RE: WHY DOES THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE WHAT I INGEST MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'M BREAKING THE LAW?

Just think if there was a real free trade agreement, you could be drinking raw milk from NZ and eating our butter too.

They tried bringing in factory farming of dairy cows a little while ago here and there was an uproar nation wide. We like our cows out in the paddocks where they belong, eating good green grass.

I've been drinking raw milk for years. My parents grew up on the stuff. I eat real butter too (when the wife lets me).

There was a review of the laws a little while ago around raw milk and the overwhelming response from the public was to keep the sales of raw milk legal.

So it is very legal to sell raw milk here. it must be labeled with a batch number so it can be traced, but that's about the only real change that was made. (our supplier has yet to label his milk, interestingly)

I also find it astonishing to read about the level of control placed upon people living in America. There is so much talk about 'freedoms' but you can't even get real milk and butter?

That's really unfair.

So good on you @papa-pepper for finding the good stuff for your @little-peppers. They will grow up healthy and strong because of it.
