by David Gumpert | Jul 4, 2013 | Legal, Raw Milk, Regulation | 43 comments

Maybe it’s a sign of progress, on this Independence Day weekend, that we are discussing here the possibility of Walmart potentially wanting to stock raw milk. As I read the comments, and think about it some more, I’m inclined to agree with those who’d avoid doing...

Want Serious Discussion About Raw Milk Safety? Better Be Careful

by David Gumpert | Jun 17, 2013 | Food Safety, Nutrition, Raw Milk, Research | 133 comments

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has had no hesitancy about spending taxpayer dollars to promote its viewpoint that raw milk is a mortal  danger. A couple years back, I called the FDA on its practice, after it spent nearly $2,500 with a press release...

Vernon Hershberger Makes Peace with His Jury…Is DATCP Next?; A Bonus for Supporting FTCLDF

by David Gumpert | Jun 14, 2013 | Food Clubs, Legal, Raw Milk, Regulation | 16 comments

It was a sight to warm the hearts of all in DATCP (the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection), not to mention the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration). There was Vernon Hershberger, basking in the warm afternoon sunlight outside...

Mining Those Raw Milk Phone, Email Goodies

by David Gumpert | Jun 8, 2013 | Legal, Raw Milk | 42 comments

I found myself laughing out loud when President Obama said, “The government isn’t listening to your telephone calls.” The government just looks “at phone numbers and duration of calls.” What kind of phone call of what duration prompts a listen-in? And what about...

Here’s Why DATCP and WI Dept of Justice Are So Pissed Off: You Would Be, Too, If “The Fix” Unraveled

by David Gumpert | Jun 3, 2013 | Food Clubs, Legal, Raw Milk, Regulation | 21 comments

I like to understand both sides of an issue or controversial event. So I’ve been trying to understand the Vernon Hershberger raw milk and licensing case from the viewpoint of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and the...

by David Gumpert | Jun 1, 2013 | Legal, Raw Milk, Regulation | 22 comments

Prosecutors in the Vernon Hershberger case filed a motion Friday asking the judge to revoke the raw milk farmer’s release order, and throw him in jail. The prosecution move comes less than a week after Hershberger was acquitted on three misdemeanor criminal...

Looking Ahead on Food Rights and Raw Milk: How Will Regulators Get Out of the Corner They’ve Painted Themselves Into?

by David Gumpert | May 31, 2013 | Legal, News Media, Raw Milk, Regulation | 4 comments
