[AT] Restriction on selling raw milk...JD "B"

[charlie hill]

The USDA has more than they can do trying to inspect the vast majority of 
our food as it makes it's way out of the field, both here and in foreign 
countries, and make it's way through the processing industry.   They don't 
give a tinkers dam about a few people drinking some milk that came from an 
Amish farmer.  That's not what it's about.

I'm with Charlie here.  I have no issue with a farmer selling raw milk
to someone who understands what they are buying.  To me that is far from
grabbing a gallon jug from the supermarket.  It's been years but I also
drank raw milk, ate home churned butter and had country ham from hogs my
grandpa raised, slaughtered and then cured the hams.

There is a place for pasteurized milk, USDA inspections and the like -
there also should be a place for the firmer things as well.
