Raw milk is the latest battleground in the culture wars that are inexorably tearing at the heart of American society, The Dealer sees.

Indeed, the raw milk movement has the enviable, or unenviable, distinction of being supported by those on the super trendy left and the head-banger right.

The former believe raw milk builds the individual’s all-round “wellness”; while the latter lump pasteurisation in with vaccination (they rhyme, after all).

A disciple of the hard right viewpoint is none other than Robert F Kennedy Jr; the man who could yet have the pulse of the American public in his hands if Donald Trump has his way. Kennedy Óg has claimed that US government regulations on raw milk are part of a broader “war on public health”.

Who would have thought that raw milk could stir such fiery passions, you might ask? Only in America, is the answer, only in America.
