I am reading this and I just can’t believe such preposterous and ridiculous shenanigans our government commits, it is so insane, instead of wasting all these time and money they should be controlling our borders for illegal jumpers and all the drugs pushing towards our side, very soon I would not be able to grow my own vegetables and give some to my neighbors for I would have these mavericks in my door steps accusing me of illicit distribution.JAM

This has been going on for years and it's not only in DC. I live in Illinois and cannot buy raw milk. If I want to I have to buy a cow share so that I own a part of the cow, or farm. I know a farmer who I can get raw milk from, but not cream or butter and I don't want milk. The whole thing is so outrageous. I really want to incorporate some raw cream and butter into my diet but I can't buy it. The thing that worries me over this is agents had infiltrated the group. It makes me wonder if my farmer's group has infiltrators.

Hey anonymous--you better believe it. The Feds, regardless of what agency they are, have the same goal. It is about power and control over the population in the name of large corporations that want 150% ownership of all live forces. That means our bodies, our land, our environment. If there was any real interest in promoting health, the big pharma corps would be sued into oblivion and the health insurance industry buried to never be found again.

You need to know and understand that anything that people do for self-empowerment and health is being assaulted with military style attacks. Ridiculous? Yes, if it wasn't real and serious. People need to wake up see exactly what is in front of their nose.

LET'S GO AFTER THOSE AMISH TERORISTS,THEY ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN ILLEGALS AND DIAPER HEADS.IM AM 77 YRS. OLD RAISED ON A FARM WE, HAD OUR OWN MILK,NEVER HEARD OF USING IT ANY OTHER WAY.IN FACT ALL RECENT NEWS SAY IT MORE HEALTHY.WHO'S BEHIND THIS MRS. OSAMA?

Well written!

For a crime of this magnitude there should be several life sentences that follow a hanging.

I live in China doing research on health cures, beauty and anti-aging. We Americans really don't know how lucky we are.

The highlight of my day is waking up to the singing of one bird that comes every morning to sing me his song. I do my best to immitate him and he stays and (talks) until other bird duties demand attention.

When one travels, there are many identity checks on all major roads. Most Visa's are only granted for 1 or two months and very seldom for more than one year. One day late and you are deported.

Wake up America, Muslims will silently take over the U.S. within 30 years, or violently in a shorter time and the New World Order may even happen sooner.

Unfortunately, not much that this government does surprises me anymore. The best you can do is keep a low profile and hope for the best. Remember: cash is king. If they don't know about you, it's much harder for them to track you. Whether it's raw milk or free range chickens and cows. And I'm sure they're next.

If you use non-raw dairy, use the fat-free kind--it's safer. WHY: Non-raw milk is HOMOGENIZED. The fat particles are broken down so small that they pass unchanged through the intestinal wall directly into the blood stream and go to every part of the body, lodging everywhere. The only bad thing I ever read about raw cowmilk is that it has one or two enzymes that are bad for children under 2 years of age--the enzymes interfere with the first 2 years of human liver development. Old timers scalded raw cowmilk before drinking/serving it. Scalding kills enzymes. Here in Maine, raw milk is sold through a local store, from local farmers. Maybe the problem the Amish have is their proximity to Washington--too close to the garbage dump, too convenient for the dump rats.

Glad to see you hanging in there William. Raw milk is a crime because it does not make big farma money.

There is no doubt that the FBI harrassment of this particular farmer is unwarranted but to portray them as victims in general considering their Indana history of horrid puppy mills and child abuse is a bit over the top as well. They are people like anyone else n this country.

This shows how scared the government really is.

nothing much surprises me anymore

Of course this is ridiculous, but I do agree with Cheri on the puppy mills. I've got one from an Amish puppy mill and it's nothing short of heartbreaking. Back to raw milk: wth all the outbreaks of food bourne illnesses, I suspect that it's only a matter of time when all raw dairy products will be outlawed. We seem to have a knee jerk reaction to everything.

Mr. Quinn, What are you talking about ? The road checks are all over the U.S. ? What does needing a Visa for a Country that is not your own have to do with this ? What is your point ? What are other bird duties ? How does the implication of the growth of islam, have any regard to this matter ?

These rules/laws were in place long before the Obamas came one the scene. There are many countries where they drink raw milk (they do put it on the stove first). They are healthier than we are. Of course we are no supposed to know this.
There are other topics that can be brought up that are making us sick. Not removing the chlorine from out water before drinking it or bathing in it. Flouride (a byproduct of the aluminum industry) does more harm than good.

astonishing. huge, important topic here, and somebody cannot resist going off on Muslims, completely and totally unrelated. Muslims are not going to hurt you. try to relax about them long enough to consider rationally the other huge abuses being perpetrated upon you by your own, non-Muslim, government.

From where my carcass is resting, it seems the FDA has a dual or triple purpose here, and at least a dual set of laws. Didn't the FDA recently state that they had no authority to force the food processors to recall a contaminated product? Is this is so, how is it that they can sieze or make the one delivering raw milk pour out the product, or in another case making the one producing a healthy bread destroy all of his finished loaves and the supplies to make more. Nothing was contami-nated here either, but they wouldn't even let him donate it to the homeless or some charitable organization that feeds the needy people.

So do we have two sets of laws??? Or is it that the FDA breaks their stated law to destroy the little guy because they know he doesn't have the money to fight back, and it makes it look like they are doing something to earn their money, while giving big business a free pass. While they are teaching the little guy to not step out of line they are also protecting the middleman dairy processors' access to the little guy's milk supply at a cheaper price so they can keep raking in big profits.

Let's look at that probable third purpose! If raw milk is
healthier, then why do they want to keep us from having access to it??? Could it be for the same reason they are still
giving monosodium glutamate and aspartame a GRAS rating or why they do nothing to enforce the law that says if MSG is in a food or drink, it must be listed in the ingredients?? If I can find a long list of bogus names MSG is being hidden under in the in-gredients, why can't the FDA?? Why is our public water supply still being contaminated by sodium fluoride and still being touted as preventing cavities? when an article in a neuro-logical journal more than 30 years ago stated that the 1 part per million allowed in our drinking water is the same as the amount that causes dementia! This lowly plebian can only surmise that the FDA is failing miserably at their supposed function of protecting us from toxins in our foods and drugs
because their orders are coming from the one world global
government, aka the new world order, and their ultimate
goal is 85 to 90% reduction of the population, worldwide!

Why is so much lip service being given the alleged epidemic of obesity when nothing is being done to eliminate the major cause? Why are so many smoke screens being blown around
to divert attention from the major cause. The 2 major ex-
citotoxins that are the guilty culprits causing obesity are the
same 2 the FDA is turning blind eyes and deaf ears to their
presence in most, if not all processed foods. Excitotoxins
monosodium glutamate and aspartame are both known to cause obesity. Both are also known to cause our pancreas to kick out excess insulin which is phase 1 of insulin resistance
(or as Dr. Reaven named it metabolic syndrome X) which progresses to diabetes mellitus, type 2.

Is this what government was intended for? If the Amish were so dangerous, wouldn't you think their local town, county and state governments would have "stopped" them? WHAT IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOING MICRO-MANAGING OUR LIVES?
