Schmidt is a hero and a champion of individual rights and freedoms.

Why don't we hear anything about a ban on cold cuts?

the reason the government of CANADA has you under attack is because what passes for government in this country is in fact a banker/lawyer criminal cabal

the reason these people are attacking you and doing things like trying to push through bill c51 is because they want to control the food supply. if you control the food, you control everything..

Canada is under attack by a foreign owned British Corporation called CANADA that attacks us through our courts under 'colour and guise of law'

In the UK we are allowed to sell raw milk after additional testing and we must adhere to a strict parlour cleanliness, the thing is it is better for you and there is the science to back this up - if you are high risk TB or SP then perhaps vigilance is the best advocate. There is a massive uptake here in the demand for raw milk (thank God) and people are becoming more aware of the benefits which far outweigh any reported disadvantages. Surely it is down to personal choice and i support this guy..

@VEVOTHAMIZH Huh? What? Not familiar with small pox and milk. Will have to look it up. Thanks for the tip.

@VEVOTHAMIZH I am sorry the INDIAN solution is this one:

Unmodified+non hybridized+Natural+Olden days' cows = Milk full of enzymes n health and NO Toxic Chemicals.

Now = You know $€ Dense+inhuman+unnatural factory farming=Infested, sinful MILK which will surely need pasteurization.

WHY DO YOU THINK SMALL POX ERUPTED YEARS AGO?

NATURE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO MAKE IT A CURABLE AND ERADICATABLE DISEASE THEN!

Pl let me know, the Canadian indigenous solution for these problems like this one for India /watch?v=tJCAzbRDQ6g&feature=r­elated

@slimdaver It got nothing to do with that people sueing, or health, its all to do with government controlling and sending a warning to anyone who buck the system, that the government have put in place. Sending a swat team to arrest a Harmis farmer, come on. Kids with nut alligies how many people sue peanut farmers. If the product is labeled with health warning they should be covered. Fear is powerful tool in the hands in a government.

All it would take is one child with an immune system problem to die from drinking raw milk. The parents would sue everyone in the universe. That's what's wrong with the world. We need a reliable economical way of proving there is no harmful bacteria in a raw milk sample.

No Farms No Food!!!!!!

I've drank gallons of raw milk over the years and, have never gotten sick. It's also sad that government police forces are so militarized and, hold military like operations against non-violent "law breakers."

Geting back to raw milk, the producers are small scale farmers that can keep an eye on the entire process, so it can be made as safe as any pasteurized milk.
