Athens, GA Raw Milk Seizure, Part One

On October 15, 2009, agents for the Georgia State Department of Agriculture searched our truck without a warrant and seized 110 gallons of raw milk purchased by a number of individuals at a USDA Grade A fully licensed raw milk dairy in South Carolina.

The agents were not able to haul the milk away themselves, so they left it impounded on the truck. Four days later, they returned along with a federal agent from the Food & Drug Administration to force those individuals to destroy the milk they had purchased.

So, I can buy cigarettes, liquor, and fireworks and travel across state lines...and put that filth and poison into my body and add dangerous emissions and chemicals into the environment, but I can't drink, fresh, clean, raw milk???

I need a license to make cheese now? What next? Am I going to need a license to keep my chickens and eat their eggs, and one to grow my vegetables and eat them? Will I not be allowed to buy fresh veggies and eggs from farm stands unless the farm is licensed???

This morning we had a boil water alert in our community, somehow the State/County run water supply was contaminated. I wonder where the FEDS were. They certainly were not telling the State/County to shut down the Facility.

What next, my well water to be regulated? Can't consume my own Veggies.

This is all part of Monsanto and the FDA plan to kill Farmer Joe.

Raw milk is legal for "Pet Food"in Ga. Find a Ga farmer that offers a cowshare and say its for your animals. It was the interstate traffic that made it a federal thing. Some states are required to color the milk with charcoal, but not Ga. At least not yet.

Do you work for the government?

Do you work for the government? Because you say your not against people purchasing raw milk but you continue to display a negative view on it and then try to label people who support raw milk sale and production as "fringe activists".
