Raw is right!

Actually, I don't have strong feelings about raw milk, but the news of armed raids on stores selling the stuff was - well, a little raw.

A good place to begin reading about pasteurized v raw is with Marion Nestle.

Nestle tends to sensible opinions and good links to more information. Her own blog:

But this reminds me to call attention to the Atlantic magazine's food pages.

Who knew? My high school English teacher said that in her days as a young woman traveling trains in and out of New York City she was advised to carry a copy of the Atlantic conspicuously, so that she would appear serious, and no men would make inappropriate advances. Now they have cocktail recipes on the web site.

But "food policy" news is aggregated here as well, on a daily basis.
