The raw milk people are hilarious. All you have to do is meet one (1) cow and smell the situation in which they are producing that rawness and you will pasteurize everything you own for a week
I see people say "the problem is factory farming, not raw milk. you have to get it from small family dairies". As someone involved in farm animal rescue who grew up in rural dairy country in Vermont: small dairies are not automatically cleaner or more humane than factory farms. Many are much worse.

My grandmother & MIL both had latent bovine TB, most likely caused by drinking raw milk on their small family farms

I grew up on a dairy farm and can attest to this. (Not our farm, but we knew of several who were absolutely appalling. One was banned by from several creameries. Kraft even rejected them! When he finally lost the farm, he ended up running a Christian summer camp.)

And even the most perfect, kind, grassy paradise of a small farm milks cows that will happily itch a teat with a dung covered hoof! Cross contamination is inevitable, everywhere.
