As more and more people wake up to health there is an increasing demand for raw milk in recognition of its nutritional benefit. It is nutritionally superior to pasteurized milk. However, our freedom to choose raw milk is seriously under threat. The CDC and the FDA are imposing their oppressive views.

To consolidate and favour Big Dairy’s current monopoly of the industry through pasteurized milk sales, the CDC have been using unjust fear-mongering tactics based on questionable claims to quash raw milk interests. Sadly, this has been quite successful. Through shady science the CDC asserts that raw dairy products including milk and cheese have caused significant numbers of microbial infections leading to illnesses and hospitalizations.

–In retrospect, this is the basis for the war on dairy farmers:  Governmental authorities  are attempting to prevent the unregulated selling of raw milk directly to consumers because the food is deemed ‘unfit for consumption.’ Indeed, this threatens the livelihood of the dairy farmers.

For those who eschew animal products – particularly meat and dairy – but understand the possible health benefits to be gained from eating foods rich in protein, a dietary conundrum is presented. Fortunately, lab-grown meat, which is promoted to be both cheaper and healthier than meat obtained from slaughterhouses, is only a handful of years away from being sold in stores.

While the concept of consuming faux meat products is nothing new, lab-grown “meat” which isn’t harvested from animals is. Unlike Tofurkey or other meat substitute products, lab-grown meat is, technically, tissue from an animal. However, it isn’t sourced from one because it is grown from a very small sample. In effect, it is deemed to be far more ethical. Additionally, the meat is said to be healthier than traditionally sourced beef (or turkey, chicken, etc…) because it is raised in a lab, therefore, won’t be contaminated with hormones or pesticides possibly obtained via ingestion.

In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast off the coast of the United States. This had unforeseen and radical consequences on the price of food. Around 2,900 oil rigs were shut down, disrupting 95% of oil production in the Gulf of Mexico — the impact of which lasted several months. While to the casual observer this may not sound terribly remarkable, it had far-reaching consequences that affected millions of people. The price of gasoline, for instance, surged around 40% in a matter of days in some places throughout the U.S.
