I drink raw milk although it is not legal to sell or

give away raw milk where I live. I own 1/4 of a cow in

order to drink raw milk.

My interest in raw milk comes from my interest in

nutrition. As a result of that interest, I came to

understand that all foods, including milk, vary in

nutritional value. As Francis Pottenger, Jr.

demonstrated in his cat experiment, feeding cats a

completely raw diet, including raw milk, does not

guarantee good health for the cats. I have the book,

" Pottenger's Cats " as well as " Nutrition and Physical

Degeneration " by Weston Price.

In order to understand how agronomic factors affect

the nutritional value of food, I purchased four

volumes of " The Albrecht Papers " by Albrecht

and " Soil Grass and Cancer " by Andre Voisin. In order

to understand what was in these books, I purchased the

" Acres, U.S.A. Primer " as I have no background in

farming. To learn about pasture management, I

purchased " Grass Productivity " by Andre Voisin.

If we hope to get results comparable to what Weston

Price obtained in his experiments, in particular the

experiment on the 27 mission children, we will need to

produce food, including raw milk, with a similar

nutritional value to the food Price used in his

experiments. Agronomic methods have changed since then

with the object of increasing yield. Evidence from

what I have read suggests the increased yield has been

obtained at the expense of nutritional value.

As a result of the evidence that I have studied, I am

now more concerned with what isn't in our food, rather

than what is.
