And here I thought that any rights no reserved to the Federal Government, the state and local governments, devolved onto the citizens themselves.<br /><br />The raw milk thing has been going around a long time. Basically, the dairy industry resents small herds, they don't make any money picking up less than a semi-load a day. But they don't want the competition, either.<br /><br />There are issues with raw milk. But most are manageable, and most raw milk providers and users are aware of the risks and eager for the benefits. Raw milk by definition is going to be a local, small time operation. Transport to dairies and stores, let alone shelf life, mean that it will be consumed quickly or not at all. Notice, next time you watch Fiddler on the Roof, how most of the folk aren't sick, and they get the non-pasteurized milk in a cup from a can from the morning's milking.<br /><br />This is a case where the dairy industry would like to have done what Monsanto did, and patent cows milk so they get royalties off everyone.Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.com
