By comparison, bail for child rapist Jerry Sandusky was set at $100,000

his crime?
"arranging for the distribution of raw milk to customers"

From the description of the LA County jail in the article, he should ask to be transferred to Gitmo!

Sounds like a marketing problem, just label "raw milk" as "Cleopatra's bath milk" and market it for it's " skin rejuvenating properties! :P

The U.S. population is approximately 313.5 million. According to the CDC, there were 37 outbreaks and 800 illnesses due to unpasteurized milk from 2000 - 2007, with an average of 100 illnesses per year.

The CDC’s 2007 FoodNet Survey data shows 3% of the population (9.4 million) people drink raw milk.
1 in 94,000 chance of becoming ill from drinking unpasteurized milk

78.5% (246,097,500) of the U.S. population consumes pasteurized milk. There were 8 outbreaks with 2,214 illnesses, with an average of 277 illnesses per year from drinking pasteurized milk
1 in 888,000 chance of becoming ill from drinking pasteurized milk.

To put in perspective, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, you have a roughly 1 in 8,000 chance of dying in a motor vehicle accident. Unknown how many were drinking milk while driving.
