lol maybe its presentation is shady to you, but its content sadly isnt.
ever notice how every product on some level we rely on has a heavy basis in corn?
ever notice we are so very proud of our post industrial dominance, yet our agrarian existance is some how crutial.
when it comes to actual fruit like bannanas or other perishables like flowers, we are able to ship them here for pennies on the dollar, but god forbid one of our farmers didnt grow corn.farming used to be an indutry out of neccesity and now is a raquet as a matter of ignorance.

why would the beef industry need a governmental lobby?i mean really think about it.across the entire planet 7 billion of us human beings roam in every concievable manor and with the exception of buddist regions we eat meat.does the middle east need a beef lobby for meat to get sold?does any society need that really?is thier anyone trying to really shut them down either? thier enemies are people who smoke pot and throw paint on fur coats.why is it then that the beef industry needs to spend money on lobbiests.agriculture is so inherent to our existance, its need is unquestionable.why would you need to send lobbiest to sway our representative government unless your up to some shit.

people on current for example love to note how much money the israelis lobby gets towards turining our govt in thier favor, tobaccos lobby is imfamous, as well as alcohol, oil and so forth.why would agriculture need that.we dont have a water lobby, or an oxegyn lobby (unless you count big tobacco), we have it, want it, and it is not in question.how is food not in the same catagory?

You bring up a good point that I'm not sure I've considered before. If not for big dairy feeling threatened by these individual farmers selling organic raw milk why would they need lobbyists to convince our politicians to make the raw milk trade illegal.

If big dairy wasn't worried about their profit margin why in the world would anyone care about raw milk enough to make its trade illegal?

here is where my train of thought suspends knowledge for imagination, but i think it is healthier for you.just like any industry does, ot tries to make its product more profitable by appealing to what we crave over what is good.tobacco is a perfect example, as tobacco without all the additives is less satisfying, i think raw milk probably sucks in terms of taste but it is healthier.as our priorities have changed so drasticaly from taste being important to sacrificing it more and more in favor of health, thier product is threatened.
i wonder what our reaction would be if a mass of us realized that our milk that is pushed like it is purity in liquid form has been tampered with in favor of taste while sacrificing the health it basis its worth on.it is a pretty rough lie to be caught in.
but thats just my theory wich is probably more orwellian than true.

i dont know about raw milk but I have heard that un-pasturized cheese is a million times better than regular cheese. from my small amount of research the lobbyists have been saying that its dangerous because its less sanitary. but i mean if u use that as a reason to make things illegal than maybe fresh vegetables should be too... oh ya, i forgot they are making fresh vegetables illegal with the senates newest bill

when it comes to selling things that are unnecessary, like tabacco, companies are dependent on making people physically addicted. milk is still a staple source of dairy and would be consumed by many regardless, short of additives being publicized that are concretely harmful to consume.

But when it comes to food degradation, anything is acceptable as long as it still LOOKS like food by the time it ends up on the plate. It has nothing to do with taste. Most people in the West have NO IDEA what a real tomato tastes like. I often forget until I visit rural family and get reminded.

GMOs either have pesticides within the very cells of the food or has some of the strongest pesticides on it possible, but because it still looks like a blackberry and the affects of these chemicals is understudied and too long-term to bring about casual correlation, it is widely accepted as okay.

i don't know where you assumption that raw milk tastes bad comes from. the few things i've heard about it say it's great, plus has more nutrients. the goal of food industry is to preference shelf life over everything else because it maximizes profit.

in my younger less critical thinking years i have tried all manor of things not socially acceptable to consume, and found raw milk to be awefull.truth be told it could be a matter of taste via age, like how as you get older a taste for sweets deminish's.or maybe the additives im used to in milk made me think that is the appropriate taste and i didnt give the raw its proper due.

Oh haha I've heard it's good! I assumed you were speaking generally, not out of personal experience. My bad. Taste is so subjective though I wouldn't be surprised that the conditioning that occurs from having one type of milk all your life would make others seem less good. In the same way that coke and junk food tastes less good if you remove it from your diet for an extended period of time. Though no matter how little I come to eat it is still always so good to pick up again..

The government thinks you're too stupid to choose anything, the car you drive, the health insurance you buy, only they know what is good for you and that's what you're going to get whether you like it or not.

Yes. Exactly.

I would go as far as saying a lot of people eat stupid food. Stupid food is the most advertised food on TV, because there is no natural want, just a process to increase corporate sales. Stupid food consists of an over abundance of one or more of the following: sugar, salt, sat fat, corn syrup, artificial preservatives, or anything you purchase at a fast food restaurant.

is it not true, at least to a certain degree.
i understand no individual should be made to suffer via the decisions of another, but in general we eat baconaise and take captian crunch to court for presenting crunch berries as fruit.we are, as a collective, a tad retarded.it isnt pleasant to notice but it is a truth.
we can adress it, or like the middle east ignore it like jihad as a matter of pride.
yes we are collectively too stupid to survive on our own.the sooner we adress it the sooner we can rectify it.

Agreed, however, we can't make things illegal just because people are to stupid to use things safely. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm just saying its wrong. If I allow regular old pasturized milk go bad, for example, and I drink it I'm most certainly going to get sick, this doesn't mean it is unsafe and should be illegal though.

the catch 22 of anti drug laws.
true freedom would mean nothing is off limits as we prove through acts of responsability, not leveling lifes playing field for convinience.but we suck at it.
it would be great if no one shot anyone and gun control isnt an issue, but for some reason common sense bad ideas outwiegh our responsability to the freedom that grants us the ability to make the wrong choice.we arent earning our rights, we are cheating through exclusion of elements deemed beyond our ability to handle on our own.
im not advocating making all drugs legal, i recognize its benefits being illegal.im also not for milk being at that level.but they both represent the appuratus, and precidents in place for freedom to fail.
the people who control our food can destroy all of us as we are complicet.it literaly 1984 but with out militancy.we handed our feedom over for nothing.
