Thankyou Digger for your inciteful correction of Garry's blatant error.
What was he thinking!

Manslaughter in my opinion, knowingly doing this.)

Oh, yes. agree with you there.
That course of action is at least addressing the real problem. Hopefully that would discourage anyone else from doing the same, or at least think twice.

Who says it's sold along side 'normal' milk. It isn't. It's sold in health food stores as a non processed food. This is the reality. It's just marked as a beauty product because the law says it must be. It is packaged in 'normal' milk containers because that is the industry standard. These appear to be the facts as far as I can see.
Earth mother is actively seeking this product.
Milk must be stored in a cabinet that can chill to -5*c. And there are ridged penalties for noncompliance. Do the health food stores have to store a beauty product to these standards?

I've seen earth mother, and she ain't bathing in milk!!

i have seen it for sale in the same fridge.....

i don't normally venture into health food stores...

was a small suburban supermarket in an affluent area

By all means, put a child proof lid on the container but that doesn't solve the problem.

it will solve accidental deaths.
i think banning raw milk alotgether goes too far.

I reckon you are right there.
Any further laws on packaging, labeling and child proof lids aren't going to make any difference. Using the same laws we use for feeding someone bleach, however, may have more of an impact. And the good thing is we don't have to make any new laws.

I've not. Even the A2 milk I buy is in a different fridge.

I think you missed my point entirely. My point is that it is knowingly sold for human consumption. Be that small supermarkets or health food stores. It is just labeled to satisfy the law.

Nino.
