Napolitano: Milk and the police state
Last week, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, state troopers and investigators executed a search warrant on the farm of Amos Miller. Miller has been producing fresh unadulterated dairy products and grass-fed beef for 40 years. He does not sell to the public. Rather, he sells only to folks who join his club because they want pure raw dairy products, not pasteurized and not chemically treated, as the state commands.

You have to sell it as "pet milk," or sell shares in a cow. Even a CSA is subject to their intrusion. For as rural as most of PA is, they're hell on farmers and homeschoolers.
ReplyDeleteAnother case of low level bureaucratic gestapo stooges gettin' their jollies.
ReplyDeleteUsed to drink raw milk at my uncle's farm. I've made it over eighty years so far. I guess it could catch up to me yet.
ReplyDeleteHad some right off the cow tit milk once, then had a Taco Bell moment.
ReplyDelete@Luis-Oops!
This has nothing to do with safety in any way.
ReplyDeleteSimply the state doing what govt does. Intrude and ruin.
Way back when, first time I ate breakfast at my uncles farm I was taken aback by the milk being warm. When I asked my mom she told me; ten minutes ago it was in a cow. I probably wouldnt buy unpasteurized milk today, but it’s wrong to stop grown folks from making decisions for themselves and families.
ReplyDeleteI think they no longer have consent of much of the governed. Shit like this is why.
ReplyDeleteI grew up on an organic dairy farm and I drank over a gallon of milk a day when I got into my teens… and civilization has lived on raw milk from biblical times… the issue comes from people being stupid and having unclean conditions for the animals and not cooling the milk properly. The reason they started pasteurizing milk was in the early 1900’s when they had the distillers grain fed to the cows and grew beyond their ability to cool the milk… know your farmer if you get milk or any food for that matter

This is some fucked up, totalitarian shit right here.
ReplyDeleteI've been following this story for several years and joined his club a couple years ago. I never bought anything because the shit's expensive.
Whoops! I tried to login and and they don't remember me. Now, they want $35 to join. If that's what it takes to circumvent the feds - good for them.
They do sell weird stuff like Camel milk, in case you were jonesing.
My wife buys raw milk here in town; uses it to make yogurt (can't stand the stuff myself). Yep, I've had raw milk right out of the cow. Couldn't have been fresher unless I sucked on one of the teats. Prefer it separated from the fat and cold myself.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing about raw milk: the lactose intolerant can drink it. Last raw milk I was getting came from a guy who was L.I., he told me the little bugs in it are what makes it work. My friends sis was L.I, she hadn't drank milk in many years, man was she happy! Those little brown Jersey cows are the world's best milk makers!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll have to try it.
DeleteIt's not about safety. The Jabs are well established as dangerous, but you know the people pushing this are ProJab.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the gov biz what we Humans decide to put in our bods. If someone thinks natural milk is better, then go for it. I grew up with dairy cows producing for the local firm and serving our needs. I think it contributed to my families health. The gov needs to butt out!
ReplyDeleteYou have to watch these people. First they are selling raw milk to people who want it. Next they are over throwing the government. Tricky son of guns. You have to keep these people under your thumb. We use to make blood sausage and head cheese from the pigs we had when I was younger. Wish I had those recipes for nostalgia sake.
ReplyDeleteGrew up on raw milk, loved it fresh and warm from the cow. County sent inspectors around regularly to make sure we were running a clean operation and could sell grade a milk. Of the best things about real milk was when it went sour, we had the best pancakes you could imagine.
ReplyDeleteThe state police are the tip of the spear and ALWAYS follow orders
ReplyDeleteI have heard of a place ya go to the milk house, fill your container with milk, drop some bucks in a box and leave. Farmer is never anywhere around. It's all locals. I was born on a dairy and weened on fresh milk. Homemade butter too. The farm was sold when I was four but I spent the summers at my grandparents dairy. Fresh milk, homemade butter and lots of vegetables fresh from the garden.
