Wisconsin Judge: ‘No, Plaintiffs do not have the right to produce and consume the foods of their choice”
September 27th, 2011Via: The Complete Patient:
As if to show how pissed he was at being questioned, he said his decision translates further that “no, Plaintiffs to not have a fundamental right to own and use a dairy cow or a dairy herd;
“no, Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to consume the milk from their own cow;”
And in a kind of exclamation point, he added this to his list of no-nos: “no, Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to produce and consume the foods of their choice…”
He’s right. There is no such fundamental right. See:

The Ps argued, “here are some fundamental rights and drinking raw milk/running our farm system should be one too.” His response was, “no, not until you come back with a better argument. Until then, you can’t X, Y, Z”
Maybe they’ll get a better lawyer after this.
