Raw Milk: Legal Battle

Three Most Interesting Points:

1.     Mr. Schmidt, sir, seriously. It's just milk. 

It’s not even from strawberry cows.

             You really don’t need to hunger strike for it. I don’t understand why it is that it’s such a
             huge deal. Is it just the freedom thing? Because putting yourself at risk of consuming E. 
             coli or Salmonella poisoning or starvation just to prove a point for freedom seems
             monumentally wasteful.

2.       There’s a Raw Milk Freedom Riders activist group, made up of mothers and supporters of raw milk and raw milk transport. That actually exists.

3.       A $55,000 fine is hovering over Schmidt’s head, but apparently “freedom” to buy milk is worth all of that. Herr Schmidt, if you’re willing to throw 55 grand away like that, would you be willing to throw some money my way for college?

Question: Seriously, why is raw milk so incredibly important to some people? Because, to be perfectly honest, there are way more serious breaches of freedom than whether or not you can buy raw milk.

Thank you, by the way, for these readings. I just need one more now for that pitch to Cracked.com.
