Judge: Americans have no right to choose food

A Wisconsin judge has decided – in a fight over families' access to milk from cows they own – that Americans "do not have a fundamental right to consume the milk from their own cow."

The ruling comes from Circuit Court Judge Patrick J. Fiedler in a court fight involving a number of families who owned their own cows, but boarded them on a single farm.

The judge said that's a "dairy farm" and is subject to the rules and regulations of the state of Wisconsin.

"It's always a surprise when a judge says you don't have the fundamental right to consume the foods of your choice," said Pete Kennedy, president of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, which worked on the case on behalf of the farmers and the owners of the milk-producing cows.

So - if one party has cows that produces raw milk and another desires to buy it (and accept whatever risk there might be), does the state have the right to deny this?

I personally think you should be able to do this. But that doesn't mean the judge ruled you have no property rights. The judge is bound to follow Wisconsin law.

Yeah, I figured that. I mean expected nothing less of WND hyping this up.

I've just always wanted to use that comment. lol

I’ve not gotten used to the 9 mm -still prefer either a .45 auto—or my old .44 single. Did see a .22 auto displayed once that sounds promising for pure speed- and I don’t anticipate
the Fed getting their panties in a bunch to prohibit the ammo for a varmit gun.

Just contact the DOJ and tell them you are a Mexican cartel member. They’ll give you all kinds of goodies.

It's from an essay in God In The Dock. I've been on a Lewis reading spree for years ;-)
