Raw Milk: Community Safety vs. Personal Freedom
This presentation will examine the arguments for and against legalizing the sale of raw milk and differentiate between the “real facts” and misinformation. It will review the current legal status of raw milk in the United States, the history of raw milk related outbreaks and a few cases involving victims of raw milk. The presentation will finish with a discussion of how a small coalition has helped to keep the sale of raw milk illegal in Iowa, and how reaching out to unlikely community partners can enhance your groups chances for success.

I heard this presentation at the Fall IEHA (Illinois) AEC. Good overview of the legal status of raw milk across the country and many excellent suggestions of how to handle legislators (can be used for all legislative issues and not just raw milk or EH).
