“Milk and Cookies” Could Get Moms Arrested

The Press Release below tells of the anger of mothers who are being kept from having raw milk because the FDA thinks it is dangerous. That same FDA allows all sorts of unhealthy food to be sold everywhere. They don’t complain about the ubiquitous high fructose corn syrup that is in so much of our food. They don’t mind that people smoke and drink alcohol. Yet they feel that people do not have the right to eat food that is raw and pure. The fact that people used to drink nothing but raw milk does not matter. They are so afraid of the fact that in the past there were some outbreaks of disease attributed to raw milk, that they have caused it ALL to be considered inedible.

Is this sort of control, what you want from our government?

?Milk and Cookies? Could Get Moms Arrested

Mothers to Break Federal Raw Milk Transport Ban

Washington DC – The beloved American tradition of milk and cookies is a crime for some mothers, according to the Farm Food Freedom Coalition, organizers of a planned civil disobedience on November 1. A US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation makes the transport of raw milk intended for human consumption across state lines illegal, even for individuals purchasing it legally in one state and carrying it into the states where they live.

On Tuesday, November 1, 2011, a group of moms will challenge the FDA?s ban on interstate transport of raw milk by picking up fresh milk in Pennsylvania, transporting it to Maryland, then distributing it, along with cookies, in front of FDA headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland at a rally from 12:00 -3:00pm.

After numerous armed federal assaults and undercover investigations on farmers, coops and buying groups that supply their raw milk, mothers across the country are disgusted with the FDA?s aggression and ready to take action to protect their families? food.
?By criminalizing me for the food choices I make for my family, the FDA is effectively saying that I have no right to feed my family what I, as the parent, know is best for them,? says Suzy Provine, one of the ?raw milk freedom riders? who chooses fresh milk for her family. ?It is one thing to inform me about my choices, but the FDA goes too far by forcing what they think is best on my family.?
The FDA is disrupting thousands of families’ food supplies by pressuring states to restrict access to raw dairy. States like Wisconsin and California are shutting down family farms by threatening penalties and jail for farmers.
