It would seem that it never ends in Wisconsin. Of the state and home of the Green Bay Packers and cheese heads who are proud of their dairy products and mid western family ways we also have a Governor who ignores the voices of 1 million strong and an AG seeking to stop "raw milk" farmers at all costs.
Vernon Hershberger has been engaged in a battle roil with Wisconsin tyrannical authorities who demand that milk be pasturized. Hershberger was jailed several times and a rally was planned for today (March 1, 2012) and tomorrow (Friday March 2, 2012). This rally will take on greater meaning now that the Wisc AG has detailed his intents.
Buying milk, food, bread and pies from farmers used to be a regular thing in America.
Monsanto can pervert our food supplies and even be indicted by other countries;
but in America - the good hard working (clean) farmers are the ostracized.
As stated here http://www.thecompletepatient.com/...
Buying it was once also pretty natural. We bought our foods directly from farmers, or from small specialty outlets, or traveling peddlers. Whatever local farms produced, that's what was available. If you wanted to deal with a particular farmer, you did it. Your "contract" was a handshake. Nothing about legal precedents or complicated theories of private ownership or dealing with "licenses".

Authorities raid homemade school lunch bags
The last few weeks we had authorities raiding school lunches brought from home and replacing them with the "Nutricious" chicken nuggets.. instead of turkey & cheese.

In Raeford, North Carolina astate government worker inspecting lunchboxes decided a preschooler’s packed lunch wasn’t nutritious enough and substituted a school-made chicken nuggets meal.
At West Hoke Elementary School a government worker going class-to-class inspecting lunchboxes discovered a near tragedy: a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and potato chips. Yes, you’re thinking “O – M – G.” Thank God the state stepped in before nutritional child abuse could occur.
Greater details on Hershberger's affair is found on FaceBook

We will update this with new info as it comes along. Maybe we need another George Clooney movie like Michael Clayton. As can be seen in this Harvard debate (purported) on the issue, we have much to discuss on this subject.
As for me, I believe that our big brother should let the people decide the issue.
