Letter to Editor: Keep the Right to Consume Raw Milk!

Submitted by on November 18, 2011 – 8:09 pm 23 Comments

By: Tanja Pauls

Hi all

Sorry if you’ve already got this from somebody else, but we think it’s so important we wanted everybody to have a chance to see it. Please pass it on to anyone else who may be interested.

MAF have released a discussion document about a proposed new bill to legislate our right to access raw milk. They state that they have no intention to stop raw milk being available, but they do want to close up any loopholes that allow us to access it anywhere other than the farm gate. For most people, that will severely limit their ability to source natural milk.

We have just posted our new website about natural milk, and how to make a submission on this document. www.milk.org. nz

If you haven’t already made a submission to MAF please get one in before Dec 5 in order to protect our rights to obtain this health food.

“If the consumers do not speak up and tell MAF what they want, they will assume that consumers do not want to be able to buy raw milk and essentially it will be unavailable to most” – Ben Warren www.bepure.co. nz

On the site we discuss the health benefits of milk in its natural state. By this we mean natural, unprocessed, organic, full-fat milk. We do not recommend the consumption of milk that is pasteurised, homogenised, low fat, ultra heat treated, skimmed, dried, or non organic.

Often referred to as “raw milk”, sometimes as “real milk” this is milk as it has been consumed for many thousands of years, and still is in most parts of the world. New Zealand (along with Australia and Canada) is one of a very small number of countries that restrict the sale of natural milk products.

At this point – November 2011 – in NZ, the important issue is to make submissions to MAF in order to protect our supplies of raw milk. Submissions need to be made before the 5th December. See http://www.foodsafe ty.govt.nz/ elibrary/ industry/ farm-gate- raw-milk- sales/index. htm

The document we are making submissions on is available for download here: http://www.foodsafe ty.govt.nz/ elibrary/ industry/ farm-gate- raw-milk- sales/2011- 11-raw-milk- farm-gate- sales.pdf

For information on what to include in your submission, visit www.milk.org. nz

    For some people that own property, a motion to post real estate in lieu
    of cash is a good way to avoid paying a ten percent premium
    to a bail bondsman. Finding the best criminal defense
    attorney is generally a challenging procedure, with lots of concerns regarding their capacity handle the condition. One thing
    to always understand about cyber crime is that its not
    about credibility or trying to be the ‘best’, as movies would have
    you believe.

    and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she
    has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but
    I had to share it with someone!

    It’s caused by the passion displayed in the article I
    browsed. And on this article Letter to Editor: Keep
    the Right to Consume Raw Milk! | Happyzine | Because
    good news makes a difference. I was excited enough to post a commenta response
    ;) I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s okay.

    Could it be simply me or do some of these remarks look as if they are left by brain dead people?
    :-P And, if you are writing on other social sites, I’d like to keep up with you.
    Could you make a list every one of your social pages like your twitter
