Bravely protecting us from the Amish and their raw milk

Raw Milk Crackdown | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment

“They came in the dark, shining bright flashlights while my family was asleep, keeping me from milking my cows, from my family, from breakfast with my family and from our morning devotions, and alarming my children enough so that the first question they asked my wife was, ‘Is Daddy going to jail?’”


That’s how Amish farmer Dan Allgyer described an early morning visit last week from two FDA agents, two U.S. Marshals, and a Pennsylvania state trooper. Apparently, investigating a single farmer for possibly trafficking raw milk across state lines requires a show of force.

But we were born free.

ihateiraq if you have eaten ceaser salad then you probably have eaten raw eggs [dressing],and i could never stop the children from cleaning out the bowl from cake or Browne mix. It's said by our almighty rulers that it's not safe because of salmonella but i have never known of anyone getting sick personally.

Truly sad.

Our goverment is way too burdensome.

Soon you will be breaking the law if you breathe too many times a day.

Man don't out yourself like that.
It is probably too late already.
I'm sure this is your last post and the black helicopters are above your house.
Nice knowing you.

You guys have it all wrong. Dear leader loves you and wants to protect you from your own bad decisions. Do not question the intentions of he who loves you for he is truly great.

Since about the mid 90's most ceaser dressings don't contain raw eggs. Most decent establishments will bring the egg to your table and have YOU crack it in the bowl before they prepare your dressing to skirt any potentional liability.

From : Incredible Edible Egg | Eggs - eggs & food safety
1 in 20,000 chance of Salmonella.

What they DON'T say is that is for commercially raised chickens fed insane hormones and diet.

I don't have the exact percentage handy for free range chickens, but it is in the magnitude of 1 of 200,000 for risk of Salmonella contamination.

I occasionally shoot a raw egg from FREE RANGE chickens. The health benefits are substaintial.

Pasteurization has some horrible effects on foods and juices. However when it comes to mass production of food, it is a necessary evil because large corporations do not work hard enough to ensure food safety.

That said, if a consenting person wants to drink raw milk or eat a raw egg... WHO CARES?!?!??!

Personal choice and provided the packaging or labeling of the product isn't misleading, again WHO CARES!?!?!?!

BTW Raw milk is delicious. I can't stand the crap they sell in the stores anymore. Same goes for eggs, start eating free range eggs and you won't be able to go back.

One thing I miss about Florida (among many things) is FRESH and unpasteurized orange juice. The stuff sold in the stores varies from nasty to down right disgusting. Again, thanks to mass production, lax safety standards and the necessary pasteurization to protect us from their sloppiness

For all you pasteurization lovers, keep in mind all that produce we eat that never gets pasteurized. Sprays only do so much... look at how few and far between the salmonilla poisionings are there.

Don't even get me started on grain fed beef and the fact your average hamburger contains beef from as many as 1,000 cows!

BOLO for:

These madmen (according to the FBI) are considered peaceful and packing quilts, cheese, and *gasp!* a Bible.

Maybe they like easy targets. You can beat an Amish man to death before he will defend himself. They are often (almost always) pacifists.

Protip: Do not mistake Mennonites for pacifists. While many are also often pacifists, there is an apocryphal story circulating at the college in Ohio that I attended. A group of youths of ill repute were harassing the local Amish. One day, they decided to try and rob a group of Mennonite men. They got their arses beat.

My point of this story... Feds intervene on those they know are easy target.

A shame that Amish are pacifists, most of them are probably harder than coffin nails. Ever shake an Amish man's hand?

Ok, maybe I'm weird, but did no one else watch Rocky for the very first time and then try drinking a glass of raw eggs before a workout? They didn't taste good but I didn't get sick either.

Really dangerous! Can cause all your babies to be born naked.

I work with some amish and milk trafficking is nothing compared to some of the things they do
