Doesn't our provincial government have more pressing issues to attend to than the sale of raw milk? Premier McGuinty is agonizing over what he considers to be a major threat to Ontarians' health (forget air pollution, global warming, TB in homeless shelters, etc.) and Finance Minister, Greg Sorbara, has even gotten into the act (he sings Legalize It in the background). He is, as usual, floating around the perimeter of conflict of interest as his wife owns a share of the cow in question - no kidding. The law says one can drink raw milk if one owns the cow that produces it.
While Dalton looks on, looking as anguished as if he had just downed a cup of e-coli contaminated raw milk and needs a bathroom pronto, a farmer who produces the wretched product has been on a hunger strike for more than a week. Too much whining over raw milk, methinks.
I'm sure there are those who, if they could, would commune with nature by sucking the warm, yellow, fat globule laden elixer directly from the crusty udder of Bessie the bovine. I don't ride with that posse.
