The anti-raw-milk legislation is one part concern about poor dairy
sanitation and five parts agribusiness wanting to prevent competitors
from selling a superior product. (Rather like telephone and cable
companies trying to prevent competition via legislation.)

If they can't pass legislation preventing breastfeeding, then they will
start astroturf campaigns warning us about the high mercury content in
breast milk that comes from consuming their other food products.
