Sorry, I had to work on your sentence a bit. The people buying this man's milk know what they are getting and why. The government ought to stay out of it.
If customers want documentation and warnings, the market will take care of it. What a concept!

I completely disagree with that. There is a valid argument for regulation; the trick is not to avoid regulation, but to try to keep it as reflective of reality as possible without being over-burdensome. The reality is that food production is heavily regulated at every step, giving consumers the ability to buy and eat the food without fear of it killing them (at least through infectious disease). People take regulation for granted. I do not see why milk, raw or otherwise, should be exempt from such regulation.
As for warning labels--the reason I said that is because if they aren't included on the raw milk packaging, people getting tuberculosis, listeriosis, etc., from the raw milk product will sue and most likely win. Warning labels are to protect the farmers, not the consumers.
Last, how do you feel about eating food imported from China (where regulations are lax and unenforced)?
