According to the FDA, we have no absolute rights to choose the foods we eat!
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???
