Criminalizing Milk

In light of recent reports that Rudy Guiliani has decided to run for President in 2008 - and in light of my conviction that I can not vote for him if he is Republican nominee due to his Pro-Abortion views and policies - I have been exploring the various third parties out there. (After all, the odds of my supporting Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, or John Kerry/Edwards is even more unlikely.)

While checking around, I stumbled across this interesting little bit on the Constitution Party's blog.

Arlie Stutzman, an Amish gentleman in Ohio, is being fined for the unthinkable crime of ... selling raw milk!
The state of Ohio, it seems, has made the selling of raw milk a crime, and Stutzman was busted when he sold milk to an undercover agent posing as a customer
I'm not making this up, folks. Raw milk, it seems, poses unspecified health hazards in Ohio -- in obvious contrast to legal substances like liquor, cigarettes, potentially addictive prescription drugs, pesticides, fertilizers ... well, you get the picture.

Say what you will about health regulations, but it does seem weird.
