Proponents of raw milk are pushing to make the unpasteurized product more widely available and easy to obtain. More than three dozen bills supporting raw milk have been introduced in statehouses across the nation, the AP found. The momentum is growing even as a new outbreak sickens U.S. children. Health officials have long warned that raw milk can contain potentially deadly germs. But government officials like Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., along with social media influencers, have fueled sharp new interest in unproven health benefits.

If you can't visit the original Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, you might find a dead ringer nearby. For a 1950 bond drive, the Treasury Department commissioned replicas for each U.S. state and several territories. These replicas have become a fascination for “bell hunters” like Tom Campbell from Colorado. Campbell stumbled upon his first replica in Denver in the late 1990s, sparking a quest to visit them all. The replicas, cast in France, weigh the same as the original and even have faux cracks, but differ in metallurgical makeup. Many have suffered from neglect, but some are being restored as the U.S. approaches its 250th anniversary.
