Again?!?! Good Lord, with the recession on and food prices soaring, you'd think our government would have better things to do (and spend our tax money on!) than continually harassing these folks.
Raw milk can contain listeria and/or e-coli. There is a reason milk is pasteurized. If people were to become ill form the consumption of these produsts there would have been an outcry of "where was the USDA".

"Because E. coli lives in the human intestine, this has raised fears that genetically-engineered versions might escape from the laboratory (or factory) and take up residence in humans, producing a product that might be harmful. For this reason, genetic engineering is done only on strains of E. coli that have been deliberately weakened so that they cannot survive for long in humans."
If you want to consume raw milk that's your prerogative but, it is not supposed to be sold to the public.
But, in the case of Rawesome, it isn't being sold to the public... its a private club providing a product at the specific request of fully informed members.

I'd "rep" ya but I'm all out for today. It's still a sale of a product that is illegal to sell though, I understand where you're coming from. I'd fully support exempting "private sales through private clubs" of organic/raw farm products.
