Pete Kennedy, Esq. | December 29, 2010

On December 21, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2751, the “FDA Food Safety Modernization Act” (formerly S.510). On Sunday night, December 19, the Senate passed FSMA by unanimous consent without a recorded vote after substituting its language in H.R. 2751 (originally titled, “Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act”–one of the “Cash for Clunkers” bills originating in the House in 2009). This maneuver, cynical and underhanded even by Washington standards, could have been stopped by a single Senate Republican but all were silent. FSMA is expected to be signed into law by President Obama sometime next week.

A.C.s New video expose’ “Attack OF THE Killer DO GOODERS: G-MEN VS 21st Century Bootleggers”

Let’s see if it works right this time

I can’t wait to see an Amish guy changing black hats with different logos during the TV interview after winning the Mennonite 500 Buggy Race.

Democrat demographic. I think I’ve read they do vote–and they vote conservatively. The Dems obviously feel no need to pull punches here.

There have been milk safety laws since 1924 that basically all states have adopted, so changes aren’t really a ‘new’ thin.g

The Food Modernization Act prohibited unpasteurized milk from being sold intrastate. Some states still allow for unpasteurized milk to be sold and thats STILL LEGAL. If you read the actual story, this creamery was bottling it in such a way to cover up that it wasn’t pasteurized milk so they could ship it across state lines…thats ILLEGAL.

As well, what is allowed in one state is one thing, but when there is the potential for food borne illnesses to pass to consumers through intrastate commerce, thats where Congress should be regulating.

Pretty sure this is in the constitution…
“To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;”

Whenever I hear of the govt. cracking down on unpasteurized dairy, I’m instantly reminded of an episode of Chef! :

Most people don’t know that the Amish have a normal workday in by noon.

The federal government truly run amok. One would think that lovers of “natural” foods would at least have some scorn for this practice.

Nov 2012 can not come one day to soon. Lets can them all and not kick it down the road.

This week, we will be bottling some home-made wine. Not made from our own grapes (we’re small here – grapes are not ripe this time of year), but made from unpasteurized juice we bought from a wholesaler.

Making wine from pasteurized juice=not possible.

I wonder how long before our esteemed leader will see fit to remove our right to make this wine against the apparent danger that someone might drink the juice we bought for this purpose.

Then they came for the Lemon Aid stands……
Now it’s the Amish Milkmen!
I know, I know…..inflation, skyrocketing energy prices, unemployment and the devaluation of the dollar should be taking a back seat to The Amish Milk Mob.
If it weren’t for the fact that Obama is actively damaging our country this might be amusing considering its stupidity.

All the raw milk sellers have this disclaimer that it’s for pets/animals..
It’s not legal to sell it for human consumption.

and sometimes…..sometimes I even give some too my neighbors.
Ssssshhhhhhhh.

It is confirmed and his body is in American Custody.

Thanks to all the men and women in uniform!

Over the years, I have drunk raw milk, both cow and goat. It is delicious. I majored in animal science and once had a small herd of goats I milked. Owners of milk animals must have their herds tested – Bangs and TB testing. This allows certification which makes the milk safe to drink. It is certainly safer than flouride laced public water. (The goats drank well water, too.)
Of all the people who are honest and pride themselves following God’s laws, they are the least likely to produce tainted products. If the muslims owned goats and drank raw milk, no one would bother them. Can you say dhimmitude? I stand behind the Amish efforts to sell raw milk. I lobbied against the stupid food bill S.510.

is that once again a law gets passed, a very intrusive nanny-state type law, because some industry, group, person has a congress critter in their pocket and wants to tilt the playing field in their favor. We must remember that this law was not passed to truely protect anyone or because the main folks promoting it cared for anyone other than themselves. This law was passed most likely because one or several people got large amounts of campaign cash, favors, etc or perhaps funds were funneled through fake business deals, ‘cheap’ land deals, or any of the innumerable ways that people get paid without really getting paid.
We all know, if we arent’ terribly niave or if we don’t have skin in that game, how these things work. Scoundrals of both parties have shown us time and again. They just wrap these things in high sounding words and self righteousness, but when one looks these laws almost always turn out to be a used diaper wrapped in very expensive wrap.
This is just another reminder of how corrupt this system really is and that, at least to me, is what we really need to be fighting here. People are inherantly corrupt and if you give them power over you they will abuse it, for their own benefit, virtually every time.
This is why the founders, in their incredible wisdom, wanted most power to remain local.

FDA wins War on Unregulated Lemonade Distributors.

This is sad. the amish shouldn’t have to be apart of this countries b.s.

I don’t do milk ever because I can’t tolerate it. BUT I use to buy raw milk from a local dairy farmer for many years until he could no longer sell it to me.
SAD I got it for myself and my son at that time a year old until he was 3 AND it worked for both of us.
It’s so sad and stupid that this country seems to think they have to control EVERYTHING.
Keeping this country safe from all things should mean keeping our MILITARY STRONG GIVING THEM WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP THEM SAFE AND US SAFE. THAT’S WHERE THE MONEY SHOULD BE GOING that these blankety blank politicians are getting in their pockets.

I am so sick of politicians that ARE NOT in office to make life BETTER for those that are willing to work hard AND NOT LIVE OFF THE GOVERNMENTS TIT
