Government raids organic farm/picnic. Organizers forced to pour bleach on "unsafe" food.

The one girl said is best. The genetically modified Frankenstein foods at McDonald's are glorified and promoted via government endorsed USDA certification.

Meanwhile, fresh natural, organic food is a "threat to our health and well being".

We have to get government out of our lives. They work for Big Agra, not us. People aren’t taking this seriously. Please realize that we need someone like Ron Paul now more than ever. While he cant stop every government atrocity, its clear that we need someone to stand up for our rights, to stand up for freedom.

The war on food... because the war on drugs didn't fail hard enough.

They're not even allowed to eat the food as private citizens on a private farm?

That's just ridiculous!

Gotta love the arrogance of Mary Oaks though!

Why did they comply were they not on private property and tell them to GTFO I didn't see any cops...

Was the food being sold or just cooked and eaten? If its sold sadly they can make you do whatever they want but if its something people are making for others to eat for free they have no say in where the food comes from.

Where can we get some more facts on this?

Seems like its time to get a lawyer if I was these people... Class action suit time...

I like the comment from the women she tells who she is and says that's all you need to know... Well guess what that's not all we need to know because you are required by law to give more then that.

This is how it all starts...

The walls keep closing in.

Another way to keep us from asserting independence and to keep us on the Govt. nipple. They would rather throw bleach on perfectly good food when there are people that can't afford to buy the scraps and crap (GMO) that they ALLOW us to eat?

Basically... "We will tell you what you can and cannot eat"

To hell with them...I will eat whatever I choose.

Peace

Craziness in the extreme, I can't believe you guys deal with this rot!
What a load!!

This story is infuriating. It struck me that I'd seen a story on here that fits well here and it happened to be one of the first threads I'd posted on here shortly after taking the plunge and making an account.

What is PagPag and yeah, some call it food.

This was a video that really effected me and came back to mind when reading about the authorities actually forcing someone to destroy perfectly good food. We've lost all perspective these days. People growing food the right way need commended and supported. Those who waste or destroy good food while some have none should be criminals at least at the citation level...but never allowed to continue doing it.

This is the sort of thing that would get me in trouble fast. I have a problem with authority and someone telling me what to do to begin with. Throw in some govt rep coming on my land and telling me what to do with my food... no.

In early 1861, a southern boarding house was sporting a rebel flag... the First Flag of the Confederacy... the real "stars and bars"...

A couple of Federal soldiers decided to pay a visit and insist on the flag coming down. Upon going upstairs and pulling down the flag, they were met in the stairwell by the inn owner and flag bearer with his double barreled shotgun...who proceeded to shoot one of the soldiers and reclaim his flag.

Now a days, soldiers carry M-16s...but thanks to the 2nd Ammendment... I carry an Mini-14 and a few other toys of choice... and I do have more sense than to confront them head on... more like "quid pro quo" in the drive as they wave good bye.

Won't we pass away soon and all that you were fighting for, dies out. and your children join the system you fought to renovate for change?

"If you eat only organic food and then go back to NON organic food it makes you feel ill"

I can varify this is true.
My family now only eat organic food but occasionaly when on journeys etc its not possible to find organic food.
On these occasions after eating non organic food we have all commented how ill we feel eg: headaches, upset stomach, unable to sleep etc.
Also, after eating organic food non-organic food tastes disgusting, especialy products that claim to be made from meat.

Its also true that you eat less when you only eat organic food.

I live in the UK and I know its only a matter of time before they start tryin this on over hear. Worthy of note is the royals have their own organic farms!!

OK... now that we stand corrected, I'll go and put my torch and pitch fork back up into the closet.

Being a small farmer, I can appreciate your injection of reality. Thanks for the heads up.

I appreciate your point in this, but if I may say something from a different approach. The feds made a raw milk sting/raid right here in my area last year. It was wrong, and generally went over like a sack of rocks. The problem is they weren't selling their milk in stores with containers that left any vague notion of what it was. It was being sold at a Farmers Market and very clear to anyone buying what was contained in the bottles.

