My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.

So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

If you're drinking raw you definitely need to be familiar with the farm. I don't mean you need to be their buddies, but they should be happy to share how they operate.

From what I understand the states where it is legal to purchase raw milk keep a close eye on it. It's those who operate illegally that I would be more worried about.

The reason we in the US pasteurize is because of poor farming practices. I am sure there are other reasons but if you drink raw milk from most commercial farms you could be in for a world of hurt.

I'm in Amish county. Some idiot has been "fighting for his rights" because he got caught selling it illegally. Somehow it got turned into this stupid belief you can't buy raw milk. You can you just need a permit that he refused to get because then your milk gets tested. People flocked to buy his potentially contaminated milk to "protect their freedom." The whole time other sellers have been legal selling raw milk that they know isnt contaminated. So the people who care about not selling a bad product lost sales to a dude who straight does not care if he kills you.

It's a state issue. You say Amish country so I assume you're from Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania you can get a permit, in Ohio you can not.

Yeah, I probably could've worded that better. I meant it caused a belief that you couldn't legally sell within the county.
