Enter The Campaign for Real Milk, www.realmilk.com a project of the nutrition education non-profit organization, The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF). The Foundation’s namesake is the author of the 1930’s health classic, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. Price’s book shows the importance grass-fed raw dairy products in building health and protecting against disease. His pioneering research on primitive cultures inspired a modern cookbook, Nourishing Traditions, which has sold over 300,000 copies. WAPF members promote cow-boarding programs, where ownership of the pastured dairy cow is transferred to the consumer, thereby securing the consumers’ access to a natural, healthy, humanely raised products.
The members of WAPF—over 10,000 of them--are an educated cadre of farmers, holistic health practitioners, and families that have made quality nutrition as a priority. Through the study of Weston Price’s research, they have become converts to whole foods, among them raw milk from grass-fed, traditional dairy farms.
These are the benefactors of raw dairymen, and the patrons of their agriculture artistry.
A loss of the right to carry on traditional dairying would be not only represent a huge blow to traditional agriculture but also an unthinkable infringement on the rights of citizens to the pursuit of happiness.
