It takes law enforcement officers with courage, know-how, and commitment to the Constitution to defend their local citizens against the jurisdictional scope creep of Federal Agencies. Holding fast is hard...but it can be done. Here is an example of one such courageous officer.

Talk about crying over spilled milk. The Feds that is.

Lavon Farms in Plano, Texas sells raw milk. Right now, Texas only allows raw milk to be sold at the dairy where it's produced.

Before it became illegal to sell raw milk, the milk was always labelled "from tuberculin tested herds" because tuberculosis is a danger in raw milk, although probably not as dangerous as the formaldehyde and other poisons in commercially sold milk today.

The best I can do now is organic milk, which promises milk from cows fed organic feed and not injected with bovine growth hormone or any other chemical. Of course it's still pasteurized and homogenized.

The "tuberculin" germ doesn't seem to affect the royal blood. The Queen herself drinks it everyday...while it is banned for the hoi poloi. Is there something about raw milk the Queen knows, that we the masses haven't been told? I hear also, raw milk is taken by other members of the royal family including the Princes.

I'm guessing they inspect that milk pretty thoroughly before it passes the royal lips.

When I lived in the UK I had unpasturised milk delivered every day from the local dairy farm.

I eventually had to discontinue deliveries because I am mildly lactose-intolerant and I was drinking the delicious creamy milk too much!

In Tenerife I have found a UHT brand of milk that is very creamy, but I can't drink too much of it.

The spread of lactose tolerance in Human Beings is ongoing evidence of evolution in action by the way. The mutation originated in the middle-east around 10,000 years ago among the first farming civilizations and is slowly spreading to the whole Human population. Unfortunately I don't have the gene!

I understood it was the Federal Government's business when someone sells a product across state lines. Does the Constitution exempt raw milk sales?

Since all milk was "raw milk" when the Constitution was written, I doubt very much if it was mentioned at all.

Mines, for most people that are lactose intolerant, "quality" raw milk should not pose a problem for them. By quality, I mean a cow that has been grass fed (organic), not grain fed. Unheated milk contains valuable enzymes and lactase producing bacteria...which are needed (by our bodies) to break down and assimilate lactose. This good bacteria, of course, is destroyed during the pasteurization and homogenization process. Those lactose intolerant are mostly of black and asian decent.

Experts believe there has been a rise in lactose intolerance due to the less healthy diet of the cow. This is all caused by man. First he makes milk unhealthy to drink in it's raw state...then he passes crazy laws to regulate it. When is he going to stop playing God?

Thanks for the information Chocolategenii.

When I drank raw unpasturised milk (thinking like you, that chemically treated milk caused my symptoms) there was no improvement.

I cannot buy organic milk where I live, but I find a local UHT brand minimises my discomfort - so much so that I drink a cup of milk every night before retiring to bed now. Perhaps the chemical treatment reduces lactose in the milk.

For some reason nowadays, if I drink any kind of milk and eat onions on the same day, my stomach goes nuts and I make a substantial contribution to greenhouse emissions! Aah, the pleasures of old age...
