Kurlansky writes that Canadians have found a way around this law by buying shares of the total milk produced by a herd, in an agreement known as a herdshare. The sale and distribution of raw milk is prohibited in Canada. "The issue was: Should it be animal milk or should it be human milk?" The beef about raw milk "Up until the age of pasteurisation, people were getting sick and dying a lot from milk, so it was a hard sell that milk was healthy - and yet, people did believe that," he told The Current's Anna Maria Tremonti. Whether it's debating the health benefits of dairy, or the merits of breast versus bottle feeding, controversy hasn't drowned out the allure for milk, according to Kurlansky, author of the book Milk! A 10,000 Year Food Fracas. No food has been the subject of more controversial arguments and debates than the humble glass of milk, says author Mark Kurlansky.
