The regulators sure are. The people want to buy raw milk, and are told we're not grown up enough to handle the consequences.

Lumping those two categories together is a disservice to truth, and possibly health. If everyone died to whom you're referring when you talk about how "apparently we're not," then perhaps we're not good at dealing with the consequences. However, if most recovered, I'd say we are. Furthermore, the consequences of what? I'd say factory farming as opposed to drinking milk in the way it was drunk for thousands of years prior. If you're going to throw the baby out with the bathwater, it's best to make sure you know that the baby is indeed the problem.
You can tell young people - they have no notion where this all came from. Living in a world where almost everybody grows up, it's easy to forget that wasn't always the case.
What's-his-face- the guy who wrote about reform and the 'gate in the road', had some good things to say about all this.

With the laws in place; if you live close enough to a farm to get raw milk, it’s probably safe for you to consume.
The rest of use have to stick to milk that has been treated to survive the lengthy distribution process
