Nanny State Again

I am probably too oldto remember when milk was good for you,lol. But when the milk (in bottles) used to come in the morning i was the first to lift the lid and suck off the cream,a nd even before that when we got milk in a can, straight from the cows" breast" whata pleasure. Shame you young oneswill never know what real milk tastes like.:p

On a technicality.

It seems both the original magistrate and the supreme court agree that he was selling milk under the law and could face a fresh trial if the govt prosecutor(?) deems it in the public interest.

The milk 'we' drink is the one that should be labelled as modified from it's natural state , pasteurised, homoginised, full cream, low cream, low fat, no fat, lactase added etc

Why do we have to continually have to protect people from their own deliberate actions.?

It is a personal choice deliberately made.

I have a personal choice , I don't drink milk , I choose to drink Soy.

He found while the "cow share program" did in fact constitute a sale under the Food Act, errors by the magistrate and prosecutor meant a fresh trial was needed.

Justice Tim Stanley agreed with the magistrate the cow share program was a sham and the Tylers were selling raw milk to consumers.

so everyone agrees they were breaking the law, but a new trial is needed.

:confused:

A bit like your argument about firearms, hmmm.. I dont know the case in hand but I am guessing the parents were giving the kids this milk to drink as they stupidly thought it was natural and better. Botulism and other horrible bugs they decided were worth the risk. Not the problem of the product but the stupid parents.

Yes... 'interesting' reading...

Bottom line is always..'Who profits?' from a desired or manipulated outcome.

Seems the Europeans have been able to do something that the US et al cannot do... provide a supply of SAFE, properly handled and tasty cows milk,- for those who want it.

NO-one is trying to ban factory-processed pasturised/homogonised/flavour-modified/vitamin - enhanced ...'white liquid'

In Europe you can Purchase Fresh Raw Milk from Vending Machines

Anyway, I'm not fussed either way, as I don't drink "milk" -

Only CREAM. Tastes nicer and generally has less 'sugar' / carbs. than 'milk'... :p:p:p:p
