I think raw milk is gross, but people should be allowed to buy and sell it, at their own risk, as long as it’s accurately labelled. (I don’t like pasteurized/homogenized milk very much, either.)
I don’t know that I’m a raw milk “proponent”, as I don’t personally ingest the stuff. I do know, however, that it isn’t my business what someone else takes into their body unless it’s a substance that somehow makes them a direct threat to my life, liberty, or property.
License this, license that. Is there anything in Wisconsin that does not require a license? Does breathing state air require a license?

Why not a 4-year investigation of the local proud-illegal-American dope dealers, the doctors who don't wash their hands, or the local...er... Women's Health Clinic.
Remember that he has yet to be sentenced on the remaining charge, which could be unpleasant if the judge is vindictive. Likewise, I would not be surprised if the government seeks a restraining order against him, effectively putting him out of business.
