Raw milk MAY be unsafe, but so can Sushi, rare cooked meat, or steak tartar... an informed consumer can make that choice, but cannot decide for himself what type of milk to drink?
I suspect the Judge is in tight with some big dairy $$.

You aren't just trying to get a emotional and irrational reaction are you? I think they call that "trolling".
So, the thinly veiled shell game clearly designed to get around a long established ( and very important to WI Dairy farmers) law didn't pan out. It has nothing to do with government control of your home grown veggies.
You can't operate an illegal, unregulated, uninspected, untested dairy, even when you call it by another name.
Rare cooked meat can be dangerous. That's the main reason millions of pounds of ground beef were recalled. It had ecoli in it. Cooking makes it safe. But rather than slap a label, "Cook well" on the packages, it got dumped. USDA goes to great lengths to protect the food supply. As a result, most of the time our food is safe.

The Judge simply ruled with the established law. That is what Judges are hired to do, not make laws.

The citizens of WI are "in tight with some big dairy." Their economy depends on milk sales. Milk sales depend on public belief that milk is safe. They aren't going to let some tiny fraction of one percent of the dairy industry tarnish that reputation. Not now, prob. never.

It is a family with a family cow......... they were not selling milk! It is no different than being told you cannot eat your own beef.

A Wisconsin judge has decided – in a fight over families' access to milk from cows they own – that Americans "do not have a fundamental right to consume the milk from their own cow."

The Zinnikers were absolutely selling milk, using cow-share agreements that are not allowed in Wisconsin. After they were shut down initially, they "sold" all the cows to the new "owners", and became caretakers of the cows.

In reality, none of the new cow owners have anything to do with the actual cows--they only pick up the milk on a regular basis. That's the point that Wisconsin is clarifying through the courts, that these "owners" are not owners in a real sense, only on paper. These weren't cases involving family cows--these are dairies.

I'm not judging the Zinnikers, or any other Wisconsin dairy that is trying to find a way to supply loyal customers with milk. I think it is absurd that people can buy so many raw products, but in many states, milk is not one of them.
