The Michigan Dept. of Agriculture last year forced Joe and Brenda Golimbieski, the owners of Hill High Dairy and Jenny Samuelson, the owner of My Family Co-op, to dump 248 gallons of organic milk and destroy 100 dozen eggs along with fresh cream, butter and cheese after accusing them of “selling food without a license.”
Their farm is a co-op, however, where people must buy shares to obtain food. The MDA stated that their contracts were invalid so the food wasn’t ‘shared’, but ‘sold’.

Yet again another example of the kind of bs we came to this country to escape from… we even put into place safe guards and checks and balances but over time we have disregarded them too!
The Deprtment of Agriculture shoud of been dumped along with the food. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“First of all Michigan is a republican state, obama is a democrat, secondly this is a state issue not a federal issue. Before you start criticizing have your facts straight. The president doesnt have control over these issues, the federal govt is losing power in regulating these corporate lobbying techniques that causes things like this to happen. Blame the big corporate monopolies.”

Wow, f. that! They were in your property you should’ve shoot the mofos! I mean they are making you throw everything away because of a license? F. that!! Food is more important than a paper! I’m sure the food didn’t have enough gmos for the population…
And people are starving–who is behind this–instead of dumping, couldn’t this have been given to the food kitchens to help feed the homeless–what are you thinking–I don’t care who has control, they should be dumped for being so inconsiderate. Not good reasoning–hope these people get things straightened out–someone is out to put them out of business–guess who that is!!
F the FDA
Neva Marino, believe it or not, that type of commonsense does not prevail in our government. A similar story of hunters with a couple hundred lbs of deer meat donated it to shelters in Louisiana but the shelters were ordered to destroy it because it wasn’t FDA approved. Its all about control, concern for people does not enter into the equation.
Bring in the Militia!
Hey! Im sure the govt. Knows whats best!!! As a matter of fact im waiting for an agent to come wipe my ass for me now!
Sickening.
