Many thousands of years ago, two men came across a dairy cow, a beast neither had previously beheld.
One of them, seeking to impress the other, pointed to the creature’s udder and declared: “You see those things dangling from the underside of that animal? Well, I’m going to squeeze one of them and drink whatever comes out of it!”
According to the late and much-missed George Carlin, that nameless daredevil was the bravest man who ever lived. He was also exceptionally fortunate, since he was able to consume raw milk, and even extol its nutritional benefits, without running the risk of imprisonment.
“I drink raw milk, sold illegally on the underground black market,” admits organic farmer and polymath Joel F. Salatin in the foreword to David Gumpert’s book The Raw Milk Revolution: Behind America’s Emerging Battle over Food Rights. “I grew up on raw milk, from our own Guernsey cows that our family hand-milked twice a day. We made yogurt, ice cream, butter and cottage cheese. All through high school in the early 1970s, I sold our homemade yogurt, butter, buttermilk, and cottage cheese at the curb market on Saturday mornings.”
This was possible only because our rulers — who plunder our earnings to subsidize production of government-approved toxins such as high fructose corn syrup, and don’t hesitate to confer the “safe foods” label on Twinkies and other hydrogenated wads of incremental death — hadn’t yet decided to protect us from the scourge of unprocessed natural foods, such as raw milk.
That oversight has since been corrected. As a result, explains Salatin, home dairy producers like the family in which he grew up are forbidden to sell their products at a contemporary farmer’s market.
It isn’t an exaggeration to say that the Regime is conducting a low-grade war against producers and consumers of raw milk — a campaign that bears an undeniable family resemblance to the murderous, decades-long farce called the War on Drugs. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that a government presuming to dictate to us what mood-altering substances we can consume would likewise presume to tell us what foods we can eat and offer to others.
