Now Mr. Ken,
Why do you have such a hard on for this?
Perhaps its because the raw food people are spreading so much outright lies and misinformation?
Ok, I will say uncle on the Lactase arguement it is not central to anything.
But it is central to the fact that the raw milk people in the US are telling lies to support their cause. That's because they do not have any facts on their side.

If you are concerned about the Raw foods movement, Read this: http://www.precisionnutrition.com/all-about-milk
People see shit like this and worry big time if conventional methods, dietary guidlines etc. aren't ruining our health and lives. I am not claiming that the raw foods movement doesn't have its flaws.... Technically, humankind has been cooking food for so long we have evolved to digest many food better cooked. Plus our immune systems aren't as tough as they once were (look at a dog, they can eat nearly anything including shit and they rarely get sick. we eat peanuts now and our immune system tries to kill us). With as bad as our food is treated, it is only natural for people to respond in such drastic ways.
More BS. The real facts are that westerners are the tallest, healthiest, longest lived culture ever. Much of that is because we are the best nutritioned culture ever. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying or misinformed and more than likely is trying to sell some fraud to gullible people.

We may avoid infection because of pasturization, but instead we will be dying of diabetes, cancer, lymphoma, osteoperosis, or just plain old obesity later on down the road. The Dairy council tells us to drink shit loads and we do. In return, they pump us full of artificial hormones, antibiotics, and low quality product. We should eat or drink so much damn dairy. It isn't that good for us anyways. Finally, if we only had the little amount we should, milk wouldn't be so mass produced, and we would actually be able to safely produce raw milk without such huge infection risks. Raw isn't a thumb at safety. It is a response to low grade food poisoned by unnatural methods, chemicals and products which are often produced in a unsustainable methods.
Raw milk is only safely produced in very heavily monitored dairies. In one year, 2001, 300+ people in the US got sick from raw milk they sought out because they believed the bullshit spread by raw food nuts.

Reducing the amount of dairy produced would likely make the milk supply more dangerous because there would be less public concern for the safety of the milk supply.
As to diabetes (type II I assume you eant) cancer and osteoperosis, these are diseases of long life. They were uncommon in earlier generations because people simply didn't live long enough for them to occur. Anyone who pushes the modern diet as bad based on diseases earlier generations did not live long enough to have is yet again a fraudster looking to make a buck on the gullible.
