  1. Consumers should be allowed to buy raw milk directly from the farmer, whether it be at the farm or at a farmers market. Consumers should also be permitted to collectively buy milk through a coop. The buyer should know the reliability of the farmer and the buyer should also take responsibility for transporting the milk in a safe method. Guidelines (with date of freshness, correct temp, storage days, benefits of drinking raw milk, etc.) should be given to the consumer at the time of purchase.
  2. The government needs to allow people the responsibility of making their own choices about what we want to eat.
  3. Yes! If government feels that raw milk is unsafe to consume, they should label it the same way meat or any other products that can be consumed raw are labeled. The little sticker that states uncooked products are not guaranteed to be safe lets us make our own choice and relieves them of liability.
  4. Absolutely YES we need to consume Milk in the form God crested it , RAW with every bio active component & enzyme to bring healing to the body This is our God Given RIGHT By Tonijean Kulpinski CBHC CNC
  5. Yes, The government doesn't need to be a nanny for us. We can and should be able to make our own choice about what we want to eat.
  6. Legal is a potential dangerous term! However the Right to sell raw milk deserves the same lawful recognition as the Right to sell any farm product. It is a natural Right to produce raw milk just as much as it is any other raw product produced on the farm. Then it is just as much a natural Right to receive compensation in exchange for that product according to the market demand. It is called free enterprise and there is no lawful basis to interfere with these Rights. The argument about health and safety is a separate matter from the Rights issue. That can and should be addressed on a case by case basis within the local community or possibly on a state level if the people of the state demand it. It is not federal issue! The federal government has no Fundamental lawful business attacking small farms and the like simply for selling raw milk! Keep in ,ind that Fundamental Law means Constitutional!
  7. No way! Just asking for one more way for those who want to stop animal agriculture to shoot us down. If one case of spoiled milk gets to the consumer, the media will blow it way out of proportion. Why give them a chance?
  8. The government needs to allow people the responsibility of making their own choices! I want my milk raw
  9. The government needs to allow people the responsibility of making their own choices about what we want to eat.