It's absurd that we must be protected from ourselves for buying what is clearly and obviously presented as what it is. If I'm willing to take the inherent risks with buying milk directly from a local dairy, then I'll accept what may come in the downside. No law suits and no calling authorities. Likewise, it would be nice if those same authorities would leave alone the farmers I'd have out there to sell me those things I'm choosing to buy.

It's Nannyism at it's worst...on the food we eat. It just has to stop, in my humble opinion.

Let's cut everything and go back to uncivilized caveman days, sulking in our own filth, and killing random animals for fur to cover our naked filthy bodies, while hunting animals for meat, and cooking it on an open fire, while others try and steal your wife and kids in a post apocalypse world where all the weapons were destroyed. You are left with sticks and stones. While tons of hungry and horny people crowd you and grab your food like a wild animal.

Yeah I prefer captialism/socialism/communism system, atleast we have a chance of living even if it's not that great.
We suffer from "entitlement" issues, Life is what it is, you cannot make a difference by bitching out your emotions.
It's you who suffers mentally, you need to step up and organize politically legally through the system
To accomplish change, but it requires sponsorship from existing parties, you have to convince them your plan works. Maybe hire a lawyer to help you aswell, to pitch your idea to the corporations and banks for sponsorship.
Or start a non profit organization at your local university. It's all there the tools, as you can see OWS isn't making much progress but bringing forth a MARTIAL LAW in all the United states.

I wonder when the day will come when these fools will have no one else to harrass and no one else to buy good food from, have fun with your no nutrient garbage piles you fuggin greasy slugs.

This is a good example of just how out of touch government is from reality and the lengths they will go to flex their muscle. I am appalled as most people should be that this thing is happening. When I was growing up we grew our own food and raised our own meat. I think it is a good example for children to understand the food cycle.

I remember our calf we named "Beefsteak". I fed that calf for over a year before my dad decided to get it butchered by a "Friend". He brought a .22 rifle expecting to drop the cow. I asked if he had done this before and he said he had and it would be no problem. I was 14.

He shot the cow 10 times in the head and the cow just ran around screaming as he reloaded. I was mad as hell. I told him if he shot my cow one more time I would shoot him. I ran to the house and got my knife. I ran back to the cow, jumped on it's back and slit it's throat. It died within seconds.

I learned a lot that day. I learned a lot about people and the cycle of life. I also lost something that I have never regained. I look at corrupt people like I did that "Friend" and I hate them and their lack of compassion or intelligence. I think they are missing a fundamental element in their conscience that allows them to "Feel" anything like compassion.

I saw that in the inspector's face in the video. I also saw contempt and privilege. As long as there are people who will fill the position these rules will be carried out. It takes people who are smart enough to realize that their government is corrupt and refuse to do what they are told. They could have eaten that food. They decided to abide by the authority figure.

It is time to grow up. We have been hijacked by scoundrels looking to corner the food market. They have patents on almost everything that can be enforced on anyone not using their gmo seeds. The government agencies enforce illegal activity for corporations. They do not work for the "People" anymore. They have no objectivity or compassion. They are zombies serving their masters.

I loved that cow, but I killed it and ate it. I love my country, but...........................

I live in an incorporated city, which has its own government (e.g. mayor, city council, tax structure, sheriff's department, etc.).

They run ads on the Internet, stating "we need food, please make a donation." These contributions are passed on to the public through a "bread line."

Typically there is no shortage of day old breads, cakes, cookies, and pies. Foods with real nutritional value like vegetables, fruits, and dairy are available but usually very scarce.

The lines are longs. They're made up of people who are struggling financially, but willing to wait it out.

It's not uncommon to wait an hour or more for a loaf of bread, a box of crackers, some apples, and a head of lettuce. I prefer to use their dumpster in the back alley. There is never a line and I can easily walk away with a backpack full of dated canned foods, ten-pound bags of fruits and vegetables, jugs of whole milk, dozens of fresh eggs, plus much more.

The amount of donated food this government municipality discards in the trash each day is a crime. We have many problems in the world today, and government surely is a very large part of the problem(s).
