A small Amish farmer was treated the same as a drug lord selling dangerous drugs, just because he sold raw milk. In other words, his milk was not pasteurized. And for this, the federal government spent tens of thousands of our tax dollars on a year-long investigation of a small farmer. This is not the only case -- it is happening all over the nation.
The same people who eat sushi, steak tartar and raw oysters have made raw milk illegal, regardless of whether it is safe.
The truth is that pasteurization only reduces the chances of milk being contaminated with bacteria. And factory dairies that produce milk in unsafe conditions must pasteurize their milk product because they produce that milk in filthy conditions.
Moreover, who is the government to tell us what kind of food we may or may not eat? They are simply trying to put a stop to the organic food movement and to eliminate small farmers who take a market share away from the corporate factory farms.
In the end, this is a matter of personal choice.

It's a Philip K. Dick World! “Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” —Philip K. Dick Government intrusion into our personal lives is increasing, the economy is shot and the media focus on hate and violence. Philip K. Dick's fifth and last wife, Tessa Dick, talks about her husband. I have my own books and stories, as well.

The concept of personal choice is vanishing.
It started with the smoking ban but nobody wants to hear about that. The same template is now applied to more and more things and still, nobody will see it until it's too late.
It's called 'denormalisation' and leads to blue boiler suits and everyone calling each other 'comrade'.
It always ends in disaster.
Romulus, sadly you are right. Thanx for your comment!
