WHEREAS it is illegal in Ontario to sell unpasteurized milk pursuant to the Milk Act and the Health Protection and Promotion Act;

AND WHEREAS the undersigned petitioners all desire to have the option to purchase and consume safe, regulated unpasteurized milk;

AND WHEREAS under the Milk Act it is the duty and responsibility of the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Commission, and its designated agent Dairy Farmers of Ontario, to develop policies that will stimulate the marketing of milk, and to maintain research programs for such policy development;

NOW THEREFORE the undersigned hereby request that the recipients of this petition establish the necessary programs to conduct research into establishing regulatory procedures and policies leading to the safe and legal sale of unpasteurized milk in Ontario.

    • It is ridiculous that it is permitted to sell tobacco, alcohol along with junk food (chips, coke, burgers, candy, "chocolate" bars, etc) along with unsafe drugs, along with pesticide-sprayed food, along with so much industrialized unhealthy and wrongfully-called "food", and argue that Raw Milk is "unsafe". Stop the hypocrisy. Legalize Raw Milk!

    • We have the right to be healthy and raise our children the same way. We are doing so much to save the environment, but not enough to have safe, healthy foods.

    • Raw milk from pastured cows - in the sunshine eating grass, not gm corn and soy-is very healthy. I have been consuming it for eight years, and I never get sick. It is your job to inform yourselves of the real science. This ban on raw milk is about money- protecting the factory farm operations, which produce very unhealthy milk of course.

    • Raw mild is a healthy God given food. If we have a choice to smoke and drink beer, why do we not have a choice to drink raw milk or not. Only the big dairy would say we don't have a right.

    • We need food for our health and survival! We live in curious times. Chemicals are sold as food while we are fighting for our right as human beings to eat real food. The majority of products that we can find in supermarkets have artificial additives in them. They can harm our bodies and even cause death. Why is this legal?
