It's amusing to note that he was acquitted of three charges out of four not on the basis that he didn't commit the offense (what-the-fuck?) but that the jurors apparently didn't find it all that important.....lol.
Fucking raw milk, why anyone would buck against what is arguably the single-most successful public health initiative in the history of public health initiatives is beyond me.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I agree with the verdict despite thinking anyone who drinks raw milk has a brain cell deficiency. At the end of the day, if you want to drink raw milk, you should be able to.

Adults, sure. What about children who don't have an appreciation for the risk? Infants?

It's the same stance I take with faith healing. You can believe and practice faith healing as much as you want. As soon as you start killing people, that's when you go to jail.

To that, I'd respond that knowingly feeding your children untreated food products which, when untreated, are significant vectors for serious and sometimes fatal food borne illness, that the bar for endangerment has already been reached.
