Keep an eye on this story and assume there's more than meets the eye. Raw Milk? The unvarnished truth is this is the first major occurrence of this kind in decades. The FDA is hard at work trying to "stamp out" Raw Milk production, processing and sales around the nation, even doing para-military style raids on facilities where there have been no reported outbreaks of anything. Traditional Dairy isn't really in any danger from this, it's simply another Market a Dairy Producer may opt to sell to, a profitable one that's Consumer demand driven. So, why shouldn't Dairy Farmers have as many Market options as possible? Beats me, but it sure seems the FDA and a couple of large Corporations aren't comfortable with the idea. Hey, if anyone ever produces some for sale around here, I'll likely buy it. More of the profits will go to the Farmer, who in turn, will circulate it back into the local economy. And the problem is?
