I’d substitute “medicine” for “gold”, but yeah.

[abigailsmybaby]

Well now, that’s the consumer’s choice is it not? It’s getting so that the only people who have a choice in this country are pregnant women.

Raise and consume all of the raw, unpasteurized, unwashed, organic, fertilized-with-human-waste and ground placenta stuff you want. As soon as you start selling it, you have become a public nuisance. If one baby dies from E. coli from drinking unpasteurized milk, you have just become a murderer.

So, you LIKE bloody diarrhea?

[DBrow]

“EPA declared that spilled milk was hazardous waste”

Nope, missed that. Was it on FR?

I’m not knocking you, but I grew up on a dairy farm. I consumed raw milk from about 2 to about 18. I had no problems. It’s good stuff — way better than that pasteurized pond water you buy in the store.

[Squantos]

We grow our own an barter with others for that we still need ....

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You must be completely dependent upon Big Food.

We don't like independence when it comes to anything.

Besides, Big Food makes big campaign contributions.

California....Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois....Ohio.....

Hmmmm.....what's the common denominator in this intrusive big government problem......

I told the person promoting the club that I think one would be taking one’s life into one’s hands if one chose to consume such unpasturized products.

While I would agree that there are standards to be met, raw milk is the best tasting, best for you version of milk there is. When I was a kid, I drank raw milk from the cows on my grandparents' farm. It's all in how healthy the cows are, and how clean the operation is. Both of which my grandparents knew first-hand. All I cared about was the tall, cold, really tasty glass of milk.

The gov’t mafia isn’t getting its’ cut.

BINGO!!!!

I grew up upstate NY and we always bought our produce and eggs from locals. Lots of people had a little stand in front of the house with whatever they had just harvested. Heck, paying for the stuff was usually on the honor system.

But her 12-year-old daughter, Jasmine, wasn't the least bit tongue-tied. "She started back-talking to them," recalls Palmer. "She said, 'If you take my computer again, I can't do my homework.' This would be the third computer we will have lost. I still haven't gotten the computers back that they took in the previous two raids."

Sounds like the daughter of someone I know. You really need to get her some firearms training. She's going to need it in the world that's coming.

4. Ammunition

I would move Ammo higher up the list, if you have ammo you can have the rest if needed.

Sell gold buy lead.

As each day passes the facists get more and more out opf control. They understand one thing and one thing only.

First they came for our unborn children and we did nothing...God help us all.

[OneWingedShark]

The real enemies of this government:
1 — Armed Christians (Ref: The Huataree Militia Incident.)
2 — Foo producers (Ref: This article.)

Er, not a good trend, IMO. Remember that Russian Communism killed MILLIONS by starvation.

[norraad]

Boy, it's tastes great!

Good , real old fashioned food keeps you extreeeeeemly healthy , velly bad for nazi-pharma, pills sales would go down, can't have that, send in stormtroopers.

[unixfox]

all this over raw milk?

No, it's all about CONTROL.

This too will be solved when the next civil war begins.

[mplsconservative]

Heck, paying for the stuff was usually on the honor system.

I can think of three farmstands in my immediate area that still operate on the honor system. In fact I can't think of one that is manned.

Sure beats fighting the crowds when I used to go to the Minneapolis Farmers Market.
