Judge dismisses judicial review of Public Health Act regulation concerning raw milk
A man’s latest attempt to challenge B.C.'s rules on unpasteurized milk — also known as “raw milk” — was dismissed in the province’s Supreme Court.
Gordon S. Watson sought a judicial review of the province’s regulation of unpasteurized milk as a health hazard subject to “significant restrictions” under the Public Health Act.
Justice Bill Veenstra wrote Watson mostly wanted a legal opinion that a practice known as “cow-sharing” allows raw milk distribution and to restart a previous constitutional challenge. Watson also sought “various declarations” and an injunction against the enforcement of raw milk rules.
But Veenstra noted Watson had been before the courts in 2010 and 2013 on raw milk issues and dismissed his latest effort under “res judicata” — a legal doctrine which prevents relitigating matters that have already been decided.
Because it’s just plain better. I react badly to Canadian milk after it’s been ultra-pasturized but I’m not fully lactose intolerant. I can eat and drink raw milk products without any issue in Europe.
People often scare monger over how dangerous unpasteurized milk is but it’s only really problematic because of how unsanitary farms in Canada are allowed to be. A lot of the natural flora in milk actually aides in digestion and gut health.
Dawg I think you might be lactose intolerant.
yknow soy, almond, oat, etc non-milk beverages are seriously a great alternative with all needed nutrients…
Sure, in a pure form… but I can absolutely have lactose as long as I get the friendly microorganisms with it that help digestion.
But why?
