It is a sad fact of modern life that seemingly everything is both heavily regulated by the government and politicized. This applies to, yes, even cow’s milk. Witness the case of Wisconsin farmer Vernon Hershberger, who was prosecuted for selling raw milk to willing consumers — in this case friends and neighbors:
The Wall Street Journal reports:
MoreJurors found Vernon Hershberger, a 41-year-old Loganville, Wis., farmer, innocent of producing milk without a license, selling milk and cheese products without a license, and operating a retail establishment without a license. He was found guilty of one count of breaking a holding order issued by the state in June 2010, which barred him from moving any of the food he produced without a license.

Exactly why does the Obama regime want to control and micro manage our food supply?
Insane.
More citizens should know that they don't have to find the accused guilty of ANYTHING, no matter what the prosecutors say or what the evidence is. Perfectly legal and just. The government, of course, has made it ILLEGAL for the defense to TELL that to jurors (I wonder why....), but it IS perfectly legal. Jurors can exercise their common sense and recognize the total stupidity of the governments attempts to hammer down any dissent. Jury nullification. Use it more.
