If you want to fight the authority of the FDA to regulate raw milk sales, you should have...

I hate trying to find "loopholes" or "technicalities" that get around the regulations. The regulations are just wrong, period, and the small family farmers don't have the resources to fight them. Thanks to groups like the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, we have some support, but it's difficult and expensive none-the-less.

I know people who also rent out bottles and pails that just happen to be filled with raw milk. It's rediculous.

Go back and reread that post

I gave you both


Actually I feel the same way, so I gave both.

If you want to fight this, you have to have a clean case where you can show that there wasn't any other law you could possibly run a foul of. This is the second example.

I gave both how to confront the law and how not to confront the law.

The renting of pails or what ever wouldn't work, because the milk is in it and is basically sold as part of the rental.

The reason my example works...because the milk doesn't exist until it comes out of the cow, which at that point is owned by the customer and not the farmer. At that point, the farmer is a contractor to the customer providing a milking service for their cow and the milk never changes ownership. It was created as the customer's asset without any transfer of ownership between parties. That is the key, prevent any transaction between parties and there isn't anything to be regulated, especially by the Federal Government.
