Feds tell court they can decide what you eat
'Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish'
Attorneys for the federal government have argued in a lawsuit pending in federal court in Iowa that individuals have no "fundamental right" to obtain what food they choose.
The brief was filed April 26 in support of a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund over the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ban on the interstate sale of raw milk....

That is the OLDEST human right, long predating any civilization. If this isn't a fundamental right, nothing is. This day, I call heaven and earth to testify against the criminally unconstitutional US FDA:
Exhibit A: Genesis 1:29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
Exhibit B: Genesis 9:3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
Exhibit C: Exodus 3:17 And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites — a land flowing with milk and honey.
Exhibit D: 9th Amendment, US Constitution - The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people [This is clearly one of the "other rights" that the Founders couldn't even anticipate being violated, but were wise enough to cover].
Exhibit E: 10th Amendment, US Constitution - The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. [In other words, FDA has no jurisdiction!]
Right on!!!
insanity out of control....i prescribe a full frontal lobotomy for each and every one of them....
“Attorneys for the federal government have argued in a lawsuit pending in federal court in Iowa that individuals have no “fundamental right” to obtain what food they choose.”
These totalitarisn azzholes need to keep their laws off my body.
So you can kill your unborn child but not eat Twinkies? Makes sense.

When the hell did Idiocracy become a reality?
That's called slavery.
Now the government is deciding what you can eat for your daily sustenance.
Control doesn't get more fundamental than that.
Land of the free? Not hardly.
Somebody call these attorneys' mothers to come slap the stupid out of their mouths.
This incident should remove all doubt that liberal progressives believe that there is no such thing as an "unalienable" right, and that every American is simply property of the state.
I remember when wing-nuts in N.J. passed a law and said all eggs had to be cooked at least 3 minutes.
The day it was passed, then Govenor Florio ordered a Ceasar Salad.
Guess how long that law lasted.
My 3 boys are growing up on raw milk and they are almost ridiculously healthy, good looking (we get lots of comments), and intelligent. California largely sucks nowadays, but one good thing about it is, we've fought and fought to keep raw milk legal, and so far we've won. But the war never ends.... eternal vigilance is the price of keeping the foods that prevent autism, allergies, etc....
Freedom chip away at it until it’s gone.
I have a dozen fresh eggs in my fridge. I hope they don’t come after me. I am really starting to hate the government.
The issue is whether the fed govt has a right to tell us what to eat. They do not.

Oh you can eat the twinkies you just don’t get to choose the condition of the milk that you drink with it. I used to be pro law on this, basically saying follow the law, stay out of trouble. However now I understand the issue better and I believe that raw milk may in fact be safer than the stor bought garbage.
They have a point - apparently whatever they’ve eaten over the years has turned their brains into something akin to a moldy kitchen sponge and caused them to become attorneys.
