When the reason that the law was passed in the first place had to do with the spread of tuberculosis though milk, you know, the lawmakers are not likely to go against history and change the law. <br /> <br /> As much as I think that it is kind of dumb, and that if a product is labelled as "raw" and "possibly hazardous" or whatever they want, then someone should be able to buy it, I don't think it will happen. <br /> <br /> I'd like to see it happen so that we could get a couple of small dairies started locally around here--we have plenty of farmers running milk goats and cows, but they are not selling their products--they milk for themselves. Ohio's dairy laws are quite draconian, you see.<br /> <br /> Good luck on that raw milk legislation.

I’d like to see it happen so that we could get a couple of small dairies started locally around here–we have plenty of farmers running milk goats and cows, but they are not selling their products–they milk for themselves. Ohio’s dairy laws are quite draconian, you see.
