Nanny State PING!
Tell me we don't have a cancer of a gubmint on our hands.
HUMAN breast milk is raw milk, too.
his customer base rallied on the Capitol’s grounds Monday to demand that Congress rein in the food police.
I believe this is the real issue. For some reason, control freaks are not happy unless they are telling somebody how to live. Actually, the problem isn't that they offer advice, it's that they insist on forcing their way of life on others.
They need to get lost.
It’s always going to be properly labeled. Let people drink raw milk if they wish! SHEESH, the nanny state sucks.
Today it’s raw milk, tommorrow it could be the tomatos growing in my back yard.
I would be careful about drinking raw milk from sources I don’t know or trust. But there’s nothing better or healthier for you than raw milk if you can trust the source.
I would imagine that most Amish farmers can be trusted to know how to do this sort of thing. I just wouldn’t trust a big factory farm I didn’t know, in some other state. But I trust my neighbors here in Vermont, or the local farmers.
Raw milk in Maryland for Marylanders = good. Raw milk from outside of Maryland = bad.
I have to wonder just how many people even know what it means to “pasteurize” milk.
All you’re doing is killing the bacteria.
All the cream is still there, all the taste is still there.
The bacteria in raw milk doesn’t come from inside the cow.
This may be the first time on FR that the accused really is Amish!
Oooohhh, scary raw milk. Our government gone to far for to long, this is just plan nuts.
>> the government moved to shut down Amish farmer Dan Allgyer for selling fresh, unpasteurized milk across state lines,
Can’t they just use Undocumented transportation? /s
Incidentally, here in Missouri, you can only buy raw milk directly from the farmer, so there are farmers that sell their milk in parking lots of friendly establishments straight to their customer lists. And there are MANY people on the wait lists to get raw milk from these farmers. It's really rather ridiculous.
That statement is factually incorrect. Pasteurization removes key digestive enzymes from the milk that allows people who are lactose intolerant to digest the milk without issue.
I have mixed feelings about this. The reason milk was regulated to begin with is because many diseases were spread by unpasturized milk. I know T.B. for one was thought to be spread that way, and I think other serious illnesses of the time were also linked to milk. When families had a milk cow and truly drank the milk they milked fresh daily I don’t think there were many issues. When dairies started having many cows to produce milk for many people and it had to be transported that process makes it more likely for the milk to make people sick.
What’s being left unsaid is Mr. Allgyr’s actions bypass the “dairy industry” and the huge bureaucracy created to manage it.......
If “raw” milk was dangerous no dairy farmers’ families would exist !! Most, if not all, of the “concerns” expressed by the “nannies” no longer exist, thanks to refrigeration and modern dairy equipment. These days milk goes from “tit to glass” without ever having been exposed to stable “contaminants”. IOW doesn’t matter if that cow steps in s**t on her way to the milking parlor. Once there the udder and teats, (to give them their proper nomenclature), are washed and sanitized. Milk is piped in glass/stainless steel from teat to storage while being examined/filtered enroute.
Lactating mammels’ milk contains bacteria enabling its digestion. Pasteurization kills them. “Homogenization” breaks up the natural fat globules into such small size some experienced dairmen feel they can pass - undigested - into the bloodstream.....shortcircuiting the very process the bacteria nature intended the bacteria to perform.....
Small wonder we have so many “lactose intolerant” people. Their gut lacks the natural bacterial flora neccessary to digest milk. >PS
A government out of control. No chit!! You can thank all the RINO’s who voted for the Food Safety Act. It gives the FDA unlimited powers of search and seizure and you have no judicial redress.
There is going to come a tipping point here shortly as the govt gets in everyone’s face one time too many. Americans are not used to a boot on their throat.
