Monsanto & Cancer Milk FOX NEWS KILLS STORY & FIRES Reporters

You folks do realize that most of the time, someone has already re-posted it so all you have to do is search again, right?

I went to find this video to share it with some friends of mine, and lo and behold it was removed for violating terms of use. I wonder how this video fits that bill!

Again, Congressman Ron Paul rises to the challenge and pushes for sanity and reason, calling the regulatory restrictions on raw milk “unconstitutional.”

The U.S. federal regulation in question (21 CFR 1240.61) states that:

“…no person shall cause to be delivered into interstate commerce or shall sell, otherwise distribute, or hold for sale or other distribution after shipment in interstate commerce any milk or milk product in final package form for direct human consumption unless the product has been pasteurized….”

If Ron Paul’s bill H.R. 778 passes into law, it will repeal this regulation and enable you to buy raw milk and raw milk products from other states – if it’s not available in your own -- without the transaction violating federal law. Because whereas consuming raw milk is legal in all states, only about half of all U.S. states allow the sale of raw milk products.

And currently, if you were to purchase your milk products from another state where the sale is legal, you’d be violating the law by bringing it, or shipping it, across the border.

This bill would do away with that nonsense.

As Congressman Paul stated when he introduced the bill:

“My office has heard from numerous people who would like to obtain unpasteurized milk. Many of these people have done their own research and come to the conclusion that unpasteurized milk is healthier than pasteurized milk.

Americans have the right to consume these products without having the Federal Government second-guess their judgment about what products best promote health. If there are legitimate concerns about the safety of unpasteurized milk, those concerns should be addressed at the state and local level.”

Bravo!

And he is right -- demand for raw milk is growing all across the U.S. In Massachusetts, for example, the number of dairies licensed to sell raw milk has grown from 12 to 23 over the past two years alone. And, according to the Northeast Organic Farming Association, dairies are selling more raw milk than they were just five years ago, and consumers call in every week looking for advice on where to find it.

Current Regulations are Based on Flawed Assumptions

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns that raw milk can carry disease-causing bacteria. However, what they fail to realize is that raw milk contains good bacteria, enzymes and raw fats that help to boost your immune system and aid digestion, and that raw milk from healthy grass-fed cows are FAR less likely to harbor disease-causing bacteria to begin with.

The process of pasteurization is used to extend shelf life and to immobilize certain bacteria. However, it is normal for milk to contain some bacteria, and human societies have benefited from these bacteria in milk for thousands of years. In fact, bacteria:

Are earth’s oldest life forms
Are everywhere
Are essential for your survival
Comprise more than 90 percent of the cells in your body
Raw milk is an absolutely marvelous whole food, and fermented milks have superior nutrient value and digestibility. Today these products are marketed as containing “probiotics,” as if it was something brand new.

Pasteurized milk, on the other hand, is simply not designed for your best long-term health interests, and will invariably cause you problems if you drink it long enough.

Government agencies would have you believe that if there are bacteria in your milk, it will make you sick. But this is the same type of oversimplified and incorrect logic that allowed pasteurized milk to proliferate the market in the first place.

In reality, bacteria is in milk for a reason, and as long as it comes from a healthy cow, the good bacteria will keep the bad bacteria in your gut in check, and will proceed to do the same inside of your body.

The public obsession with killing bacteria misdirects efforts at improving public health -- because relatively few bacteria are pathogenic. By constantly sterilizing, pasteurizing, and disinfecting, the balance is actually tipped in favor of the pathogens!

Time to Correct the Error

Now is a great time for you, as a concerned consumer (whether you actually drink raw milk or not), to take notice and join in the efforts to allow people everywhere to pursue health and not be thwarted by regulations based on flawed assumptions.

H.R. 778 has been assigned to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and is currently seeking co-sponsors. You can track the status of the bill by entering “HR 778” in the Search field for “Bill Number” on www.thomas.gov.

“Please take action to ensure our children's safety, for they can not protect themselves.”
This sounds like the state-worshipper’s call to arms.
You can’t trust those greedy capitalists! Government must do something! More regulation! Incentives for organic milk! Chuck Schumer, save us! Save our children!
Come on, folks. What would Dr. Paul or Lew Rockwell say about all this? How can this problem, if it is a problem, be solved by applying more freedom?
If you want to promote two-cows-and-a-bucket farming methods, go right ahead, but I expect something more from DP.

When this documentary first came out it was this exact piece that made me only buy organic milk from there on. And, I would say The Corporation was instrumental in "waking me up" that eventually led me to the whole liberty movement. Now if I can just find somewhere in my area to buy raw milk...

This is despicable!!
