Our government at work.
A year-long sting operation came to an end this week. In that time, the government used fake names and surprise inspections all to nab the people at Rainbow Acres Farm in the D.C. area. The reason: they were selling milk.
Unpasteurized milk, to be exact. Asked for comment, the government released this statement: “It is the FDA’s position that raw milk should never be consumed.” Therefore, the Amish farmers at Rainbow Acres had to be brought down.
Asked for comment, one Washington resident stated, “I look at this as the FDA is in cahoots with the large milk producers. I don’t want the FDA and my tax dollars to go to shut down a farm that hasn’t had any complaints against it. They’re producing good food, and the consumers are extremely happy with it."
Is this the government over-reaching? I guess you can decide.

When I was a kid I drank raw milk at my grandparents house, it was very good but I bet if I tried it now it would be too rich for me to handle.Always liked the butter my gerandmother made but could never in my 49 years of life get a sip of buttermilk down which is really butterless milk.
Nanny State PING!
I test positive for TB because my father died of it in 1938,and I had been exposed.
73 years.
“It is the FDA’s position that raw milk should never be consumed.”
If it is good for you the government doesn’t want you to get it.
Ooops. I always get these things wrong ...
Which of course supersedes the opinion and legal rights of their FREAKING SUPERIORS!!!!!
Thanks for the ping!
