Kelli Estrella a small artisan cheese maker of Estrella Creamery is defying F.D.A orders that declare her cheeses unsafe for consumption. While the F.D.A says that a listeria bacteria has contaminated all her products, she does not want to accept that the government orders are simply in regards to food safety. 'She says she believes that the F.D.A's crackdown is part of a larger campaign against raw milk, and she is fighting for her customers' right to eat whatever they choose. "I don't think this issue is about bacteria and it's not about cheese," she said. "I think that we are loosing our freedom." '
