Hey Lamancha Paul....re: raw milk

[billooo2]

I did not want to hijack the other thread......but part of your last post intrigued me.

"Maybe if/when it bursts the idiotic raw-milk BS will go away."

I am wondering what part of the "raw milk" iue you think, is idiotic......

In Ohio, the Chief of the Dairy Division and several cow dairy farmers can't believe that anyone would want to drink raw milk.

Then there are people (like me) that can't believe in this "land of freedom" that there are governement bureaucrats that think that individuals should not have the right to consume the food they want....and be free to make their own decisions about whom they purchase it from.

Just wondering which part you saw as idiotic???

Bill.........just curious

Bill, You see: my parents and their parents, and all their siblings drank raw milk and now they are ALL DEAD.

As I understand it, in Georgia it is illegal to sell or distribute raw milk.

Literally taken it means that I can drink my own goats’ milk - raw. That makes it questionable if I can serve it to my family members at dinner, make ice cream or fudge; even more if a neighbor comes over to partake; EVEN worse if I transport it to my neighbor's and it borders on abhorrent if I were to sell a glass full.

The authorities take this issue seriously despite data showing that “properly processed” raw milk is healthy.

The BS is that no rules or regulations… just NO. They choose to close down a huge demand market in favor of big industry. I’ve visited a couple of cow dairy farms where I CAN SEE why the milk has to be pasteurized. NASTY. That is probably why in Ohio they can’t believe one would want to drink raw milk.

If you think that we live in a free country try to visit Cuba or share a glass of cold, delicious, raw milk with your best friend. Sorry for .

I am with you, Paul.
I would not want raw milk form most commercial dairies.
I am amazed that the bureaucrats who elieve that individuals should not have the freedom to make their own choices.
My is right beside yours.
If you notice, they never go after the people buying it........at least in Ohio, they realized that they would have "constitutional problems" if they went after consumers.
I have had thoughts about starting a "grass roots" movement to add to the
Bill Of Rights......"The Right to Buy and Consume Whatever Food I Want and Buy It From Whomever I Choose." shocking idea that we have to spell out that freedom in this country!!!!!
