when i googled to see if any other states had put a block on i literally found a texan health commissioner wheezing about how great raw milk was in response
I was pretty sure my state had a constitutional right for farmers to sell their goods so I looked it up. Turns out we’re actually not too bad on this nonsense, though considering the current outbreak I wish it was a full ban.
Here if you want raw milk you have to physically go to the dairy farm, bringing your own container, and have them fill it up. It cannot be pre-bottled or sold anywhere other than on the actual premises of the dairy farm, any other sort of sale is illegal, as well as purchases not for “personal consumption”. I’m sure there are some informal networks that still exist to distribute this stuff but I’ve certainly never heard of one.
I especially like the ban on bottling, it is pretty effective at dispelling the illusion of safety people get from buying a pre-bottled sealed container that looks just like what real milk comes in.
Reich Wingers will call that government overreach.
