Flutterby™! : CDPH and raw milk

I grew up on raw milk, and among various aspects of my growing up that I've been slow to adapt to and say "whoah, that was sketch", it's one of them. I don't like the flavor of pasteurized milk, and though I'll use it for baking don't generally consume it. Which, you know, is probably fine, as I look around at the ways that pastured herds in my area pollute streams I'm struggling generally with the ethics of the environmental impacts of cheese and meat consumption (even as, yeah, I really like cheese and meat).

Anyway, Ars Technica has a report on how the California Department of Public Health dropped the ball on a bunch of illnesses stemming from products sold by Raw Farm LLC.
