So they found some local sympathizers and created an organization for collecting and distributing raw milk from crops grown organically and crops fertilized by manure rather than ammonium nitrate (which is a chemical, which is made in a laboratory, which must be evil because it isn’t natural, etc.) This introduces a risk of e. coli and other bacteria from the manure. Raw milk introduces a host of risks. Milk from hormone-free cows fed on only organic crops is reeeeally pricy stuff.
