Just because I'm registered to vote in the state doesn't mean I live there.I live in a place where raw milk cheeses have been legal forever and nothing will change that.Move. That's about all I can think of.What can I do to change this? I am registered to vote in CA.
Yep, that's what folks here do. ...in Tennessee. We've got cows out the ying yang just 10 miles from my house and I can't drive up and buy milk.I grew up in the country ON A DAIRY FARM. We sold milk daily. We were factory direct to you, baby. $1 buck a gallon, you bring your own jug.There are some states where it's completely banned.There are some states where you can buy it only directly from the farmer.There are some states where it cannot be bought and sold at all, but you can drink milk from your own cow if you own one. In these states, people team up and by "cow shares." So a group of people will pay a monthly fee to a farmer (for maintaining their cow) and in return they are entitled to so many gallons of milk per month from that cow.CA is one of the few states that still allows it up to this point.
I thought you moved back? Or are coming back or something.

I'm here until mid-Dec. Got about 5-6 more weeks left. I suppose I should be eating all the raw-milk cheese I can find. Maybe I'll bring some back and mail it to Maurile.You find me a job in SF or Oakland yet?I thought you moved back? Or are coming back or something.

You must have missed the title of this thread: Raw Milk to be effectively outlawed in California, starting January 2008You must have missed the part of Maurile's post stating that California is one of only four states that currently allow raw milk.Freaking ridiculous, but not as ridiculous as having it outlawed. GDB this king of the nanny states that is California.Worth every penny.You pay $18 a gallon for milk currently?
Sorry, no. I could get you in with some guys who design/prototype stuff for UCD ag research, but you'd be nowhere near the bay area.You find me a job in SF or Oakland yet?
Raw milk doesn't make people sick, lactose makes raw milk make people sick.If you criminalize raw milk, only criminal cows will have raw milk.
Right, but you were complaining about California being a Nanny state. In this context, that makes no sense since they are one of the last remaning states to have allowed it.You must have missed the title of this thread: Raw Milk to be effectively outlawed in California, starting January 2008You must have missed the part of Maurile's post stating that California is one of only four states that currently allow raw milk.Freaking ridiculous, but not as ridiculous as having it outlawed.

I consider it one more thing that's been added to the nanny-state inventory.Right, but you were complaining about California being a Nanny state.

A-. Well Done....Jules: Okay, so tell me again about the raw milk bars.
Maurile: Okay, watcha wanna know?
Jules: Raw milk is legal now right?
Maurile: Yeah, it's legal, but it ain't 100% legal. I mean, you can't just walk into a... restaurant, order a glass and start sipping away. I mean, they want you to drink it in your home or certain designated places.
Jules: And those are raw milk bars?
Maurile: Yeah, it breaks down like this, okay, it's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it, and if you're the proprietor of a raw milk bar, it's legal to sell it. It's legal to carry it, but, but, that doesn't matter, because... get a load of this... if you get stopped by a cop in California, it's illegal for them to search you. I mean, that's the right the cops in California DON'T have.
Jules: Oh man, I'm going, that's all there is to it, I'm ####in' going.
Maurile: I know baby, you dig it the most...
I'll keep my ears open. What sort of thing are you looking for specifically?

By federal law, no raw-milk cheese is allowed to be sold unless it is aged at least 60 days. That's fine for cheddar, Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino Romano, Manchego, Comté, Laguiole, and Roquefort. But it means that there's no such thing as top-notch Brie or Camembert or mozzarella or any other young cheeses in the States.Will they stop selling raw milk cheeses? Do they prohibit this already?Raw milk cheeses are ####### awesome.Why don't they slap a freaking warning label on the raw milk warning the customers if it's that dangerous.BTW, I drink ultra-pasteurized non-fat milk that comes in a cardboard box that lasts for months on my pantry shelf.
Hormones and antibiotics don't go in raw milk. They go in conventional, pasteurized milk.The raw milk producers in California raise their cows on pasture -- about an acre of pasture per cow. Not in feedlots, where cows stand in their own feces their whole lives and are generally diseased (hence the need for antibiotics and pasteurization).that's where you get the yummy growth hormones and antibiotics.Raw milk is disgusting. It's like drinking white motor oil.![]()
That's another point in favor of raw milk. People who are lactose-intolerant lack the enzyme needed to digest lactose, the sugar in milk.Milk straight from the cow already has those enzymes in it. The enzymes are destroyed during pasteurization.Something like 10% of the U.S. population are unable to digest pasteurized milk well, but it's more like 1% for raw milk.Raw milk doesn't make people sick, lactose makes raw milk make people sick.

you probably just skimmed the thread.This whole thing sours me.
I think of it like this. How much of a particular food would it take to constitute an entire meal, if that's all you were having? Not that a meal should comprise only a single food -- but for purposes of determining reasonable cost, how much of a food would it take to constitute a meal?For milk, I think a quart would be a meal amount. I'd be full after that.$18/gallon = $4.50/quart = $4.50/meal.I think that's reasonable.For eggs, I think 6 eggs would be a meal. So if eggs are $3/dozen, a meal would be $1.50.For bread, I think half a loaf would be a meal. If a loaf is $5, a meal would be $2.50From there you can mix and match -- say, a meal consisting of three eggs, half a cup of milk, and two slices of bread with butter and honey -- and the total cost cannot be greater than a meal's worth of the most expensive ingredient (in this case, milk).I'm perfectly willing to pay $4.50 for a meal, so milk at $18/gallon is in.:spitsmilkonmonitor:Worth every penny.You pay $18 a gallon for milk currently?

I know there are some organic dairies that don't use hormones or anti-biotics as well as grass feeding their cows. You can buy steaks from similar places as well, but you'll pay a pretty penny for them.I imagine that the decrease in production efficiency leads to the $18/gallon price of the raw milk.Thanks for the heads up Maurile. Most of my favorite Spanish cheeses are aged raw-milk cheeses (Idiazábal and Cabrales), both of which I've seen in the US.They don't give growth hormones to cows to make them produce more milk?Hormones and antibiotics don't go in raw milk.

There is a decent sized effort to get hemp legalized (which I fully support). But anything with any THG in it is illegal (some helps contain parts per million).For hemp, I'd agree. For marijuana, not so much.MarijuanaNanny State Competition Derived Bannings:AbsyntheSteviaRaw MilkAnd probably many more, but these are really bad ones.
lmaoDon't leave us hanging, bro. Are you in or out?Yeah, and that SoCal milk tastes ashy now...mudNot bakersfield. Around the San Joaquin Valley and I'm not sure where else. But there are no animal farms in SoCal that raise cows on pasture.Say what?If this law stays in effect, I will either quit drinking milk or look for an illegal milk dealer (which would be nearly impossible down here in Southern California since all the good milk comes from NoCal).
