I like that, its a good way of balance, people get what they want - and
the free market gets to decide instead of the govt. The govt gets its
share of the free market wheels turning and in turn, those funds go to
promote the Dairy products, nice circle of beneficial circumstance.

In Wisconsin, as a bow to dairy interests, oleo was not allowed to be
bought or served in restaurants.
Thus, like any good capitalistic society, Illinois businesses setup
oleo depots on their side of the border
for Wisconsinites to make illegal oleo runs. And the Wisconsin state
police would set up check points to
stop and fine oleo smugglers on the return trip.
Over thirty years ago the state relented on the oleo prohibition and
decided to tax oleo rather than ban it.
The monies raised were to go to the promotion of dairy products.
