Terrorist Organization Assaults Amish Farmers Over Milk Production

[Myron Proudfoot]

I find it incredible that a great many Libertarians, who claim to base their whole freaking philisophy on property rights,seem to make an exception to intellectual property.

well, other people's intellectual property at least...

Raw milk has a long history as a reservoir of tuberculosis, E. coli, and a bunch of other epidemic diseases. You got woo.

It has an even longer history of being consumed by people with no negative effects whatsoever.

I drank enough milk out of the bulk tank to float a battleship. Never got TB or anything. Granted, it came from healthy cows and the equipment was always kept scrupulously clean, but raw milk isn't the instant death juice most city slickers seem to believe it is. It's good stuff. If you're going to sell it, though, I agree it should be checked for the grodies that lefty mentioned.

Regarding the safety of unpasteurised milk might I remind people of this thread? There was quite a bit of discussion on the safety and science issues until the thread became moribund when the main wooster was banned.

Raw mild can harbour such wonderful organisms as almonellosis, campylobacteriosis, brucellosis, yersiniosis, listeriosis, staphylococcal enterotoxin poisoning, streptococcal infections, tuberculosis, E. Coli. and even rabies; with one US study showing coliform bacteria in ~62% of samples tested.
In the infamous 1985 LA listeria outbreak, caused by cheese made from raw milk, there were 28 deaths.

New commercial for raw milk.

im a bit dissapointed by the thread, i had hoped to see some amish getting tazered.

Tazers don't work on the Amish.

They don't believe in electricity.

If you tazer the milk, it is then legal to sell it.
