Rawesome Food Raid

Apparently there's videos of the raid, but I can't view them where I'm at presently.



Wonder if its as unjust as the article makes it out to be.

It's almost like we need a nation-wide lesson in risks and rewards. But I don't know how any new ideas would survive the barrage of distortions and hyperbole.

You must have your own cow to ensure yourself a ready supply of raw milk. Even then, I suppose Child Protective Services could swoop in and say you were endangering your child by feeding them milk straight from a cow. If you don't live where you can have your own animals or grow your own food, you pretty much get to eat whatever food corporations want to sell you, as they are lobbying successfully to make ALL the alternatives illegal.

And that suits most people just fine, since most people don't have time to prepare and eat fresh food anyway.

Now that every taxer, every consumer, and every future taxpayer/consumer in America is responsible for the health costs of every individual in America, not to expect a massive wave of new regulations, fines, and restrictions is naive.

Not too hard to see the following in the near future:
the Fat Tax,
the High Colesterol Tax,
the High Blood Suger Tax,
Alcohol Consumption Tax,
Tobacco Consumption Tax,
Sugar Consumption Tax,
Salt Consumption Tax,
High Risk Occupation Tax,
High Risk Genetics Tax (refund available for those who are voluntarily sterilized),
the Horse Riders Tax,
the Motorcycle Riders Tax,
the Gun Owners Tax,
the Campers Tax,
the Women of Child Bearing Age Potential Pregnancy Tax (refund available for those who are voluntarily sterilized),

Additional safety regulations costs and rises in insurance policy premiums should also follow.

The doors have been opened with gleeful abandon, and notihing is off limits now......

Many of those taxes already exist.

its hard not to reduce this back to litigation.. the ability to sue the system if you get a bad cheese that makes you sick.

if people want the ability to win the lottery and retire after striking it rich from a blue vein they need to get ultra steralised and preserved corporate factory foods from people that can afford to be sued.

and yeh, we have all those taxes already, except the genetic risk one - its integrated into the other health taxes at the moment.

my throat is horse from ranting on this topic, the sad fact is we now have a magority of people who either work for the social engineering industries (tax payer funded) or who approve of the church, i mean government, dictating the moral lifestyle choices ala catholic dark ages.

taxes and fines are so much better than burning at the stake i spose, even if the mentality remains the same. elightenment my a*se.
