Symposium Shows Raw Milk Debate Rages On

MADISON, Wis. — A bill that could legalize the sale of raw milk has not been set for a vote yet, but those in favor of raw milk production aren't standing still while they wait.

Both sides of the raw milk debate are very passionate, but supporters of the proposed bill gathered Saturday at the Monona Terrace for the 2nd Annual International Raw Milk Symposium said it's not just about raw milk, it's about freedom.

Mark McAfee produces 2,000 gallons of raw milk each day and sells it in 400 stores legally in California.

"It's a wonderful God-given product that's just unprocessed in whole form," said McAfee. "We test our raw milk like crazy. We believe in Mother Nature but we test and verify."
