The fascists are now after food...

In Los Angeles County and San Diego County there have been attempts to confiscate raw milk from homes.  Read this article, spread the word, this must be stopped.  Most market chicken is more dangerous than any raw milk. Posted on Dreamwidth

reading on, there does appear to be very strong epidemiological evidence that their raw products were the cause of at least 5 children in various parts of the state coming down with e. coli infections, and a court order to cease distribution, quarantine, and recall the products that may have been disobeyed.

In a case like that, I don't mind seeing the government step in.

The quarantine order came following a notification from the California Department of Public Health of a cluster of five children who were infected, from August through October, with the same strain of E. coli O157:H7. These children are residents of Contra Costa, Kings, Sacramento, and San Diego counties. Interviews with the families indicate that the only common reported food exposure is unpasteurized (raw) milk from Organic Pastures dairy. Three of the five children were hospitalized with hemolytic uremic syndrome, a serious condition that may lead to kidney failure. There have been no deaths. Surveys indicate that only about three percent of the public report drinking raw milk in any given week so finding 100% of these children drank raw milk and the absence of other common foods or animal exposures indicates the Organic Pastures raw milk is the likely source of their infection.
