    I believe if they are going to sell fresh meat to the public, their processing plant has to be USDA inspected.

    How many people should they have let the farmer kill before the police did something? What's the correct number?

    If they are shipping milk "the way God intended" I'm guessing it's not pasteurized. Does it actually say in the bible that humans should drink cow milk straight from the utter? Just curious.

    I would assume they're using dry ice in a cooler for shipping.
    My Grandfather used have a small dairy and we used to get fresh milk every morning when we there visiting

    USDA blah blah blah. How many hundreds of farms in California have lead to hundreds of dead over the past 30 years all under the watchful eye of the US government? If I had the power, I would shut down every farm based in California right now because all of them would fail inspection. It's why I've stopped buying produce and buy it locally. I don't fear the reaper when some outbreak hits bags of salad mix.

    I read the comments, but once I saw the headline and “Citizens Free Press,” I didn’t open the link. Utter BS to think that Biden actually directed the law enforcement activity in this case. Poor farmer selling contaminated food because he doesn’t follow USDA food safety standard. With a track record of Sickening others. The headline and this thread illustrate what is wrong with the far right. Criminals are victims.

    Keeping it cool is important, but pasteurization is a heating process that kills pathogens and is required by the FDA for interstate sales of milk. Can you really blame the feds for getting involved when their products are not following laws and making people.sick?

    Killed a person, not just made them sick. A Florida resident died from an infection due to the farms practices.

    Listen, we already know conservatives don’t care about others once they’re outside the womb, and even then they don’t really care they just like having control over other people. Pro life, baby!

    Its pretty funny that someone linked from the same publication a "hell yeah a criminal gets what was coming to them" video of a brutal vigilante retaliation in Brazil, and here they are howling about a criminal getting what was coming to them, which was a big fine, basically. That's the fascist press for you!

    That would equate to 80,000+ deaths/year from food poison. Up from 3,000.

    You and other rightwingers are trying to claim this was a raid by Biden. In fact, the case began in 2017. His own attorney said it wasn't a raid, the USDA has bent over backwards to help him and ... “The stuff that Amos has done—he should have been in jail a long time ago."
    The trouble is that he got involved with the sovereign citizen crap.

    Would you feel the same way if it was your wife or kid that died from contaminated products from a farmer who was knowingly and intentionally ignoring food laws and regulations?

    And now other people who are sympathetic to that cause feel like they have to defend him.
