Backers of raw milk are pushing to make the potentially dangerous product more widely available, even as a new disease outbreak sickens U.S. children. More than three dozen bills supporting raw milk have been introduced in statehouses, The Associated Press found. More states are legalizing it. Top government officials and internet influencers are helping drive this momentum. U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. downed shots of raw milk at the White House last year and previously promised to halt “aggressive suppression” of the product. Social media posts about raw milk have surged. This alarms public health officials, who warn that unpasteurized milk can harbor risky germs.
