hehe, you just backed-up our police state claim..
because, this.. your post.. is the point we're making here.. this police state, where farmers can't sell their product and I can't knowingly buy milk from a farmer all because the gov't doesn't like it..
I'll bet if the Amish took subsidies they could get an OK to sell their stuff..
The issue is not that the product is safe or unsafe, although the risks of non-pasteurized milk and the organisms (not orgasms!) it might contain are certainly suspect. I mean...why did we ever come up with pasteurizing milk to begin with if it's ok?
The issue is that the non-pasteurized milk was shipped across state lines, in violation of federal law. Whether you agree or disagree with the law is a different story, there, lilekg.
I caught up.. and you made the point by listing all the illegalities and the reasons why the gov't went after them.. but what you missed is that that is the problem we're talking about.. there shouldn't be these kinds of laws, I should be able to, here in FL, by this naturally grown product.. it's milk, it's not weed.. but the whacko-nut crazy gov't laws don't allow me to buy milk from a cow..
how odd is that?
Ok. Then as I said, call, write, protest to your Congressman/woman to do away with the FDA.
While we're at it, let's do away with the EPA too. Don't worry about those pesky smoggy skies or poisoned rivers! Let's do away with the Dept. of Education too! We'll all teach our snot-nosed kids at home in the godly ways of the world! How 'bout the FAA? Fuck them! Who needs training to fly an airplane?
Let's just do away with gubmint all together!
