FDA milk ban has consumers sour

By William R. Toler

Recent statements by the Food and Drug Administration have natural food advocates crying out over raw milk.

In a dismissal brief to a lawsuit brought against the FDA by the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, the agency asserts that people “do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish.”

The suit was brought against the federal agency for its interstate ban on raw milk sales.

There has been a rise in individuals and families preferring to solicit their groceries from local farms and farmers markets instead of the processed foods being peddled by the corporate chains.

Unpasteurized milk, farm-fresh eggs and vegetables straight from the garden are believed to be much healthier and taste better than their mass-produced and sometimes genetically-modified counterparts.

FDA “experts” and those who drink the government’s Kool-Aid claim that the natural foods which haven’t been processed for your protection will harm you.
