Mennonite who sold raw milk is arrested

However, the state does have a role in protecting children from being poisoned by their luddite parents.

Everyone knows (logical fallacy intended) that in addition to their adolescent proclivities, welfare abuses, and child labor violations, those FLDS creeps in Texas drank their milk unpasteurized. Maybe Texas CPS can take your cue and consider every dairy farmer who allows his/her kids to drink the milk from their own farm to be considered a "cult." The Federal dollars would just come rolling into Texas.

Seriously though, the Mark Nolt raid has less to do with raw milk and more to do with his individual opposition to a bureaucratic ruling that was arbitrary and onerous to the relationships with his customers.

RAW MILK SITUATION IN PENNSYLVANIA: UPDATE AND ACTION ALERT

Mark told David Gumpert that the product PDA confiscated (mostly cheese) was worth over $30,000. They also took supplies and equipment. PDA agents were particularly malicious, taking valves, parts to a cream separator and pieces of cheese-making equipment so his equipment could no longer be used. The warrant PDA received from the magistrate states that PDA could search and seize "any equipment, containers or supplies used to bottle or package for sale milk and products manufactured from milk." Obviously cream separator parts and cheese-making equipment have nothing to do with bottling or packaging products, thus making PDA guilty of an illegal seizure.

In addition, there were at least half a dozen Pennsylvania state troopers present, and likely other plain-clothese agents. The troopers handcuffed and arrested one of the approximately 150 protesters who gathered outside the court, Phil Beachy, a local farmer, for refusing to stand far enough off the highway that runs in front of the courtroom to suit their tastes.

The event also attracted probably eight or ten news media representatives--both newspaper and television reporters--mostly from the Harrisburg area, but at least one from Philadelphia.

Here is an e-mail list of the PA elected officials cited in the Weston A Price Action alert. Please consider sending your personal testimony about the benifits of raw milk to these people. It is obviously a fairly misunderstood science these days.

There are a lot of Amish in Missouri, where I live (similar to Mennonites). They are very humble and friendly people. This news story is a bit depressing.
