The Food Police Are Now The Reality
Mike Adams reports at Natural News that the feds are going after both the people who want to buy raw milk and the people who want to sell it to them:
In a bombshell revelation of the depth of the food police state that now exists in LA County, California, NaturalNews has learned that the LA County health department has unleashed door-to-door raw milk confiscation teams to threaten and intimidate raw dairy customers into surrendering raw milk products they legally purchased and own.According to Mark McAfee (see quotes below), both LA County and San Diego county have attempted to acquire customer names and addresses from Organic Pastures (www.OrganicPastures.com) for the sole purpose of sending "food confiscation teams" to customers' homes to remove the raw milk from customers' refrigerators. Using both phone calls and home visits, these teams intimidate customers and try to force them to give up their milk.
These revelations have surfaced in a recorded NaturalNews interview with Mark McAfee, the founder of Organic Pastures and a food rights advocate. Here's what he told us:
LA County health enforcers go door to door, demanding your fresh milk
"I received a phone call yesterday morning from a wonderful young gal, a 36-year-old mom out of LA County. She's one of our UPS customers that we deliver overnight raw milk to her house. When the CDFA was in here the other day on our recall, they demanded to have all our delivery addresses for overnight UPS delivery. We screwed up and [inadvertently] gave it to them, they got it from one of our secretaries here. The LA County health department started calling her, six or seven times, demanding that she give up her raw milk from her own home to the health department.
She refused, then they showed up at her house and demanded that she give her raw milk to them. She was getting ready to call 911 for the Sheriff's department and have them removed from her front doorstep, and she was threatening to use her camera to take a picture of them and post it on Facebook for harassing her over her raw milk... The investigators left after she told them she was not going to give them the raw milk and to get the Hell off her property.
This is what's going on, it's like food Nazis, it's incredible what these people are doing, trying to collect food from people's houses, that have not made them ill!
Then the San Diego health department called me up and said oh we want a list of all your buyer's club members, and I said no... and they said we want all their addresses and their names, because we want to go to their homes. I said it ain't happening, we aren't going to give it to you."
If the guy has the video of this interview, he should post it so there's more than a printed allegation. But, here's a posting from 2004 at FarmFreedom.org that names a name:
Aggressive and forceful raids against America's small farms, farmers, co-ops and private buying clubs by state and federal regulatory agencies, updated as new information becomes available. Spring 2004 - Organic Pastures - California Without notice, the FDA in association with state agencies visited Organic Pastures Dairy Company (OPDC) and carried out a multi-day investigation. The initial authority provided at arrival was suggested that the FDA was visiting to look at cheese production. On the second day of the inspection/ investigation an FDA investigator (Special Agent Jennifer King) was found secretly and illegally rapidly taking pictures of customer files of PET food sales and colostrum sales. OPDC demanded that the FDA leave and return the next day so that OPDC attorneys could respond to the illegal and unauthorized taking of customer data and file information. The FDA was found illegally operating outside of its jurisdiction, they were very embarrassed and did not return for five years.
Here's a legal notice Organic Pastures was forced to post.
Ron Paul on the FDA going out of control on raw milk drinkers:







First they came for the raw milk drinkers...
Guess I better pick up some more ammo for the rifle.

Absolutely ridiculous, especially considering the relatively lax laws in California regarding the sales of raw milk! The government is completely out of control. I could see confiscation if raw milk were illegal in California but it's not. I have relatives in Wisconsin and they told me raw milk was illegal and that included drinking raw milk from your own personal cow and that they can come confiscate your cows if they find you in violation. You don't even have to be selling it, which is illegal there too.

Beware of strong milk. For it may cause you to shoot at the food police...and miss.
Hat tip to some guy named Heinlein.
(and good for that lady telling them to get the hell off her land)

Always beware of milk.
This war on raw milk is just stupidity.

Oh and Beware the Amish Bearing Raw Milk

They're missing out on a huge opportunity here. They could expand the TSA and send their agents out to shake down and intimidate citizens in the name of safety. We could call them Dairymen, just to give it that futuristic dystopic flair.
Or they could just hire mobsters to come and start breaking kneecaps.

I don't think many of these revenuer statist thugs understand the road they're heading down. The day that one of these bureaucrats goes too far and gets shot, you'll have millions cheering. I'll be one of them.

This is such a simple thing I'm amazed that this is going on.
As long as the inspector can see it going from farm to market - as opposed to going through factories with processes which hide the production chain - they should give this a pass. I mean, go check the farm out, their gear is clean, their animals are happy, the grass isn't loaded with pesticide, done.
Inspection is still called for when the buyer cannot make a determination that something is safe to eat or drink.
The misbehavior of the agency is cause to kick them in the nuts for not doing their basic job, not stop consumer protections.
