(Video) Jackboot to the throat--FDA claims citizens have no right of access to certain foods

In yet another arrogant display of the federal government’s jackboot to the throat of America and of its troubling disregard for the rights of citizens, the Food and Drug Administration now claims that Americans have no fundamental inherent right of access to certain foods.

The agency also claims that Americans do not have a fundamental right to grow their own food, to sell it as they see fit, or to engage in contractual agreements with other citizens in forming food coops.

This direct, frontal assault on the U.S. Constitution, the rights of ordinary citizens, and the long-established American way of life is the result of a case involving the sale and transporting of raw milk across state lines.

As yet another example of the inherent Fascism of this Administration, the mega grocery industry and the large diary corporations are cavorting with the federal government to get certain types of foods banned, to limit access to foods that would impact the large corporations at their bottom line, and to restrict the liberties of Americans by an out-of-control government that is drunk on its own power.

The complete summary and explanation of the circumstances that led to the FDA’s assertions can be found here.
