On November 1, 2011, Moms, Dads, families, singles, Senior Citizens and babies arrived in White Oak, Maryland and peacefully demonstrated against laws that prohibit the sale of raw milk and transporting it across state lines. On Thursday, December 8, 2011, a similar group will be traveling to Chicago to get the word out. They hope to challenge the FDA to change these modern day laws controlling a safe foodstuff that is as old as humanity itself: milk drunk directly from grass fed, healthy cows. Be informed about this situation! Food freedom affects us all!

The RAW MILK FREEDOM RIDERS Ride Again!

Link for the pdf Media alert for December 8

 

Update: Michael Schmidt CONFIRMED for the Freedom Ride Rally with Milk and Cookies!

You are invited to join the Raw Milk Freedom Riders, Food Freedom Advocates from around the country, local and national press and Maybe the FDA and law enforcement* at our next Freedom Ride coming to Chicago IL.

Who:      Raw Milk Freedom Riders and Speakers from around the U.S.

What:     100 gallons of Raw Milk and Cookies to be distributed in support of Food Freedom

Where:  From Wisconsin to Chicago.  Rally at Independence Park, 3850 West Irving Park Road, Chicago, IL. 60618


View Larger Map

When:   Thursday, December 8, 2011   (11:30am-2:00pm)

Why:     After the first freedom Ride on November 1st in Maryland, the FDA issued a statement saying, in part, they did not “intend” to target individuals transporting raw milk across state lines for their own, individual use.  Implicit in this, FDA is admitting their intent to criminally target agents, buying clubs, coops and farmers in their pursuit of raw milk prohibition.

Join us as we call for an end to the prohibition and criminalization of raw milk consumers!
——————————
The caravan of Freedom Riders will include embedded reporters to broadcast what we are doing and why—to shed light on the FDA’s violent and failing policies.  We are informing the FDA of our intentions and inviting them to the party as we caravan over 100 gallons of raw milk from Wisconsin and then distribute in Chicago at Independence Park.   It is time to challenge the FDA on the law that turns honest parents and farmers into criminals for transporting raw milk across state lines.

Food Freedom heroes Max Kane, David Gumpert, Liz Reitzig, Kathy Pirtle, John Moody, Jim Marlowe, Michael Badnarik, Michael Schmidt, and many others dedicated to raw milk choice and food freedom will join us for a rally and peaceful demonstration at Independence Park in Chicago.

We welcome EVERYONE to join us at the rally and help make a HUGE statement to the FDA on our movement toward personal choice, dietary privacy, and food freedom!

We are having our own battles with this on the West Coast. In Pescadero a few dairy farms allow people to buy shares in the cows and then they get the milk delivered. This was the FDA can't do anything. I drink raw milk everyday from cows and goats and I resent the government telling me I can't.

I understand your resentment, and I agree with how you feel. Ms. Glaze

I was born in Managua, Nicaragua, and my mother was born in San Salvador, El Salvador, and we grew up drinking raw milk. I believe we as the consumer should have the freedom to choose whether we want to drink pasteurized milk or non-pasteurized milk.

Anyone that has ever tasted raw milk and cheeses will agree that the taste is SUPERIOR!
