Today Mark McAfee, the CEO and founder of Raw Farm, tells us all about the benefits of raw milk, its historical context, and the stigma surrounding it. Mark shares his journey from being a paramedic to becoming an advocate for raw milk, educating us on the importance of bioactive components, the role of raw milk in nutrition and health, and misconceptions along with regulatory challenges. He emphasizes the healing properties of food, the impact of fear-mongering regarding bird flu and raw milk, and the need for better understanding of food safety. The discussion also touches on innovations in pet nutrition and the importance of biodiversity in gut health, the challenges faced in promoting raw milk, and the future of raw milk advocacy in America. I hope you'll listen until the end to hear some big new coming to the raw milk industry!
