BERKELEY, Calif. - Many raw milk consumers are opposing new dairy standards set to take effect next week in California, saying they could outlaw some of their preferred products. The new law does not create an outright ban on raw milk, but producers believe it could dry up supplies by setting new bacteria limits they say are difficult to meet. Mark McAfee is founder of Fresno-based Organic Pastures Dairy Company, the larger of two raw milk producers in California. He said consumers "are fed up with the government being in their kitchens, and they want to be able to make their independent choices about food." State officials, on the other hand, say producers should be able to meet the standards, which they maintain are necessary for safety. full story |

Just station cows at various intersections and advertise "Pump Your Own" milk sales.
A video camera to record the ensuing hilarity would also be appropriate....

It should be available in all 50 states. I grew up drinking raw milk. It's no more dangerous than any other fresh food and, when fresh, is much more healthier than pasteurized, homogenized product we are being sold as milk.

After we moved here, my dad bought a milk-cow (1982, I think). Nothing can compare to fresh milk / butter / buttermilk, and the foods my mother would make from them! The only reason I didn't weigh several hundred pounds, was because we worked our butts off in those days... probably why we rarely became sick, too.
To each their own, and I don't see why people should NOT be able to buy these products (I wish we had the time to do such things for my own family)

If you move to Amish country, you can buy just about ANY product made from scratch with raw materials.
