Doesn't "their" refer to the Zinniker Plaintiffs? Why do you think it wasn't the Plaintiffs who asked for a summary judgement? The judge denied the summary judgement. He didn't move in favor of anything. Why do you think being denied a summary judgement would mean there would be no trial? Why would it mean the Plaintiffs lost their law suit? pam

Which is addictive and causes all kinds of diseases, and yet... the government has decided that a person has the right to choose to smoke it, even to choose to expose their 2 year old children to its smoke. I couldn't find any stats on raw milk lobby expenditures. Total dairy for 2010: $5,655,885 The Maine Dairy Industry Association does support raw milk and is listed as spending $0.00 lobbying dollars last year. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death. In the United States, tobacco use is responsible for about one in five deaths annually (i.e., about 443,000 deaths per year, and an estimated 49,000 of these tobacco-related deaths are the result of secondhand smoke exposure).1 On average, smokers die 13 to 14 years earlier than nonsmokers. Costs and Expenditures The cigarette industry spends billions each year on advertising and promotions.5 $12.5 billion total spent in 2006 $34 million spent a day in 2006

http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/quail-hollow-farm-dinner.htm In order to overcome any trouble with the Health Department of cooking on the premises, most of the food was prepared in a certified kitchen in Las Vegas; and to further remove any doubt, we rented a certified kitchen trailer to be here on the farm for the preparation of the meals.

Doing some googling this all seems to have started with people getting campolbacter from the milk being sold illegally http://thefoodsafetylawyer.com/2009/09/wisconsin-raw-milk-sickens-35-campylobacter-food-poisoning/ Then the farm owners sued the state agency that fined them for selling the raw milk in the first place. http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/litigation-wi_zinniker.htm The case is now being appealed but summary judgements are pretty rarely overturned.

No. Apparently they hired a commercial kitchen for that very purpose. The issue was their food was not up to the correct temp (because they were in the process of heating it), they could not provide receipts to prove where it came from, and that the produce such as tomatoes, which were out of their packaging and cut, could not have been traced anyway. quote: Don't you only buy food only from wholesalers, commercial farms and farmer's markets that, being licensed themselves, are expected to be HAACP compliant already?

DomKen -> RE: Food safety ? (11/26/2011 6:41:02 AM)
keep in mind that we've only got the farms side of the story and even they admit they didn't prepare all the food in a commercial kitchen. It is also unclear if anyone had a sanitation cert.

The record keeping system for maintaining SHELLSTOCK tags must be an orderly, chronological system that correlates with the dates of product sale or service and is acceptable to the regulatory authority. North Carolina quote: Individual containers of live shellfish can be received without tags only if they are packed in a master carton by a certified shellfish dealer and that carton contains a master tag indicating the volume of individual packages within the carton. The master tag must remain on the master carton until that carton is empty, and then it must be kept on file for 90 days. A master carton must be maintained intact and be shipped to a single retailer only http://www.deh.enr.state.nc.us/shellfish/images/Shellfish%20FAQS_DHHS1.pdf That seems to be the standard.

kalikshama -> RE: Food safety ? (11/26/2011 6:55:02 AM)
I want to clarify that I'm not advocating raw milk from from factory farming but from "traditional methods of pasture farming, enabling humanely treated and healthy cows raised in the open on high-quality pasture grown in vibrant soil to produce safe, nutrient-dense raw milk for healthy and happy consumers." As opposed to this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/jan/31/food-industry-environment Human arrogance is one thing Salatin strongly warns against. Of course, it's one way of explaining the large-scale upset to the natural order of things. But Salatin also thinks the way you treat animals is a reflection of the way you will go on to treat human beings. One of his more romantic and far-fetched-seeming statements in the documentary is to this effect, and it turns out to be one of the most centrally, shockingly true: the treatment of illegal workers by big food corporations. Films like Food, Inc, Salatin suggests, are finally "exposing the kind of corruption and evil that is the shortcut. What happens when you don't ask: how do we make pigs happy? Well, you view the pig as just a pile of protoplasmic structure to be manipulated however cleverly human hubris can imagine to manipulate it. And when you view life from that kind of mechanistic, arrogant, disrespectful standpoint, you very soon beginto view all of life from a very disrespectful, arrogant, manipulative standpoint. And the fact is, we aren't machines."

Not sure if this has been brought up... but there was an incident at Racine. That question took on increased urgency this month after bacteria in raw milk from an unnamed farm sickened at least 16 fourth-graders and family members at a North Cape Elementary School event, resulting in one hospitalization. The June 3 after-school party was designed to celebrate Wisconsin food. Melissa Werner, 40, drank raw milk at the event with her son, Nathan, 10. Both later suffered from nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and high fever. Werner was ill for two weeks, losing 12 pounds. “Still, even now, when I eat, I can tell things aren’t 100 percent right,” she says. Cheryl Mazmanian, a health officer with the Western Racine County Health Department, says while the incident in Raymond illustrates the dangers of raw milk, it violated no state laws. “It’s not illegal to drink raw milk, it’s not illegal to give it to people, but it is illegal to sell it,” Mazmanian says. Raw milk can contain disease-causing bacteria that the pasteurization process is designed to kill.

Other than the fact that law enforcement acted without a warrant, i have little problem with what happened. The Bledsoes were responsible for following food handling laws, whether they knew it or not. i just think that local restaurants ought to be held to exactly the same standards, and i doubt they are. pam
