Article: Loophole leads to limited market for raw milk; Some people cite health benefits, but experts warn of possible risks

EAST TROY, Wis. - People come to Mark Zinniker's farm for milk they can't find in any grocery store.

Zinniker and his customers believe in the healing power of unpasteurized milk - also called raw milk. But it's illegal to buy, sell or give away in Wisconsin and about half the other states.

"In order for people to drink raw milk, they have to be questioning the system," Zinniker said.

Raw milk producers and drinkers say they are following in the footsteps of organic food enthusiasts, who were once considered a fringe group, said Sandy Falun, president of the raw milk advocate group Weston A. Price Foundation in Washington.
