I would not like receiving an email as such and would respond with the counter-information.<BR/><BR/>As far a NAIS, I have not met one person in USDA or the state who agrees with it. It is about the money (states that set up the protocol since it was illegal federally received money incentive packages. Even tribal govns benefited from the handout. And the employees are raised up throught the career chain by quotas and pro-gov deeds and are rewarded ($$$). Money trumps good sense, I guess.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing!!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788740577135090145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-74433861714944052402008-06-26T19:33:00.000-05:002008-06-26T19:33:00.000-05:00Thanks for this post.

I think sometimes it's difficult for consumers to figure out what's happening if we aren't farming ourselves.Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758977872663382006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-37453589076722372762008-06-12T08:00:00.000-05:002008-06-12T08:00:00.000-05:00Robbyn...it's absolutely about money.

If people are hungry they do things they wouldn't normally do. Look at some of the things that go on in Africa. The governments control what little food there is and the people do really bad stuff to each other.

If we are we spend less and pay less in tax $$$. Any rule they can force upon us to make it harder to survive, they will do it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15948327328580337155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-45205016305335436002008-06-11T17:27:00.000-05:002008-06-11T17:27:00.000-05:00Monica, it makes me wonder where the incentives, e...Monica, it makes me wonder where the incentives, er kickbacks, come in to the equation. Why does the vet spend that much time indoctrinating this agenda? I wonder if there are incentives, $$, vets and others are garnering for their efforts. Will people who don't go the NAIS route be denied vet care for their animals?<BR/><BR/>The raw milk thing bothers me a lot. There is deliberate misinformation, which tells me that the REAL milk movement and its subsequent health benefits must be catching on...why else would the govt be stepping up the scare tactics when so many of its "approved" foods are so obviously more risky than certified raw milk? I think they're just trying to get rid of the competition. I never used to be a conspiracy theorist, but I do believe in following the money trail. Again, I suspect the govt's interest in preserving Big Ag...you have filthy antibiotic-dependent cattle who've never seen a pasture, you have disease.<BR/><BR/>Our experiences with raw milk have been dramatically good...it exceeded my expectations. We actually feel different after drinking it. It's the difference between garden-grown vine-ripe heirloom tomatoes and those vapid pale and pasty-tasting things in the supermarkets.<BR/><BR/>Good, I hope good, clean raw milk IS a threat to Big Ag. It's a sign someone's onto something good!Robbynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860870861321231048noreply@blogger.com
