This paper follows the counter-discourse of the anti-milk trend building around a popular book in Denmark, a traditionally dairy producing and consuming country. It follows the growing movement of inspired by Mauritzen’s book and examines the growing mistrust in health messages from the government. It uses interviews and public debate events to establish the link between health, body, individual and state in a Danish setting.
