Journal zogger's Journal: Your right to choose your own food 1
The FDA is now claiming, in a convoluted case involving raw milk, that you have no inherent right to choose your own food, that this "right" exists solely with the Federal government.

So the FDA is trolling. (Score:3, Insightful)
Sure there is. Hundreds of thousands of years, at least. That's pretty deeply rooted.
Nice straw man. The plaintiffs aren't asking about "any" food - but rather, a food that has a tradition of access going back from before the US ever existed.
Funny how they don't go after "ultra-homogenized" milk - milk that has been passed through ultra-fine filters, breaking up the fat particles so that even more can enter directly into the blood stream. Homogenized milk has been implicated in the rise of type 1 (juvenile) diabetes, because the proteins on the milk fat, entering the bloodstream through the less-than-perfect infant gullet, sensitize the body to those proteins. Later on, because the Isles of Langerhans resemble those proteins, they come under attack in an auto-immune reaction.

This isn't the only study - it's bee known for 30 years that homogenized cows milk is a risk factor for several auto-immune diseases.
