Farmer-consumer group challenges FDA authority to ban interstate raw-milk sales

'The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund is taking on the Big Enchilada in the raw milk war: the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s prohibition on interstate shipment of raw milk.

The FTCLDF filed suit over the weekend in U.S. District court against FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg, and the secretary of the FDA’s parent agency, Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, challenging the constitutionality of the agency’s prohibition, enacted in 1987.

It filed the suit on behalf of consumers and a farmer from six different states; the consumers all travel from states where raw milk sales are illegal to buy it in states where it’s allowed for sale and the farmer sells to out-of-state consumers.'

FDA Raids Amish Farm for Raw Milk

Beware! Amish Raw Milk Terrorists Threaten USA...

'The FDA Gestapo's real mission is to stomp out 'Health Freedom' in America -- under the guise of 'PROTECTION' and 'SAFETY,' of course. In reality the FDA operates as a fascist, 'profit-protection-racket' for Big Pharma and Big Agribusiness.'

What other reason could there be for raiding an Amish farm for the—Gulp! Horrible crime of raw milk! Run for the hills! Those Amish folk just may have the ultimate weapon.'

''Joking aside, the FDA really did try to raid an Amish farm for raw dairy. Rather than retelling the tale, here it is as first told by Deborah Stockton:

'In what used to be a free country it seems the FDA even want the Amish to stop drinking raw milk. In a total disregard for his health freedom, agents of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) came onto the property of Amish farmer Dan Allgyer, without permission, claiming to be conducting an investigation gents Joshua Schafer and Deborah Haney, from the Delaware FDA office, drove past Allgyer’s "No Trespassing" signs and up his driveway almost to his barn, where Allgyer happened to be outside.

'Allgyer approached the car, the agents got out and Allgyer asked them why they were there. They produced a piece of paper, asked Allgyer if he was Dan Allgyer, which Allgyer confirmed, asked him his middle initial and phone number, entered the information on the paper, told Allgyer they were there to do an inspection and started reading the paper to him, saying it gave them jurisdiction to be there.'
