For many years, Citizens lived under a law that prohibited West
Virginia residents from co-owning dairy livestock for the purpose of being able
to use their animals’ milk without pasteurization.
Let us face a stark fact. America has turned into a police nation. We have
sat by and allowed this to happen with almost no fight. The so called “Food Freedom Fight,” a movement spearheaded
by small farmers nationwide, is one of many movements birthed out of too many
years of silence by too many Americans.
While we slept, we lost liberty after liberty with almost no
protest. We backslid.
Unless you were already familiar with the Food Freedom
movement, how many of you would have believed that any state in the nation
would be so bold as to create a law that says an American citizen could not
enter into a private contract to co-own and co-use livestock to gain a
traditional food?
Would have believed that an entire government system was actually so broken and oppression-minded, they feel they MUST protect the people from “the people” by dictating where your food can originate and how we MUST cook it? I must have misread our Founding Fathers . . . I could have sworn it was. . . “By the people,” “For the people.”
Someone is confused here.

Here is a fact: Farm to consumer
sales of all types are wrapped up in economics.
This is a corporate oligopoly (a few entities dominating an industry) the American government is protecting; this revolves around the 80 billion dollar a year dairy industry which buys milk from dairy farmers for as little as a $1.00 a gallon.
Keep in mind, many of these dairy farms run at such a loss, so they operate on tax payer funded welfare known as “Agriculture subsidies”. These dairy farmers cannot make a living, but they have no option for their milk sales outside of selling to these few companies, huge conglomerates like Kraft.
So they continue to sell at poverty prices. The massive buyers of most all of the milk produced across the nation work hard to keep this multi billion dollar industry unable to operate without them.
They pour money into lobbying against small farmers and consumers. They see that the FDA and CDC and state Health Department propagate Real milk (raw) as dangerous to the public; they tout it as a volatile product that must be heavily regulated. Of course they do, this works in their interest. Remember, this is about 80 BILLION dollars a year. People believe the propaganda, as people as usually want to do.
Here we are.

What happens if raw milk sales
suddenly becomes legal across the county? Not mass illness because we can see
from current numbers of the CDC and FDA that raw milk is as safe as most any unprocessed food. What does happen is the market
controlled by Mass Corporations see some of their dairy farmers skipping the
middle man and selling direct. Selling for not $1 per gallon but $10 per
gallon.
The actions by the government on our food system are not some type of unimportant change a fringe
group has taken up to care about of no significance.
Last time I checked, small farmers built this nation and feed this nation. Fringe group?
Hardly.
American farmers have been terrorized for decades across this county by the FDA and state law enforcement for simply selling real milk to informed Americans who desire to use it. There are no shortage of stories, though they fail to make the headlines in this biased Media environment. The steps that have been taken systematically over many years concerning where our food comes from is one of American Government siding with huge industry over the citizen.
Our wildly out of control government is demanding our food go through a middle man in order to assure mass profit to huge corporations.

Please realize this is about controlling that most important
aspect of day to day life: Sustenance.
Control Food = Control Everything.
Control Food = Control Everything.
Our most basic freedoms are eroded more and more each day. We
sit back and talk and grumble. Some find themselves too disillusioned to even
care anymore.
But when consuming a traditional food becomes a hot bed for Civil Disobedience, We have to realize this Nation is already half way to hell.
Who cares about the Farmer, who cares about Freedom, anymore?
Many Politicians and Corporations across this county put stock in the hope that YOU do not care.
When one says American Farmers’ Survival does not matter, Americans’ choice concerning what they eat is trivial, one needs to also accept that it will hardly be long before the same tyranny which robbed that Farmer of his survival is going to be knocking at your door.
