NC Raw Milk

This story is for those people who think the people of North Carolina have any freedom at all. It's just beyond comprehension to someone who wants a country that is based on freedom. Apparently, at least in North Carolina, if someone milks a cow, you're not allow to buy that milk from them. Yes, the North Carolina government actually had discussions about your right to buy milk from someone. Wow.

But to show even more insanity, did you know there are "Raw milk activists?" Holy crap. I just seriously cannot imagine what planet these Democrats live on. They actually believe it is dangerous and that it's their job to STOP people from buying milk from a cow. I'm speechless. Just holy crap.

Even worse, there's actually an underground economy for milk! Seriously, if you want to buy raw milk, you have to act like a drug dealer and make secret deals in the night! How incredibly insane is this?

Un-freakin-believable. I wonder how soon before they make it illegal to even DRINK milk in North Carolina. Go ahead, try and convince me you have any freedom in this state. Give it a shot.

1 Here you have to be registered to sell it and then people have to sign up with you to buy it special. But, once you drink raw milk, you won't ever want store-bought milk again!

2 Ogre, you are looking at this the wrong way.

There is plenty of freedom left there, but it is all in the freedom one has to take freedoms away from people.

See?

People are free to take freedoms away, they just aren't free to do anything else, but boy is there a lot of that other freedom happening there.

3 Maybe over regulation and a black market for
Raw Milk adds to the excitement of drinking it?
You know like Prohibition and Speak Easys???

I do imagine it comes down to the FDA stuff.
Cleanliness of equippment, temperature of product, processing methods, etc... all the things Corporate Dairy farms have to comply with. I remember going out in the country to buy fresh eggs from a farmer and fresh sweet corn too.
Wonder if the "Corporate Farmer Lobby" will be all over that too? Soon we will all have to have a license to sit down and eat in a resturant, maybe even a "gathering permit".
This dumb stuff starts in one state and spreads into the others in no time!!!! LOL!!!!

4 I imagine there's some attraction due to the thrill of drinking illicit milk...

But sure, the government claim that we're too dumb to drink raw milk and we'll all die if we do, so therefore they have to stop us. Since before pasturation, after all, everyone who drank milk did die, you know. Well, according to government, anyway.
