“If the people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.”

Lately, the Web has been abuzz with reports of "raids" on health food stores. One such event occurred June 30 at Rawesome Foods in Venice, California. The crime? Selling raw milk. Armed federal, state and local authorities seized raw goat and cow milk and unpasteurized goat cheese, among other things.
Government regulators say they are just enforcing rules to protect consumers (despite that raw milk is nutritionally dense and has been consumed in its raw state for thousands of years) and give producers a level playing field. Store owners beg to differ.
"This is about control and profit, not our health," said Aajonus Vonderplanitz, co-founder of Rawesome Foods. "How can we not have the freedom to choose what we eat?"
Well, I guess next authorities will start seizing cigarettes, alcohol and high fructose corn syrup. I know they'll do this, because the listed items are far more dangerous than unpasteurized milk. The government, Big Pharma and Agribusiness just want us to be healthy. They have our best interests at heart, right?
Oh, wait...
