The FDA won its two-year fight to shut down an Amish farmer who was selling fresh raw milk to eager consumers in the Washington, D.C., region after a judge this month banned Daniel Allgyer from selling his milk across state lines and he told his customers he would shut down his farm altogether.
The decision has enraged Mr. Allgyer's supporters, some of whom have been buying from him for six years and say the government is interfering with their parental rights to feed their children.
But the Food and Drug Administration, which launched a full investigation complete with a 5 a.m. surprise inspection and a straw-purchase sting operation against Mr. Allgyer's Rainbow Acres Farm, said unpasteurized milk is unsafe and it was exercising its due authority to stop sales of the milk from one state to another.

Is anybody paying attention? The Federal Government is becoming an ever larger threat to the individual rights of its citizens. How long are we going to allow the government to make decisions for us about what we can and cannot eat? How long will it be before they tell us what we can and cannot read, watch, hear, write, visit, own, think etc. We better take a stand before it's too late.
I am paying attention, and this is just appalling! It is getting worse and worse.
Joe, did you post the story about the NC daycare/pre schools? Apparently they now feel they have the right to search your kids lunch boxes to make sure you are packing what they feel is the appropriate foods.
It is unbelievable!
Amazing-country is going to hell but this farmer won't be selling milk any more. What do you think that sting operation cost us in tax dollars? Lets address the real issues and leave this poor farmer alone. It is so sad.
Apparently the right to privacy does not include the refrigerator.
(BTW, I have been to this man's farm -- a marvelously clean, well-run operation.)
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."
So....whan does it begin? And don't give me the line of B/S about the voting booth.
