Raw milk doesn't look like healthcare. However, its ban originated with health claims, and many want it repealed due to shifting views of what constitutes a healthy diet. 

Or if you like, you can say this post is in memory of my Dad. Thanks to his dream of a small family farm, I grew up drinking raw milk and hand-milking the cow. It was a healthy way of life, and a good start for a healthcare career.

Food: milk; sale of raw milk and raw milk products under the manufacturing milk law of 2001; allow.

OR ANY BUSINESS PROPERLY BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE

The three bills are tie-barred: all must pass for the law to take effect.

This hot topic becomes even hotter in light of the newly-inverted Food Pyramid.

The second hearing is next week.
