What am I dismissing? The facts? The facts are that the farmer broke the law by shipping unpasteurized milk across state lines. The facts are that the farmer ignored repeated cease and desist orders from the FDA. The facts are that the FDA had to take the farmer to civil court, not criminal court, to enforce the law.
The law:
I'm well aware of those FACTS. They are substantiated by court records. What is not substantiated by anything are the claims by Alex Jones, Fox Nation, and others that the FDA did anything wrong other than piss off a bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists by doing their fucking job.
If you, ekg, or lilMike are unhappy with the government's regulation of unsafe food, feel free to contact your congressman and let them know.
Until then, the FDA did nothing wrong.
Case closed.
WINNING!
Winning huh? I've seen on the muche where that leads...
No I'm not arguing... well anything. Based on the limited information here, I would agree that the FDA did nothing wrong, and if federal law prohibits the interstate commerce of unpastuerized milk, well then it's against the law.
It just seems like a silly and minor thing. My gut feeling is that there are a lot of things that consenting, informed adults should be allowed to do that nanny statists and busybodies enjoy making illegal. I'm guessing the FDA may have bigger enforcement issues than Amish farmers but heh, I guess once you cross the line into thinking people need to be protected from themselves there's no end to it.
