[upbeat music] Today, Explained from Vox, Sean Rameswaram here at the historic Old Town Farmers Market in Alexandria, Virginia, on a quest to find something that is not totally legal here across these United States, raw milk. Mom, have you ever seen raw milk here at this market? No. Have you ever seen it anywhere? Yes, in California and in Sri Lanka. You drank raw milk in Sri Lanka? Yes, from the day I was born till I left Sri Lanka. So you're not impressed with my search for raw milk? No. [laughs] Not at all. Okay, Mom's not impressed, but, but I'm still looking for raw milk because more and more people are drinking it, and something like 18 states are currently trying to make it easier to drink right now. Let me see if I can find some. Sir, do you know where I can find raw milk?
