You have to be a pet to drink raw milk in nearly 40 states!

Dairy products made from raw (unpasteurized) milk have been a bugaboo of governments for 40 years.  FDA officers have shown up at health food stores with guns to stop the sale of raw milk!  These days, it is usually state officials that ban such sales, using the state police and demanding the products be destroyed.  In an unusual recent ruling, a Pennsylvania judge banned intrastate sales of raw milk by an Amish farmer, but admitted he had no authority to ban interstate sales. Most Americans are required to impersonate pets to obtain raw milk, as there are no bans on its sale for pet food in most states.
