A bill passed a legislative committee on Tuesday that would make the sale of raw, unpasteurized milk legal
in the state of Utah, according to an article in The Salt Lake
Tribune. If it goes through, Utahns (yes, Utahns) could soon be able to purchase the highly-coveted dairy
product in retail stores. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Brad Johnson, R-Aurora, who is also a rancher.
The Utah Dairyman's Association opposes the bill, however, for fear of possible health issues associated with unpasteurized milk. They feel that if an illness were to result from a problem with raw milk, consumers and the media would fail to differentiate between raw (unpasteurized) and pasteurized, leaving the entire industry to suffer.
The Utah Public Health Association opposes the bill as well, for fear of shouldering the financial burdens they say may accompany public illness due to tainted milk.

Here in California, my friends call them Utards.
Who would want raw milk? I mean, if you want raw milk, buy a cow.

As a Utard Foodie myself, the idea gets me excited. It might be possible then to get cheese (such as brie) made from the raw milk, which would just be awesome.
