A Canadian Farmer is fighting in Court over Raw Milk!
The Canadian PressTORONTO — A farmer’s fight to produce raw milk will continue today in a Newmarket court.
Michael Schmidt will argue that the evidence against him is inadmissible because it was based on a faulty search warrant.
The raw milk war began in November, 2006 when health officials raided Schmidt’s Grey-Bruce County farm.
Schmidt now faces 20 charges for selling and producing the unpasteurized milk.
If he loses his case, the fines he’ll face could bankrupt his 20-year old business.
Raw milk advocates say they drink it for its flavour, organic properties, and health benefits.
But it’s illegal to sell raw milk in Canada because it can carry hordes of potentially deadly bacteria, including salmonella and E. coli.
Lovely…at least they haven’t started throwing them in Jail…yet.
Pasturized milk is full of chemicals and boiled almost beyond recognition. We almost lost our son because of it. Yet, he got healthy when he stopped drinking ’safe, pasturized’ milk and drank raw milk. Nearly anything ‘can’ carry hordes of ‘potentially’ deadly bacteria. Do we stop eating then? Hordes of people are dying because of the chemicals that are put into our food and the synthetic medicines we consume. And now the government is trying to stop people from using Natural herbal remedies by passing a law that will treat you like a criminal for growing and/or using them. Something sounds wrong here.

It’s awful Cindy…I can’t believe our own government could consciously be enacting this…and even worse…how could we all have believed them for such a long time???
I feel de-loused.
Once again our police state is hypocritical to the extreme. How else can one describe a government that allows its citizens to smoke themselves to death while the benefits of unpasteurized milk(products) far outweigh the slight risks…
I commend Mr Schmidt for his creative way of distributing his products.
