The only one I agree with is banning the consumption of endangered animals. Also, I think that animals should not be treated cruelly while living (such as squeeze pens or force feeding) to create a food.
All else goes in my opinion. If something is "bad" for you, that's your call. Anything, even water, can be bad for you in excess. I've eaten a lot of illegal cheese in my day. It's the good stuff. I've consumed a lot of unpasteurized milk, too.
I grew up on a farm - God, I miss fresh goat and cow milk. There are flavors and aromas that high temperature pasteurization utterly destroy. Even lower temperature pasteurization takes away a lot of flavor.
