Have been drinking raw milk back home in Slovakia, and am a great supporter of this movement in the UK.

i prefer all my food to be as natural as possible, unadulterated by processing and additive free.

Make raw milk legal in Scotland. How can it be illegal in Scotland yet legal in the rest of the UK? The health benefits of raw milk far outweigh those of pasteurised milk.

Why is it so hard for me to get Raw milk in Kent? No dairy farms around and delivery costs a fortune. No shops sell it due to the legality of it all. Its ridiculous!

interfere with my human right to make choices and decisions on what I eat. This nanny state goes too far when it allows people to consume life threatening amounts of sugar and mechanically recovered meat in 12p sausages, but thinks I shouldn't be able to support my local farmers by choosing nutrient & enzyme rich food straight from it's source as humans have done for thousands of years. Pasteurisation and homogenisation are artificial practices that mess with what is, ultimately, one of nature's simplest real foods, in raw milk, and I want to not be denied the right to choose to nourish my body without having to have the government tell me I have to have everything I eat go through the industrial processes 'they' decide is important. They should look at how much illness is caused by people eating the very processed foods that they claim are 'protecting' us - you only have to read about the new theory of allergies being caused by being too 'protected' from allergens as babies to see that raw milk has a crucial role to play in actually PREVENTING illness!

With ZERO reported deaths you'd say risk of disease/death was infinitely low and yet the FSA still won't allow the sale of raw milk? Bizarre indeed but what's more bizarre is all the so-called 'natural' chemicals they allow in other foods for taste and preservation and their associated/reported risks - like always, money must be the reason here...

It would be wrong to remove freedom of choice for consumers in the context of purchasing pasteurised or unpasteurised dairy produce. Farmers selling raw milk will no doubt take great pains to maintain the highest standards of hygiene and animal welfare to provide their clients with the tastiest produce available. The relatively short farm to table chain adds further to the security of the product and its traceability.

Peoople of the Uk would be healthier with unpasteurised milk. There would be less allergies and stomach and bowel problems.

Natural foods are just that - natural. Why should I be FORCED to eat what you want me to eat? If I want to eat raw milk it is not your place to say otherwise.

I think we all have the right to choose what we believe is best for our own diet and to have the ability to experiment for ourselves. If I fall ill from consuming something, you can be sure I won't have it again. Therefore I will be avoiding pasteurised and especially homogenised milk like the plague. As a child I managed to get my hands on unpasteurised milk when I was with relatives abroad and it is something I have craved ever since. If you have ever tasted it, it does not compare to its pasteurised equivalent. Come on everyone, fight against this stupidity of regulation on a product which is essentially healthy! Farmers of raw milk deserve praise for supplying healthy milk from healthy animals raised in the manner which they should be raised. When the figures of people getting ill from raw milk exceed those of illness from pasteurised milk then let us be concerned.

I have been drinking raw milk for years stabilising stomach problems. My daughter has brought her children up on it with only benefits, eczema disappears, children's skin beautiful. We all love the taste and I cannot bear the thought of drinking any other kind of milk ever.

I am fed up to the back teeth with Governments messing with our food. When I speak up for full fat milk, all I get back, is how much people hate the taste of milk. Is it no wonder when it is blasted half to death!! Bring back the pint I love, and leave the countryside to those who know what they are doing....The Farmers!!!

I was brought up on it. I was a very healthy child and was resistant to all childhood diseases. My immune system was strong because of a vary healthy diet, and fresh unpasteurised cooled milk daily from the farmer. Although dry skinned I have been resistant to exema since my mother first grace me goats milk then raw cows milk as a large part of my diet. I also had very good skin no pimples ever. That is still the case at 68.
