New not quite
back when there was just family farms those issues were problems. When I was a youngster drinking raw milk and offered some to an elder neighbor farmer they stated the only milk they would drink was canned condensed because they didnt trust the pasturized to kill everything.

If we torture the data long enough, it will confess. (Ronald Coase, Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences, 1991)

New True, but it's a gray area
Sure, when everyone has their own cow some of them aren't going to keep the barn clean. Just like some people don't keep their kitchen clean. Have you ever watched "Billy the Exterminator"? Some people are fucking slobs. I wouldn't eat anything from their houses.

But modern, non-factory farming is less prone to E. coli and other pathogens. Most of the FDA food handling regulations are designed to protect against the problems of factory farming. If you aren't doing that kind of farming, you're protecting against the wrong thing.

There's plenty of evidence that unpasteurized milk is beneficial. So we're destroying any possibility of that benefit, in order to protect against a problem that doesn't exist on the small farms that keep getting raided.
