The Raw Milk Revolution: Behind America’s Emerging Battle Over Food Rights
David E. Gumpert, Foreword by Joel Salatin
ISBN 9781603582193 ▪ $19.95 paperback ▪ 288 pages
“David Gumpert has chronicled the Raw Milk War with insight and humor. He provides an important record of systematic government bias against Nature’s perfect food. Must reading for raw milk fans and government officials alike.”
—Sally Fallon Morell, President, The Weston A. Price Foundation
“David Gumpert has become the official chronicler of the ‘raw milk movement’ in the United States . The Raw Milk Revolution is a highly readable expose that successfully captures how the controversy over raw milk is at the center of a larger battle between the industrial food system and the local food movement. Gumpert explains how raw milk, more than any other food, threatens proponents of the ‘germ theory,’ centralized food production, and the ‘nanny state.’ The Raw Milk Revolution is an extremely important book because it sounds a clear warning that upholding the right to produce and consume raw milk is critical in preserving our food freedoms in general.”
—Peter Kennedy, President, Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund
“The raw milk underground is one of the most contentious battlefields in the revolution to reclaim our food from industrialization, over-processing, and corporate control. In this book, David Gumpert investigates in great detail the health claims of both raw milk advocates and public health officials, as well the legal tactics being employed by government agencies to stop the growing movement to obtain and supply raw milk. His comprehensive analysis effectively deconstructs and illuminates the many complex issues of health, safety, and freedom that are raised by this debate.”
