Tangential, but I was surprised to find that the reason I like my organic milk so much is because they pasteurize it at a higher heat (probably due to a lack of antibiotics). That caramelizes the sugars, and makes it slightly sweeter. It's also why the shelf-life is much longer than non-organic.

On topic, I agree that adults should be able to drink what they want. However, if you are selling raw milk, you should have to alert people to it, and if it's at a sufficient scale, get inspected/tested.

Reasonable enough, testing wise. I'm not a big-L libertarian, just a minimalist kind of guy.

Did not know that about the organic milk. AFAIK, the temp for heating milk (or eggs) is pretty precise. Wonder why they'd go higher?
