Why don't they get it!?!?

I'll say it in public. USDA drives me crazy. These people just don't get it; we small farmers are not out to kill off the population by selling clean, fresh raw milk and unwashed eggs, like the government believes us to be. We know what's good. What's fit to eat. What builds health rather than utterly destroying it like factory foods do. Why on earth does FDA and USDA think that it's healthier to eat beef cattle that have been fattened on chicken manure, than it is to eat grass fed beef cattle that have never known what stress is? Why is it better to drink pasteurized milk from cows that are so pumped full of hormones and antibiotics that they rarely live to the age of five, than it is to drink raw milk from happy healthy cows (and goats!) that spend their day in a grassy pasture and are looked after very carefully?

I found This you-tube, about a Wisconsin farm raid, off a friend's blog and decided to put it here too. I love the background music: 'America the Beautiful'. Ain't we proud to live in a country where we aren't allowed to sell real food? I tried putting the video on my blog, but the whole screen wasn't showing. Sorry about that.

P.S. I really am going to post about what's been going on around here! I'm waitin' for one more thing to get here before I blog.
