[Avodah] Halacha in changing times

[elazar teitz via Avodah]

     RMicha Berger wrote, "Some see melichah within 3 days and chalav yisrael
as taqanos that apply even when the reasons don't."

     Those who are mattir chaleiv hacompanies do not consider it a change
in halacha, but rather a hetter built into the g'zeira itself.  While the
original g'zeira was milk milked by a goy whom a Jew did not witness, the
g'mara itself says that it is not necessary for the Jew actually to witness
the milking; it suffices that the goy fear that the Jew can show up --
yotzei v'nichnas. Those who permit hold that yotzei v'nichnas is not the
hetter; it is the fear of being caught, and fear of USDA penalties puts it
into the same category.  In other words, it is their opinion that so-called
"chalav stam" is not a new category of chaleiv akum with a hetter; it is
chaleiv Yisraeil.
