FDA Says You Have No Right to Real Food Unless They Give You Permission First

[scianto]

This is not a joke.

"They believe you have no absolute right to any raw unprocessed food, unless the FDA says it’s okay
They believe you have no right to good health, except as approved by the FDA
They believe that there is no right for citizens to contract privately for their food"

and

"If you try to purchase a gallon of raw milk in the majority of U.S. states, you could be taken away in handcuffs … literally."

So, if you are not allowed to choose your food and care about your health according to what you know that is best for you ...
... how about your rights?

First of all they're speaking about Milk.  Second of all those comments on the website seem hell-bent on obscuring that fact...

Third, its Milk?

Has anyone stopped to think about taking a tit out of their mouth all together?

And Cheese...just rotten milk.  Rotten!     ....Have we stopped to considered the possibility that it might be bad for us in the first place; there are other sources of calcium you know.

I've seen one or two people addicted to milk - it's sad.  Most of them have bladder problems too - odd no?

Milk is just a catalyst for the rest of the food. You really dont expect them to put theyre foot down on milk but forget about meat, do you...

It all fits in well with the Obama nanny state. Obamacare will take care of you at the hospital and the FDA will force you to eat how they want you to. Afterall, how could any of us possibly live without the government holding our hands. In the america i thought i knew, or maybe the america from 50 years ago, you would be able to ingest any food from the farm because Its Your Own Body. You would be able to drive your car without getting a fine for not wearing a seat belt because Its Your Own Body. How you eat and how you ensure your own safety is your OWN choice.

America isnt what it used to be. Soon it will be Little Europe.

SO long as there are men with guns hunting deer, there's not going to be much in the way of 'all this'.  There's going to be gruesome legislation if you're right.  There's already powere that can take everything you own when you hunt out of season. 

Milk has seen it's days - I'm still not sure why you think it's a catalyst; there are much worse looking legislative acts out there.  People have died because of unprocessed Milk, that's why they process it.

The regulation is almost entirely due to commerce - ... the diary farmer can drink milk from his own cow without these regulations.  And that's that.  There's no law saying he can't.

But when one sells it to another with US money, then it becomes the government's business - this is just a side effect of our system; it's the inherent buldge because when someone gets hurt by whatever-it-is, they usually ask for money, not more of whatever-it-is, and then it gets handled by the courts, etc.

- - -

the seatbelt thing:  if you don't want to wear one, then don't, ..and get fined, etc.  But I don't want to be hit by your flying body when you get into an accident, but I fell your dilemma there.  I don't want to see you cut in half by one either.

Well now they say if you want to eat healthy you have a eating disorder. I'm on a prescribed heart healthy diet. Does that mean I have a eating disorder?

The (farms are not credible businesses.) giant farms they have just brought you, One million pound beef recall, 380 million egg recall, 380 thousand pounds of lunch meat recall. I think it's a shame they call these places farms. I think animal mills might be a more descriptive name. These animals stand in their own fecal pile all there lives. With prion disease around that does not bode well with me. My personal opinion is Monsanto needs run off the planet. And Congress shouldn't be butting in at all. Most of their experts couldn't keep a garden alive. Let the people decide what to buy to eat. We keep hearing that the nation is free enterprise. Where is free enterprise represented by a law like this one? This law and many like it seem only to support monopolies and monopolies are and have been illegal for over a century.

With millions of people out of work in this country you would think they would encourage agriculture in this country. Instead they would encourage you not to do anything to make your situation better.
