Isn't it true you can buy raw milk in most places, as long as the raw milk is labeled for pet's only?

Can't speak for all states, but in Wisconsin, things like that were originally successful, then the state argued before the courts these were all just end runs around the prohibition against raw milk (Ha....truthfully, wasn't thinking Prohibition when I wrote that .... same brilliant conception, right?) and the state was initially successful.  Now, we have "for farm consumption."  Just what that means is the whole ball of wax.

 

Most states that are on the fence play like this - the state hates it, the lobby hates it, and they'll do what they can to shut any producer down.  But there are vocal supporters of an individual's right to choose what they consume, and so we have our middling, cumbersome, silly laws (feel like owning part of a cow?  You're golden in many states!).
