Guest guest Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I've been hoping things would resolve but it's just gotten worse. As many of you know, the persecuted Canadian raw dairy farmer MICHAEL SCHMIDT has responded to the chronic, almost decade-long, unfair governmental abuse in the only way one can when one feels down to the last straw. He is in the 26th day of a hunger fast! This is serious and it's close to life and death for him. He has said that the only thing that will stop him is for the Premier of Canada to just talk with him. People who are working towards freedom to access healthy natural foods, including raw milk, are pleading in mass to get that meeting so Schmidt can stay alive. If you haven't done anything to help, here's where to go for information as to what each of us can do. PLEASE HELP..... http://thebovine.wordpress.com/ OR http://www.traditional-foods.com/announcements/michael-schmidt-hunger-strike/?mi\ d=50 When pure-hearted farmers are being imprisoned, their families are being terrorized, and they are having their farm livelihoods destroyed, SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG. It's time for everyone to now actively join the fight. We need everyone to help..... Please write as soon as possible, Will Winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Here's what I wrote, please feel free to borrow and reuse: Why in the world are producing raw milk, making it available to those who voluntarily choose it, and consuming it such a problem for government regulation folk? Clean raw milk is what human beings have drunk for millenia, ever since human beings inhabited the earth. It has been clearly established to do a lot more to promote health than any pasteurized, homogenized or otherwise processed milk. (Francis Pottenger MD did studies in the 1940's with cats and raw milk/meat vs cooked; look around you and see who's healthy and who's not, whose teeth are well shaped and free of cavities naturally.) The real problem is that those who have confined animals to CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feedlot Operations) don't want to be shown up for the damage they are doing - to the animals by confining them in unnatural, disease generating, circumstances - by feeding grass eating animals corn, thus leading to an imbalance in the fatty acids in their tissues, disturbing their metabolism extensively – if they can live long enough for it to be evident - to people via reducing the food available to feed them to unhealthy, fatty acid unbalanced, pesticide, hormone and antibiotic laden meat and dairy products, “edible” only if heavily heated and processed - to communities by destroying their habits and social structure via the unhygienic stench and pathogen laden CAFO operations - to the environment by putting huge and unbalanced amounts of manure, urine, corpses and other toxins into the soil, the air, the water – be it directly or indirectly, and conveniently “externalizing” their costs to the taxpayer and all affected by the pollution (all of us) - to small scale farmers who could be the basis of a truly healthy and self-sustaining economy if government regulations and harassment (*= terrorism*) would only get out of their way - to the economy, by externalizing costs, and perpetuating our dependence on oil, with a huge military effort to keep it flowing Pasteruzation was invented as a way to compensate for very dirty conditions. Modern agricultural practices have taken that to an extreme: very dirty (unsanitary to an extreme, polluting and disease laden) conditions are now the norm, and pasteurization is absolutely necessary for milk produced *under those conditions. *Clean up the dairies, starting with*not * putting small scale farms out of business, and raw milk is nourishing, healing, SAFE. If you don't want to drink raw milk, then don't. Just get past the current and unfounded germ phobia and stop interfering with those who have made informed decisions and voluntarily choose to go out of their way to get clean raw milk for themselves and their consciously cared for families. We won't cause others/you to be sick. We'll probably be the only ones remaining healthy enough to care for those who lose their health by eating factory “food” – people chow?. Exonerate and free Schmidt NOW. On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 9:28 PM, holisticminnesota <holistic@...>wrote: > I've been hoping things would resolve but it's just gotten worse.
