The folks at my natural foods store will soon be rearranging the milk on the shelves. An inspector told them that raw milk must be stored and displayed below pasteurized milk products to prevent contamination. They think leaking raw milk could contaminate pasteurized milk. I am laughing and crying at the same time.

I’m laughing because this is stupid. On so many levels. Still, I’m left with this nagging question: Isn’t milk sold in sealed containers?

I’m crying because this stupidity and government overreach is apparently legal and I have no alternative but to conclude that my country is stupid.

So, unrelated to the above, but interesting to view, I leave you with a prominent raw milk purveyor making outlandish* medical claims about this food:

* Outlandish because they are unsubstantiated by government-sanctioned studies and we are not allowed to do that. Ye (in case you were wondering) our government has not ever sanctioned a legitimate raw milk study.
