Big dairies cannot raise cows in a healthy environment, so they could not possibly sell raw milk because they rely on pasteurization to purify the milk from the unhealthy cows . You see, they keep the cows standing in the stalls or in lots, and feed them grain, hay, antibiotics and hormones. The cows do not have access to pasture because the big producers don’t own enough land to adequately pasture the number of cows  they have.  There is a logistics issue, too, since they are about production output and not quality. They want to sell millions of gallons of their milk beverage for a profit  – not sell a wholesome, nutrient-dense product that promotes good health.

So they have no choice but to turn to the government and pay them money to bully the small guy out of business. Never mind the fact that the small farmer cares about the well being of his cow(s) and his customers.

And the FDA has come to the rescue of the Big AG corporations, by clarifying that THEY (the FDA) make all decisions about food choices for the American people.According to the FDA, we have no say about what foods we want to eat, or where those food should come from.

The FDA has stated (in their rebuttal to the  lawsuit brought against them by the Farm-To-Consumer Legal Defense Fund), and I quote,  in the briefs submitted by the FDA to the court:

So where do we stand, if the federal government says we have no rights to choose and consume the  foods of our choice? Or even the right to make healthy choices for our children?

Raw Milk Bans are About Protecting Big Dairy.

He is appointing a new head for the Centers of  Medicare/Medicaid. One that will most likely usher in the “death by waiting” penalty for the aged, handicapped, mentally challenged and other “undesirables” that would weigh down the lean, mean Obamacare health care system with unnecessary costs for treatments.

Funny that no one has threatened to fight against the confirmation of this guy, but Obama was afraid to allow him to be questioned about his love affair with the Health care plan in Britain and his adoration of health care “rationing”.  Wouldn’t want the public to know that there really will be “death panels”, would we?

Obamacare – a health plan for everyone [that we don't kill off first to save funds]

The article below describes what is happening across our nation. The government and big-AG corporations are taking over the food industry and using the bogus laws and regulations put forth by the FDA, USDA. AMA and other agencies to shut down access to real food.

If we do not stand up for this family (and farm) the rest of the states will take note, and use the same tactics to take all of the family farms down.

Here is a quote from the brief:

“Plaintiffs’ assertion of a ‘fundamental right to their own bodily and physical health, which includes what foods they do and do not choose to consume for themselves and their families’ is similarly unavailing because plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish.” [p. 26]

They stated this in briefs presented in the lawsuit filed by the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund ( A nonprofit that works in a similar fashion as the Home School Legal Defense Association, except the strive to protect small farmers and all consumers that choose to buy local, fresh foods, including raw milk).

I cannot believe that the government can actually override the Constitution, and say that this blatant stripping of our rights is NOT unconstitutional!!!

Somebody wake me up from this nightmare! Are we living in an Eastern block country that is still trapped behind the iron curtain???

NO!!! Once again, it is from BIG AG companies (Freshway Foods of Ohio) using processing plants.

But Senate bill S-510 is going to shut down your link to safe foods, raised by your local farmer and give all that business to the BigAG firms that will continue doing “business as usual” – all under the guise of “Food Safety”

That means “poison for profits”.

The Associated Press: E. coli forces lettuce recall; 19 ill in 3 states.

Monsanto’s touting of “no till” to reduce erosion and the GMO crops that would reduce the amount of herbicides has now been proven to be a lie.

High-production farmers are now having to till the fields in preparation of soy bean, corn and cotton crops, use different, more potent weed killers and pull weeds by hand once again, because the weeds are now resistant to the Glyphosate in Roundup.

These high-production farmers are finally learning what some of us have known for a long time – that the almighty dollar is the only “agricultural concern” for Monsanto.

Monsanto had dismissed the same results in their own testing, due to the age of rats. This non-biased, scientific testing eliminated that, and other possibilities – stating that toxicity was a factor.

The GM corn varieties tested are in the food supply and feed supply of billions of people and animals.

Below is an excerpt showing which 3 GM corns were tested, and what their makeup is. Please note that they are altered to become tolerant to herbicide and insecticides (the herbicide and insecticides can be sprayed liberally on the GM corn without harming the corn itself):

” rats fed three main commercialized genetically modified (GM) maize (NK 603, MON 810, MON 863), which are present in food and feed in the world. NK 603 has been modified to be tolerant to the broad spectrum herbicide Roundup and thus contains residues of this formulation. MON 810 and MON 863 are engineered to synthesize two different Bt toxins used as insecticides.”
