>>>> Even so, I would neither drink raw milk from an Amish farm, nor eat food at their kitchen tables. I know the Plain People quite well — I’ve lived in Southeast and Central Pennsylvania for going on sixty years and have been on dozens of their farms — and their standard of cleanliness is simply not acceptable>>>
But are you in favor of the government forcing folks who WOULD choose to drink their milk to stop? THAT is the question, not whether or not you are one of those customers.
No, not at. Please see my original post, which addresses this exact question. If you want to drink milk produced under late eighteenth - early nineteenth standards of cleanliness and sanitation, go right ahead. As long as people are warned about the danger, that's fine. It's none of my business if you and your bridge club want to play Russian Roulette at the end of your every-other-Wednesday game. It's also not part of governance at any level: local, state, or federal.
