I, too, drank raw milk for the first twelve years of my life - didn’t realize it came any other way. It always tasted funny in the spring when the cows had been eating some kind of weed or another. We had four cows, one of them a Jersey who gave about half cream. Before school one was mine to milk, then run milk through separator and then wash everything up - all before going to school. Sunday dinner always included home churned ice cream - half raw milk and half raw cream mixed with right-out-of-the chicken fresh eggs, lots of sugar and pure vanilla. None of it was cooked. Mom also made homemade cottage cheese. Never will forget the smell - still makes me gag to think about it. But none of this must have been too bad as I’m still around many, many years later.

so you can go to the store buy rat poison and drink it, but buying raw milk is a “federal offense”.....
OK....

The raw milkers are using some questionable tactics — they’ bending the truth into propaganda. I find that insulting.
That being said, big government can go chug draino.
I have access to super fresh chicken eggs — still warm and covered with, er, stuff. They taste incredible compared to the anemic eggs at the super market. I have to assume I’m missing a similar treat with other market products — milk, meat, etc.
I can’t decide if the enemy is big government, or just a lot of really stupid shoppers. I guess it’s both.

It’s ok to drink raw milk as long as you had a rabies shot.

If it's the case that I don't own the milk, then it logically follows that I don't own the eggs, or the young my herds produce either. Nor do I apparently own the garden crops that my garden produces, nor the seeds with which to plant the next generation, nor do seed companies own the seeds their operations produce so they have no right to sell them I see that you have this socialism thing figured out quite well.

It is standard protocol, in the case of infectious disease, to try to track down those who may be exposed to the disease. Since raw milk is a source of many pathogens, if addresses of customers are known, they are used to try to recover the tainted food before it is consumed. One of the largest challenges for a health department is to track down customers of raw milk when one of the cows in the herd becomes rabid... rabies is transmissible for at least 10 days before symptoms appear, and a LOT of people can be exposed in that time.
The milk at Organic Pastures was contaminated with Campylobacter. Like many of the pathogens that contaminate raw milk, this bacteria can be lethal. Organic Pastures has a history of flouting the law and having its products recalled (this was the 5th recall since 2006). I'm surprised it is still in business.
Dairies that sell raw milk lie to their customers about the safety of raw milk. Personally, I'd like to see them held financially liable for treatment of diseases caused by raw milk--maybe they'd be a little more willing to tell the truth to their customers.

That really sucks. There are two dairies here in Idaho certified by the ISDA as Grade A, which are allowed to sell raw milk directly to the public.
I can go to downtown and buy it at the grocery store, but I prefer to cut out the middleman and buy it right from the dairy at the Capitol City Public Market.
The State of Idaho says "enjoy your raw milk!".

Even worse. According to cows and politics, this is Russian communism.
"RUSSIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk."

I wonder if Heritage Defense would step in in cases like yours.
They are a legal team that fights social services when they overstep and attack families for being weird (ie, Christian).
