On a regular basis? No, I do not drink/purchase raw milk on a routine. If it is offered at a friends farm, or some sort of gathering, I will. We have some very tasty, locally produced, glass bottled stuff up here in WI, so I am very lucky to have a very good supply for a reasonable price.
Should it be regulated? I guess the question is "how" to regulate it? How is the beef that I produce regulated? It is processed at a buthcer, that is a Wisconsin State approved butcher/inspector. He is not supposed to process downed or sick cattle. Every bit of meat that is packaged, has his State Inspector licence number on the sealing tape.

You just need a time/temperature recording chart machine. It is "proof" that reasonable care was taken to provide some level of quality assurance.
Now as to whether or not ANY form of government can totally screw simple things like these up, I leave you to your own opinion! :-)

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
