Dangers? Hundreds of thousands of people died from communicable diseases (like TB) that were contracted from raw diary products. It was a serious public health concern - which is why the pasteurization initiative was undertaken. So no, I don't think "if they want to take the risk" applies.
"Hey hey everybody, I'm free to attempt to give myself a host of communicable diseases - don't infringe upon my rights!"
No. Forgive me for being uncomfortable with using "rights" as an excuse to reverse a hundred years of science based public health policy undertaken after hundreds of thousands of deaths -that works- to prevent hundreds of thousands more. "Raw milk" is biological warfare waged on behalf of ignorance. I'll pass.
