The battle over the right to drink natural, unpasteurized milk is a national one, as a story in the Los Angeles Times confirms.
If government can ban raw milk because of the supposed danger, why wouldn’t it ban the uncertain practice of potluck dinners at schools, churches, and workplaces? I wouldn’t support a ban on potlucks or raw milk; the question simply shows how arbitrary government seems.
(Seems, because only one of those two cases has Big Dairy clamoring for a ban on a competitive product.)
