All callers in favor of the right to choose raw milk
Even the host was surprised

I’m glad that CBC Saskatchewan gave air time to this issue! It was great to hear from older residents of Saskatchewan who grew up on fresh, real milk.
I was surprised not to hear dissent from those who called in, but then again I suppose the program could have been a bit longer to allow more voices to be heard.
I’m one of the organizers for Michael Schmidt’s presentation in Regina tomorrow, and my phone number’s been listed as the contact number, and because of this, I’ve received a few phonecalls from rural Saskatchewan residents who heard about the presentation, who can’t make it for the talk, but they just wanted to say that they support what we’re doing. It’s really heartening for me to speak with these people. They see the supermarket dairy products that their grandchildren and great grandchildren are being raised on, and they know that it’s denatured food, but they’re not sure what the alternatives are. It is my wish that farmers in the province who want to run small raw dairy operations can financially support themselves doing so, and that all the people who want access to fresh, healthy, local milk, cheese, butter can find it near their communities.
CBC was remarkable supportive and open. A few hours after the radio interview CBC television showed another story on CBC news Saskatchewan.
There was and is a real raw milk buzz in town
