Amish Threat To Wisconsin

An Amish farmer was convicted of a crime of moving some of his product form one place to another.   He did nothing else wrong, just moved some raw milk.  For this he faces a year in prison and a $10,000 fine.  Why did the jury not simply nullify the state case?

Many mainstream dairies and public-health officials have long warned of raw milk's health concerns and see that, as well as its potential to steal away market share, as threats to the industry. "It's impossible to make an unsafe product safe," said Shawn Pfaff, spokesman for the Wisconsin Safe Milk Coalition, an industry lobbying group opposed to raw-milk sales. "We strongly urge lawmakers to keep it illegal to sell raw milk in Wisconsin to protect the state's $27 billion dairy industry and the public health of its residents."

An amazing internal contradiction, and a gaffe!  (A gaffe is when a politician accidentally tells the truth.)

First the internal contadiction: the spokesperson for the Wisconsin Safe Milk Coalition claims it is impossible to make milk safe.  Wait, what?  If you guys make milk safe (in your biased opinion), how can in not be made safe?  Shawn Pfaff sounds like Charlie Manson at a parole hearing.

The gaffe is the truth: this is about Amish stealing market share from the state's 27 billion dairy industry.  Yes, indeed, big milk and big govt are one.

Big milk cannot win by marketing, so they must win by destroying the Amish.

First they came for the Amish, and I didn't speak out because I was not Amish...  and I have completely been brainwashed that raw milk is dangerous....

Just as the FDA elements put cyanide in Chilean grapes, it is only a matter of time that "inspectors" introduce something nasty into raw milk somewhere.  To protect the food supply we need complete separation of food and state.
