Group of Moms in Raw Milk Protest

Got RAW MILK!



A self-described "caravan of criminal mothers" defied federal law by transporting raw milk across state lines from a Pennsylvania farm and drinking it in front of the FDA headquarters in Maryland.

"It's totally natural to me as a parent to want to feed my children good food that keeps them healthy," said Liz Reitzig, a mother of five in Bowie, MD, who organized the protest. "In this case, that is fresh, clean, raw milk from farmers we know and trust. The idea that we become criminals for engaging in that transaction is what is so appalling."

The protesters numbering about 300 - drove in from as far away as Illinois and Kentucky to denounce government tyranny and civil disobedience. "The FDA considers it perfectly safe to feed your kids Mountain Dew, Twinkies and M & Ms, but it's unsafe to feed them natural, nutritious raw milk," said Joel Salatin, the Virginia farmer made famous by the documentary Food, INC., who joined the protesters. The protest sprang from an FDA sting operation on Amish farmer Dan Allgyer's tiny dairy of 3 doz. Cows in Kinder, PA, that culminated in a predawn raid on the farm. Allgyer has been selling milk to consumers in MD who had formed a buying club. None of Allgyer's milk was contaminated His alleged crime was selling it across state lines.
