Thant freedom is mine and mine alone. ********** [172556:012317] J.B., York Springs, PA It is our constitutional right ,to decide for ourselves what goes into our bodies.Furthermore, what god has put into place needs nothing ********** [105739:100716] D.G., Bristol, PA This is actually a "No-brainer"...the health benefits of raw milk HEAVILY outweighs the risks.In our family alone, we have 7 members who are lactose intolerant,and/or have an allercic reaction because of some of the antibiotics used.Why remove our right to healthy milk products?Industrial greed...What other reasonis there,when all the science IS there to back up the health benefits of raw milk.Again-supporting local and raw supports your local economy. Thanks for valuing my educated opinion. ********** [133620:021316] T.L., London, OH We have had safe unpasteurized milk for millennia. It is time to remove this unwarranted restriction on our American freedoms. ********** [093802:021116] E.J., Loxahatchee, FL Please change this law that absolutely does not make any sense. Fast food chains poison many more people than raw dairy as well as countless other options that are not banned! Time to put consumers wishes over BIG BUSINESS ********** [170140:010416] C.E., Franklin, NC It has been obvious for years the CDC (and FDA) does not truly advocate what is healthy for Americans but what is in their best interests-a sickly America. ********** [102734:102015] S.R., Beulah, WY Please help preserve freedom and liberty to others that we here in Wyoming have already preserved with our Wyoming Food Freedom Act. ********** [110436:101515] S.L., Houston, TX I moved to France 8 years ago and have been living healthily and happily on raw milk and non-GMO foods. Consider changing the corporate control of American food and I will return. ********** [210542:101315] R.P., Excelsior, MN Please vote YES on both HB 4307 and HB 4308 in support of food freedom of choice! Thank you ********** [182430:101315] M.B., Berkeley, CA As an asthmatic I can digest raw milk and not become congested because all the enzymes and naturally occurring probiotics are intact. Please protect my right to have dairy products I can digest. ********** [161052:101315] s.m., Mount Horeb, WI I GET SICK FROM PASTEURIZED MILK AS DOES 1/3 TO 1/2 OF THE FOLKS IN THIS NATION WHO ARE LACTOSE INTOLERANT. PASTERIZATION IS AN ARTIFICIAL PROCESS THAT DESTROYS THE HEALTHYNESS OF MILK AND MAKES ME SICK WITH INFLAMMATION AND STOMACH BLOATING AND PAIN AND GAS. ONLY RAW MILK IS SAFE FOR ME TO DRINK AS I DO NOT GET ADVERSE MEDICAL EFFECTS FROM RAW MILK. THIS IS A MEDICAL FACT FOR ME AND FOR A LARGE AMOUNT OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION. ********** [174909:100815] J.B., Richland, WA My vote is to pass HB 4307 and HB 4308. Yours should be as well! Thank you! ********** [140228:062215] l.n., Fort Lauderdale, FL its out right not the govt to tell us what is OK to eat, the govt is all corrupt! ********** [054327:061615] S.P., Sterling Heights, MI Drinking raw milk should be a choice just like eating raw meat is a choice. Please stand up for what is right, and vote yes on HB 4307 and HB 4308. ********** [055238:060515] S.H., Little Elm, TX Vote YES on both HB 4307 and HB 4308 in support of food freedom of choice. ********** [153809:052115] J.W., Chico, CA Raw milk is superior nutritionally and should be available to those who choose to buy it. It is not the Federal governments job to tell people otherwise. It exceeds their constitutional authority. ********** [050614:042315] S.P., Sterling Heights, MI Raw milk is the only cow's milk that enhances human nurishment. ********** [195142:041415] G.J., Topeka, KS we are guaranteed freedom of choice in this country and have a right to choose out food, please vote yes on HB4307 and HB 4308. Thank you! ********** [160917:040715] w.p., Longmont, CO Hello--I have been a raw milk consumer for over 10 years, as have been my children. Needless to say, it has had remarkable health benefits for my whole family. I am fully aware of the risks, and frankly there is risk with pasteurized products as well. The rewards of raw far outweigh the risk, and we urge to continue to give us that freedom. Please do that right thing. ********** [054113:031715] S.W., Hillsdale, MI We have the right to choose our own food and to know exactly where it comes from. And get personal on farm tours. Local is best for everyone. ********** [134434:031315] T.B., Dayton, OH As a defendant of farmers, a mother, and a U.S. citizen I think to regulate small farmers and consumers of their products is against our constitutional rights. We should have the right to consume any food with any amount of processing we choose. We should be allowed to decide how our family eats and drinks with what ever process we choose. After all we are The land of the Free aren't we? My ancestors fought in every American war and trace my heritage back to the colonies. I should have the rights of my freedom that my family fought for! My children and my children's children deserve those same rights. My children are asthmatic and pre diabetes due to the processing of our food and We don't eat fast food often we cook at home. But what's being offered and my children's health issues have caused me to research what we eat and where the food comes from and what the animals are being feed and only buying organic. We are of mid class families and the cost to eat healthy is costly. Isn't it cheaper to not use pesticides and grass is free for our cattle and raw milk is healthy for those who choose. We have the right to choose. Please give us our rights as American citizens to eat what we want through what ever processing we choose. And to leave small farmers to farm their land how they choose ********** [083810:031115] W.M., Conowingo, MD Wow. Seriously? This is America. I came to your beautiful country because of its FREEDOM. What is wrong with you? I am 60 years old and I grew up in Germany on raw milk and products. It is absolutely healthy when the cow is kept healthy. Don't become a Dictatorship. Please Don't. If I want to buy raw milk I should be able to buy raw milk. After all. I am allowed to poison myself with cigarettes and alcohol, right? The Government has no problem with that and so why on Earth would you forbid raw Milk? Are you all out of your minds? Did you lose your sense of fairness or FREEDOM OF CHOICE? Again, raw milk is healthy. It always was. The Farmer is not stupid. He will make sure his cows and milk are healthy or he would lose his livelihood. So please, use common sense. If you take away my raw milk I DEMAND that YOU TAKE AWAY THE CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL and if you don't do that, I have to say that you have double standards. Could it be that it is actually not about our public health, but some type of GREED OR MANIPULATION? Please leave us the raw milk. Thank you !!!!! ********** [112421:030915] C.H., Saint Paul, MN We have the right to buy raw milk. It is healthier for us, when it comes from healthy animals, not factory farmed animals. I do NOT want to buy any products from factory farms. ********** [150321:022515] L.G., Port Angeles, WA We have a right to choose. Limit government involvement and stop harassing the farmers and consumers! ********** [095157:022415] K.W., Polson, MT Raw milk must be made legal. this is a freedom to farm issue and will increase the local financial benefits to millions of families. This will enable others to be able to return or start a farm kind and be able to cut costs for keeping their animals. We need to return to small local, know-your-farmer reality. We "illegally" acquire raw milk from a friend now and it is like gold for our kids that have compromised immune systems. We have all improved our health drinking raw over pasteurized milk for that last 4 months. This is a worldwide debate and America should be a leader in doing the right thing (a rarity for the majority of you all in congress these days, unfortunately). Do not sell us all out to large, unsafe and inhumane dairy operations. Give us our freedom back to choose. WE CHOOSE RAW AND LOCAL. We want to support local farmers. We want to become local farmers and offer a great product to our friends. Thank you. **********
