HONEY ANYONE?
FDA FINDS LITTLE PROBLEM HERE
WORTH PURSUING
A case of two different industries?
http://plantyourdream.net/?p=2834
How can we expect the FDA to have time to pursue lost millions when they
have enough to do with split milk, worth less than $100,000?
Please, be consider and respectful, and get your priorities straight.
Why go after Honey, when we can go after the Raw Milk?
Two different industries perhaps, one that hurts business, raw milk,
the other, that does not.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rapidly Growing Market
Demand for raw milk is growing rapidly--by some estimates at 40 percent per year. Raw milk is available in retail establishments in eight states and at the farm gate in many more. In states where raw milk sales are illegal, consumers are obtaining raw milk through cow share and herd share programs. A recent court decision validated the legality of cow share agreements in the state of Ohio.
As consumers grow increasingly concerned about food quality and safety, the demand for local foods has grown rapidly. Multi-state outbreaks (such as last fall's E. coli tainted spinach and the more recent Salmonella outbreak due to peanut butter) demonstrate the problems of a centralized food supply. The FDA has recently reported that it may never know the source of the E. coli that contaminated the spinach and warns it will happen again. If such a problem should arise from a local food, such as raw milk, the source of illness could be more easily identified and contained.
Many farmers are transitioning to direct sales of raw milk because of the increased income such sales provide. Farmers selling their milk to dairy companies in the conventional system receive about $1 per gallon for their product--about the same price farmers received during World War II. Farmers selling raw milk receive between $4 and $13 per gallon.
"Raw milk is where organics was twenty years ago," says Fallon. "Considered a fringe movement, raw milk is poised to enter the mainstream. In another twenty years, raw milk will be the milk of choice for most Americans."
