Currently Texas law prohibits the sale of raw milk anywhere, unless it is directly off the farm. Kate Clabby strongly advocates that every Texan has the right to choose the kind of milk they want to consume. Likewise, I believe the very same thing. This is Texas, if someone wants to take the risk of drinking raw milk more power to them, we can laugh about it later or maybe even convert to raw milk ourselves.
The Texas Raw Milk Bill, if passed, would make such a minor change that it would effect no one but the big milk companies if at all. This bill would allow farmers to sell raw milk outside their farm so long as they adhere to and maintain Grade A Raw Milk Certification. This certification would ensure the cleanliness of the milk as well as testing it for bacteria counts.
Although I agree with Clabby, I do not believe that the evidence she has offered to her audience is sufficient enough to convince anyone about the positive side of raw milk. Kate Clabby might have offered far more support to contradict herself about the safety of raw milk. I personally believe that raw milk is far superior to pasteurized milk, but my decision is based on personal experience rather than Clabby's argument on the subject. My family owns a farm in Mexico and I've had the opportunity to try raw milk every summer morning with cereal, and it is delicious!
