Wisconsin Judge: No "Fundamental Right To Produce And Consume Foods"

[donquixote99]

I suspect the ruling wasn't about growth hormone, but about pasteurization. The law says all milk sold by a farmer must be pasteurized. This was an attempt to evade that by having the consumer own the cow, board it with the farmer, and consume their own milk. Basically, the raw milk operation continues as before, except paper saying the consumer owns the cow and the milk is created, and the farmer doesn't sell milk, he gets paid for boarding the cow, and handling the milk.

Hard cases make bad law. If you just let farmers sell raw milk, some number of milk fever cases will result. Still, just make them put a warning label on it.
