Raw foods! Simply unbelievable! EITHER WE ARE FREE OR WE ARE NOT!
Raw milk raids are happening all over the United States. The Food and Drug Administration warns that raw milk consumption can cause health problems, but a growing community of raw foods enthusiasts are ignoring government recommendations and claiming that they are getting tastier, more nutritious food by going raw.
Reason.tv visited Rawesome to examine the circumstances of the raid and discovered that this particular raw foods case stretches across county lines and involves at least five separate government agencies, despite the fact that not a single member of Rawesome has complained or been harmed by the raw foods. In fact, members have to sign a contract stating that they understand and accept the risks of consuming raw foods before they are allowed to step inside.
If members of a private club sign a waiver stating that they want to drink a certain type of milk, why is the government getting involved? As Jarel Winterhawk, a manager at Rawesome, puts it, “This is America. How are you going to tell me what I can and cannot eat?”
This is very simple. We have, as a nation, sadly accepted a premise that the government has a right to protect us from ourselves. This is where acceptance of such a premise leads. Once you allow government to control things about your personal life they have no right to control, the flood gates of tyranny open!

Ah yes… the FOOD NAZIS! How’s that “hope and change” workin’ out for ya?
Not well at all
Interesting. Did you know 17 restaurants in America are allowed to serve Fugu, or the extremely poisonous blowfish?
My guess is, the government could care less people are drinking raw milk, its that they dare do so without permission from Big Brother.
Like all governments throughout history, ours wants power and control over its cattle, er, subjects. I mean citizens. Our Founders warned us, we didn’t listen. Our Founder’s went to war against their own government, we trusted it and adopted “leaders” instead. Now our bankrupt nation has effectively become a police state. Sad. Very sad.
