Even If the Culprit Isnt Clear, You Can Always Find Someone to Blame; OD’ing on the Media Hype

by David Gumpert | Feb 14, 2008 | Uncategorized | 16 comments

Last Sunday’s Boston Globe Magazine contained a very disturbing article—in both print and pictures—about a pregnant woman who went to a suburban hospital to give birth, and wound up with a terrible infection. To me, it relates directly to the...

Musings on Presidential Politics and Food; A Last Word on Raw Milk Illnesses? Probably Not

by David Gumpert | Feb 12, 2008 | Uncategorized | 11 comments

As cynical as I am about all this presidential stuff—the money that’s being spent on these campaigns is astounding—I’ve gotten caught up in the voting and sport of it all. It’s hard not to , given the characters and the drama. I’ll...

Is There a Political Agenda Driving the Suits Against Organic Pastures? Might It Backfire This Time?

by David Gumpert | Feb 11, 2008 | Uncategorized | 14 comments

I find myself wondering… The suits against Organic Pastures Dairy Co. aren’t asking for huge damages. They seem to be based on weak and contradictory evidence. They come at a time when Organic Pastures is at the center of a political dispute to reverse...

by David Gumpert | Feb 9, 2008 | Uncategorized | 16 comments

Making It in the Dairy Industry Is No Easy Matter, Regardless of Your Milk Type

by David Gumpert | Feb 5, 2008 | Uncategorized | 6 comments

Okay, I’m back to reality. Not sure where all that Mitt Romney stuff came from—dreams are funny that way. Maybe because he was a skillful venture capitalist in his day (and made all the millions he’s now throwing into the presidential race), I had...

What Does It Mean When You Start Dreaming About Raw Milk? Is It Time to Start Really Worrying?

by David Gumpert | Feb 4, 2008 | Uncategorized | 6 comments

I had a dream last night that I was trying to explain raw milk to, of all people. Mitt Romney. Somehow I was giving him a ride somewhere, or giving him directions (talk about a guy who needs direction!) to get to a campaign appearance. (The photo at left is of a...

Why I Wouldn’t Want to Bet My Home, or My Raw Milk Supply, on the Sanctity of Contract Law

by David Gumpert | Feb 2, 2008 | Uncategorized | 9 comments

The discussion on my previous post got me wondering: how is it that we seem to be losing the right to eat what we want? Steve Bemis alludes to Sinclair Lewis and his expose on the meat slaughterhouses. That led fair-minded Americans to demand government involvement,...
