http://www.rawesome.com/ - if that is their web site The web site leaves no doubt on their products being "raw food". I don't see any room for deceptive labeling when that is the whole point of the location. Assuming they are truthful in the statement that this is a co-op, the feds may inconceivably have taken an unexpected step in a surprising direction - exceeding their authority. Who would have guessed that the humble and civil Obama Regime would have overstepped their bounds over something so trivial?

Didn’t we just yesterday have an article extolling CA as one of five states most unfriendly to business?

[goodwithagun]

Yoot mobs and raging illegal immigration, but what are these redundant government orgs worried about? They are frightened of a product safely consumed by humans for thousands of years. Did obama make the call to take them out? Was he in the situation room focused like a laser?

Let them sell it. It’s not being advertised as something it isn’t. I personally wouldn’t drink raw milk , but that’s just me. I should have that choice. The folks should at least have a business license though

[Clintonfatigued]

This is appalling. Why doesn’t the government crack down on something that’s actually dangerous, like illegal aliens.

Which very unhealthy activity should your government protect you from?

1) engaging in anal sex with an HIV-infected man

2) riding the same bus as an illegal alien with a drug-resistant strain of TB

3) drinking raw milk sold by a farmer who practices strict sanitary practices

2 of the people taken into custody were held with bail amounts in excess of 20,000. For raw milk.

The co-founder was held for 4 days before his attorney could get his bail reduced to 30,000; and a total gag order. He’s not allowed to speak about the occasion at all.

This is the second time Rawesome foods has been raided by armed SWAT teams. There are vidoes of the first raid on youtube showing officers walking through the co-op with guns drawn and raised to firing position.

I am not siding with the state but the business owner need to get a license/permit to keep the feds outta their business.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

The police seriously don’t have anything better to do with their time than raid coops selling raw milk?

Sounds to me like they need to fire a cops, since they’re obviously overstaffed, and repeal a few stupid laws, since they’re obviously overlegislated.

This has never made sense to me. I thought the Libs loved organic.

[UnwashedPeasant]

Isn’t breast milk served unpasteurized to INFANTS?

Why aren’t the SWAT teams protecting these innocent children!

But this week, the police cleared the shelves of Rawesome, an establishment in Venice Beach, loading $70,000 of raw, organic produce and dairy products on the back of a flatbed truck

But if they're cleared, they'll bring it all back, right?
