Liberty Minute April 5 2014

About five years ago, I suffered a very serious gastrointestinal disorder that came respectably close to killing me. This condition, which made me pass nearly my entire blood volume over the course of about five days, was produced by an imbalance in my intestinal flora that often results from the use of antibiotics.

During a recent trip to Utah, I started experiencing symptoms suggesting a relapse of that condition. To treat them, I asked a friend to obtain a quantity of raw ? that is, unpasteurized ? milk, which contains natural bacteria that can help restore the balance of intestinal flora. Within a few hours the symptoms disappeared.

My friend told me that to purchase raw milk it was necessary to provide detailed personal information and sign a lengthy disclaimer. This is because the FDA treats this this natural, wholesome food as if it were a harmful substance. The Feds have been actively persecuting farmers who sell raw milk to willing, informed customers.

The same totalitarian presumption that brought us the War on Drugs has led to the Regime?s war on unapproved natural food. Both of those tyrannical campaigns assume that government can prohibit something that informed people freely choose to consume.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
