I was pretty sure my state had a constitutional right for farmers to sell their goods so I looked it up. Turns out we're actually not too bad on this nonsense, though considering the current outbreak I wish it was a full ban.

Here if you want raw milk you have to physically go to the dairy farm, bringing your own container, and have them fill it up. It cannot be pre-bottled or sold anywhere other than on the actual premises of the dairy farm, any other sort of sale is illegal, as well as purchases not for "personal consumption". I'm sure there are some informal networks that still exist to distribute this stuff but I've certainly never heard of one.

I especially like the ban on bottling, it is pretty effective at dispelling the illusion of safety people get from buying a pre-bottled sealed container that looks just like what real milk comes in.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
