>the problem is that no milk will be uncertified. There will be certain certifiers that will certify anything, and it will be extremely difficult for a buyer to tell the difference.

Interestingly enough, there is a substantial group of people that WANT to buy "uncertified" milk raw, straight from the cow. This is, unfortunately, illegal.

In Wisconsin there was a bit of a brouhaha over the practice of "time-sharing" dairy cows. You see, while it's illegal to sell unprocessed milk, the owner of a cow is permitted to drink the raw milk.

Straight from the horse's... er, cow's... mouth.

I understand the risks of raw milk and want it. I also understand why we have it regulated. I would like to relax the regulation to allow me to get raw milk in some situations. but I don't want BigCo. selling it. BigCo. can't be trusted.
