Farm Ordered To Destroy Raw Cheese.

[JarDude]

I have read about several members here that enjoy raw dairy and thought this may be interesting.

I have recently secured a source for raw whole milk that my family has enjoyed now for a few months.

Comments?

I'm too mad :mad: to comment right now. Don't want to get thrown off the forum from the language I'd probably use to express my opinion.

We are going to cover this in our newspaper soon, here in PA the Feds have been pestering the Amish about raw milk sales. They do NOT have the right, if someone desires to have raw milk, it is none of the governments business and they can only enforce that if sheeple follow their moronic law. I would love to have someone from the feds show up at my door and try to remove my raw milk from the fridge.....one can dream can he?...LOL

The FDA is totally out of line and need to get out of the field. And we need to stand up to them by backing those who the FDA targets. It's only by solidarity that we will prevail.

The government has no business on my property telling me how to eat my food or drink my milk! We drink raw milk from our goats, make raw cheese, yogurt etc. Why kill all the nutrients and then add them back in. This is the same government that feed the kids crap at school because they know what healthy is???????????? I will keep my raw milk and cheese thank you.

I understand that the FDA got started when some early sausage maker had an employee fall into the vat - and they just kept on making sausage with him in it. OK I get that. People needed protection from businesses that were unclean and obviously - not even minimally decent human beings. But I agree it's waaaay too far over the line when they "protect" us from what we KNOW. We know if we want raw milk products. It's a choice. Not quite the same thing as getting some guy's fingers and toes in a hunk of summer sausage.

Oddly enough, the chemical companies can invent all sorts of nasty additives and the food industry in the US is allowed to use them UNTIL they are proven unsafe. The FDA needs to get it's priorities straightened out.

I know there was recently a push to stop raw milk sales at the state level here in CT:

I know my local cooperative, which sells raw milk/milk products was really pushing members to contact legislators.

If memory serves, it didn't pass.

I agree that it seems okay for chemical companies to contaminate my food supply with whatever they want WITHOUT my knowledge but if I choose to eat or drink something that MIGHT be contaminated with something that at least I'm aware of and understand the risks to, it's my own business and my right!

Missouri friends- we need to also pay attention to proposition b on our ballot this year. While it is widely advertised as a way to shut down "puppy mills", the real goal of the organization behind it (hsus) is to gain more control over companion AND farm animals and ultimately remove meat from your plate. If you read up on hsus organization, and by that I mean more than their propaganda, you quickly see them for the extreme control hungry freaks they really are. Hope I don't offend anyone here, but we need less regulation and meddling by the government in all things, not more. And we must make sure that we look at each ballot initiative and vote against ALL expansion of government, no matter how warm and cozy it sounds. moz
BTW- I just bought Jersey number 2 and 3 tonight, so as not to run out of that good healthy,RAW milk...

I completely agree with all of you.
I have a friend close by (Alabama) that has a dairy. He has a great business but does not sell h is raw milk. I don't know if its because he can't sell it or he just doesn't sell it. I'm pretty sure he can't sell it. He does however trade for it. I trade veggies weekly for our milk and eggs.
I cannot tolerate milk purchased from the grocery. Physically cannot tolerate it. I have never had a problem with the raw milk that we drink at home. It also has a completely different flavor in my opinion. shannon

Hi. I entered the forum because I wanted to know if you could use pasturized milk to make cheese but found this thread instead. In Canada it is illegal to sell whole or raw milk to the public, (Actually, dairy farmers can only sell milk to marketing boards that in turn sell to dairies.) BUT not illegal to consume it (and if you think that's stupid it also works the same with pot and prostitution)....anyway, many farmers and groups attempt to circumvent this silliness. It is also not illegal for the owner of the cow and immediate family to consume raw milk so one farmer - Micheal Scmidt - offered part ownership of a cow for a onetime "membership fee" of $300 thus allowing the part owner to have access to raw milk. Of course he was charged.... but aquitted as....

Justice of the Peace Paul Kowarsky upheld the legislation, but said in this case Mr. Schmidt did not break the law because he was distributing to joint owners of cows and not the public at large.
