FTCLDF was asked to participate in an important Politico article, "How Raw Milk Went from a Whole Foods Staple to a Conservative Signal," by Marc Novicoff.
FTCLDF member Esther Arkfeld was featured, along with FTCLDF Executive Director Alexia Kulwiec, and Sally Morrell from the Weston A. Price Foundation.
Novicoff analyzes the loosening of raw milk regulation as a new conservative movement against regulation, in part because of a growing distrust of government authorities. Yet the article describes changes in the attitude concerning raw milk both from Republicans and Democrats and recognizes the increased interest of consumers in raw milk as a healthy food with beneficial probiotics, enzymes, and vitamins.
The article addresses changes in several states that have made raw milk more available and in fact providing greater access to food freedom in general.
FTCLDF Executive Director Alexia Kulwiec said, "This is an important article in recognizing the desires of consumers to obtain healthy local food, and to retain the choice in the foods they consume.” |
