raw milk might soon be legal in LA

Ortego explained the bill follows suit with laws in surrounding states like Arkansas and Texas where it is legal for farmers to sell raw milk to consumers. The bill would not permit the sale of raw milk in retail stores.

Of course not, the "big" conglomerate milk producers own that space. None the less it's a step in the right direction (for more freedom).

Store bought milk doesn't even compare to raw milk. We have a couple of Jersey cows that we milk. We bought them because of health issues we were experiencing. Their milk is so much better tasting and better for you. Since it is not pasteurized, it has all the beneficial bacteria that you need in your gut to properly digest food.

This bill is about Freedom. It's great that people will have a choice!

I was raised on a dairy farm; we saved our Jerseys for the "house milk". A one inch layer of yellow cream on a jug of milk.

Still a few friends who dairy for a living. I imagine they'd be willing to farm and milk fewer cows and sell raw if the price is sufficient to make it viable. There would have to be a legal waiver signed by customers re lawsuits.

Last I recall...they got about $15 per 100 lbs; which would work out to about a buck fifty per gallon. Could probably get $7.50 right out of the cooler, and it might work. Problematic, no doubt.
