Safety of raw milk, a conservative food fav, is center stage in Trump's 'Make America Healthy Again'
President-elect Donald Trump campaigned in part on the promise to "Make America Healthy Again."
That pledge, initiated by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,Trump's nominee to run the Department of Health and Human Services, attracted voters engaged in a growing national battle over our food. They claim the government is making it hard to buy food thatβs safer and more nutritious while force-feeding us a diet thatβs unhealthy and causing chronic diseases.
One flashpoint in the debate is unpasteurized or raw milk, which is growing in popularity, particularly among conservatives. The government and some consumer advocates say the milk can cause serious illness and should be avoided. But raw milk advocates say it has scientifically proven benefits.
