arrowThere's testifying and then there's TESTIFYING

What better place to breast feed than at a hearing on raw milk. But while you're testifying?

It might have been a Capitol first. Speaking in support of raw milk at a legislative hearing Tuesday night, a mother began breast feeding one of her kids. People noticed but no one stopped her and the hearing went on as normal, according to staffers of Sen. Dean Florez, D-Shafter, who hosted the hearing.

It was a sympathetic audience for sure. The hearing focused on new tighter restrictions on bacteria levels in milk. Raw milk enthusiasts came out in force to bash the new regulations, which they say are unnecessary and will hurt raw milk producers, including one in Kerman.
