Happy Birthday, BABY! Oink, Moo, Baa, Cluck, More Ink!

Happy Birthday, Happy Happy Belated Birthday to The Bovine Blog! This baby is one year old, but is the big boy of raw milk news coverage. Here is an excerpt from the post celebrating their one year milestone:

“We started this blog, on September 6, 2008, to help focus attention on the Michael Schmidt raw milk case here in Ontario. And then we looked around at what else was happening in the world on the subject of raw milk, food politics and the politics of health, in part, to see the raw milk controversy in a larger context. And we’ve tried to include relevant material from that whole spectrum of news and perspectives.

When I used to write for Farm and Country way back when I was in Agriculture college, it never ceased to amaze me how much of the farm news was really about politics. And the politics often revolved around controlling access to markets.

I think what has galvanized public interest around raw milk and made it such a flashpoint is the extremity of the opposing views. Advocates credit the best organic or biodynamic raw milk with healing properties while detractors claim or imply that raw milk can cause serious bodily harm. Which begs the question “Can both groups be talking about the same raw milk”. And the answer is “probably not”.”

Help The Bovine celebrate this important birthday!

Looks like I guessed wrong in my previous post about The Bovine, this anonymus blogger does have some journalism experience in the past.  No wonder the blog is so well done.

As a concerned American, I am delighted to have this blog online, to help tell the world the Michael Schmidt story.  Dearest Bovine, I hope you get your birthday wish for “raw milk for all who want or need it”. That would be an awesome birthday present!

Meanwhile, keep the ink flowing, so Canadian’s won’t be crying over spilt milk!
