One of the real positive things legislatures can do is gather together representatives of opposing sides of an issue to openly discuss it via hearings. This kind of discussion can help clarify the points of disagreement, and agreement, and help in education... It was in the testimony from the two public health officials that I got an education...in how to distort and misrepresent the facts.

Pennsylvania is known as a permissive state with regard to sales of raw milk, but its public health officials are anything but.

Shoot! I’m a boomer and I drank raw milk. Now what do I have to be thankful for?

[davidgumpert]

That you had the freedom to drink raw milk. Most people in the U.S. don’t have that freedom.

Thanks for reminding me. I did have a blessed, wonderful childhood in rural America. I am very lucky!
