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 However, its ban originated with health claims, and many want it repealed due to shifting views of what constitutes a healthy diet.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.
