My state did this a few years back, lol, with predictable reaults: https://modernfarmer.com/2016/03/west-virginia-lawmakers-raw-milk-sick/
Here is the headline image and caption:
Pat McGeehan (Republican of West Virginia's first district), one of the lawmakers who fell ill after drinking raw milk.
Ouch! I wonder if he had any idea what he was doing and/or the risks? And how old was his sample raw milk? Like: did they have some sitting out at room temperature waiting for a photo op? Or was it bad from the start?
Disclosure: I sometimes do drink raw milk despite the risks. I would never ever let a child drink it and wouldn't recommend it to others but... it tastes better. It tastes especially good and grassy in the spring when everything green is fresh and young. It is legally for sale near me from cows I can see/visit, but I have to go out of my way to get it so I don't drink it all the time. Also, I am pretty sure I need the added vitamin D from regular store-milk, so raw milk is a less-than monthly treat.
Unfortunately, this is par for the course in Iowa. From cutting back food assistance to having openly, corrupt officials.. It shows what the priorities are in that state.
According to the CDC website, raw milk is not considered safe for human consumption. There has been at least one fatality from drinking contaminated raw milk, which pasteurization would prevent.
Maybe we should start a conspiracy theory that claims raw milk along with whatever else they are trying to legalize, but shouldn't, will protect MAGAs from all disease.
