I drank raw milk as a kid and have lived to tell about it. My goodness, was that some good stuff!

If they own part of the cow, that should be good enough

If the verdict was not jury nullification of the law, it was darn close.

"handling adulterated or misbranded food"

Raw = adulterated.

Homogenized = unadulterated.

Freedom = control.

Ah,the “libertarians” are out again I see.Selling “raw” milk may well be reasonable under two conditions...1) it be made abundantly clear to anyone obtaining it from the farmer and to all subsequent persons/companies/entities of its unpasteurized state and 2) that it cannot be distributed to,or served to,anyone under the age of 18.

... and public health officials who warn that raw milk can cause serious and sometimes fatal diseases, such as E. coli, salmonella and listeria.

Inspected food can and does sometimes do that too ... but you don't see the SWAT teams raiding the offices of the inspectors, do you? Anyway, raw milk can be very hazardous to your health, when in fact it can bring dozens of adrenalized Rambo wannabees on your property, shouting obscenities at you and pointing machine guns at your head. As it happens though this risk doesn't have anything directly to do with the milk, however.

Fresh milk straight from a Guernsey cow, 50% milkfat. About the texture of latex paint when you swallow it.

Good stuff.

Raw milk has been with us since the first cow was milked. It is obvious form the millions that have died from milk over the millennia that something could be done.

We had cows and drank raw milk our whole lives until we all moved away from home. Also, Churned our own butter,had buttermilk, made cottage cheese, whipped cream, etc. We were all healthy, had strong bones and good teeth. This govt. reg. crap has gotten entirely out of hand in my opinion. We also butchered our own hogs and a steer all with no help from Uncle Sam. Folks had big gardens too and froze or canned vegetables. So did most of the neighbors and we all shared with older neighbors and needy families. We’re literally being “REGULATED” to death by the Fed. Gov’t! I can’t stand what our Country is becoming. There is no real feeling of Freedom which so many used to enjoy. I can’t stand what our once Great Nation is turning into anymore.

I’ve only tried raw milk a few times, and, while it’s good, I wouldn’t go too far out of my way to get some. However, if I was on the jury it’s likely that I would have gone for nullification. The government has no business regulating the knowing purchase of raw milk, just labeling to ensure that buyers know it is raw milk and not pasteurized.

Raw milk has been safely used for 1000s of years, and the State uses force of arms to ban it.

GMOs are brand new, with questionable safety, and the State does not even want them to appear on ingredient lists.

Every single person who drank raw milk before pasteurization was invented is now dead. How much evidence do you need? (/s)

FABULOUS NEWS!

As a kid, we lived in inner-city Milwaukee but Mom shipped us all to her cousin’s farm each summer as indentured slaves, mainly to get us out of her hair and into the fresh air and sunshine. The reason I have a farm today is from LIVING the stark difference between City Life and Country Life. *HEART*

I never knew that all that milk I drank STRAIGHT from the cow or goat was BAD for me. Funny how those Nanny Staters knew how to live my life better than the adults in my life did back then!

B@stards. But, score one for US!
