What, all people?
People trying to sell me something are automatically low on my trust list. Caveat emptor
Having been a civil servant I know most are honest people trying to do a decent job, often impeded by politicians.

Well obviously depends on the individual and segment of government
No. I believe the rules around the distribution of this milk is a safety concern. Thus should be followed.
No. These rules are not unjust. As has already been mentioned elsewhere, I could water down, and otherwise adulterate foodstuffs for profit if it were not for the rules. I am glad of these rules. I believe the farmer is producing the milk in a way that is not justified, and is done for profit.
Yes, that is the role of the government. I believe government is needed and is a positive thing for society. I have the "freedom" to risk it if I choose, but society works better within these constraints. Admittedly this is a hugely grey area. For example I wouldn't get much of anything for drugs here in the UK, but I am aware other nations I could be beheaded. So YMMV!
The more politician involved the more I distrust government, but local officials trying to enforce a rule well it may be a bad rule but generally they are just trying to do their job.

Doesn't necessarily mean greed is his motivator, he might actually believe that his way of processing meat is healthier and feed his family that way
If he were just feeding his family, I'm sure the Feds would not have got involved.

while that is a reasonable position to take in a vacuum, i nevertheless don't see how "people trying to sell you something" are less trustworthy than "people forcing you to buy something", generally.
included in that purchase is regulation of choices impacting only the person making them, with no opt-out, apparently.
and as usual, with no consistent principle applied (people are allowed to take alternative risks that are much greater to them, freely).

Doesn't mean greed was necessary involved. Maybe he just got popular and was ambitious

The other by envy.
You mean mass illegal consumption changing enough minds to overcome inertia and lead to a 51% majority of people actively saying "yes" to an illegal thing.
OK, but motivation in the end doesn't really matter here does it?
If we go back to drugs. If I grow one plant, distribute between friends it's all good. If I get 'ambitious' and grow ten plants I'm in for a lot of trouble..
While an interesting read, I am not sure the relevance.
Yes! True democracy at work.
Does 51% of the population want unsafe milk?

Of course the analogy works. However you've altered it to be secretly laced instead of honestly advertised product that can result in farm raids for said honestly advertised product. Don't confuse yourself with trigger phrases like "rooted in racism".

Pretty hard to find out if the Feds shut it down too fast.
No, I'm very confident, given for example prohibition failed. Amongst it being pretty obvious.

You're saying the feds were mad cause everyone was rollin' w/o them?
Doesn't make you greedy though. If you grow 10,000 plants maybe.
I'm not sure what people are arguing. There seem to be two issues:
- some people want raw milk
- we force distributors of a certain size to have higher standards
What are people's arguments about these points, in this case?

I doubt the raw milk people are advertising that their products contain deadly bacteria
