Josephus, there is little wrong with consuming raw milk, but the good old days of the 60's are gone I'm afraid.

I was a sixties baby, and one thing we did back then, that is now frounded upon, is we ate dirt.

Kids these days are brought up in this sterile environment, and parents don't dare expose thier kids to any nasties.

Now days, so many kids have some allergy to something. Kids can't even take peanut butter sandwiches to school anymore for god sake.

Like it or not, we are now the nanny state, where laws are made to protect the few, yet EFFECT the majority.

Another problem we have is globalization, whereby we now have these SUPER BUGS, bugs that simply were not here in the sixties.

Another reason behind our food safety laws, is lawyers.

They just can't wait to sue some government department, or supplier/retailer, usually in the name of a quick buck.

Unfortunately the good old days are gone, day when there was no such thing as a use by date.

Welcome to our new world.

Agronomist, it's not only temperature that is the concern, it's also general hygiene, as some farmers would deliver their raw milk in a two gallon bucket if they could get away with it.

Hanging been in the raw food Industry most of my life, I can see the benefits behind food safety laws.

Again, i have no problem with people wanting to consume raw milk, so perhaps consumers of raw milk need to sign an indemnity, so at least the tax payer won't be out of pocket should they become il.

My view, cynical as it may be, is that the primary intention of legislation generally is subjugating the sheeple. The parasites at the top of the pile consider they have a right to rule via fair means or foul. Whether or not any piece of legislation has a beneficial effect is secondary to the insatiable appetite for power and control.

I'm just a cynic who discovered long ago that politicians & gubmunts are inherently corrupt (power corrupts and all that). We could easily control those parasites & demand they honour the Westminster principle 'government OF the people, BY the people, FOR the people' however as a mob we are infinitely too apathetic & compliant, which is exactly why we get the wool pulled over our eyes & constantly get fleeced ... hence 'sheeple'

Dear Rehctub,

<<Again, i have no problem with people wanting to consume raw milk, so perhaps consumers of raw milk need to sign an indemnity, so at least the tax payer won't be out of pocket should they become il.>>

YES! YES! YES!

BRING IT ON, I CAN'T WAIT, WHERE DO I SIGN?

The root of all evil in this country is the AMA guild and their Medicare, if only there was a way to opt out: I don't want a number, or to be considered a number, I don't want anyone else to pay for my medical bills (if I choose to use medical/doctor-services in the first place), certainly I wouldn't agree to use other people's stolen money for my own expenses. As much as we hate governments, in this case even the Australian government is a hostage to that mob.

I only want my freedom to have raw milk, ride a bicycle without a helmet and a few other similar things that are none of anyone else's business.

Where do I get this form from?
