safe milk. Pasteurized milk causes all kinds of health problems. It’s the opposite of raw milk.

Most people have never had raw milk. At least most Americans.

Americans will drink chemical sludge because the Chosen Ones told them to.
