Yes, but the thought process of the risk taker is similar.

Is it? Junk food is the "thoughtless", easy, popular option while raw milk is very much something you have to seek out, unless you live on or next to a dairy farm. And not just seek out, you have to have been advertised to.

(very much the inconvenient option for me given the law: http://rawmilk.simkin.co.uk/what-is-raw-milk.html )

Both risk assessments are "yes, I know this could be bad for me, but the benefits are great and the risk is small/far away." Similar, not identical.
