Throughout this nation it is becoming commonplace for state and federal governments to raid food buying clubs, private food co-ops, family farms and even micro farms. The reason these raids are taking place is that the FDA has determined that we are not smart enough to decide what we want to eat. They are making sure that we have a hard time getting food that is actually good for us and fulfilling their public health mission. This is the first in a three article series profiling two cases in the state of Missouri to illustrate what will be terrifically commonplace once Senate Bill 510, (The Food Safety Modernization Act-third article) is in place.

In Missouri we have families, and a food freedom movement, that are being persecuted, and I use that term intentionally, with accusation aforethought. The first family I am going to profile is the Bechard’s of Conway, Missouri. They are facing prosecution by Attorney General Koster for violating the following State statute and were also taken to court -and convicted- by Green County Health Department for “operating a food establishment without a permit”. Basically, they are being taken to court for trying to make a living from their lawful product. Their crime? Providing people with fresh milk that tested out to be perfectly fine and had no complaints or reports of illness associated with it at all.

The Bechard’s have a small farm, where they raise sheep, poultry and cattle and sell their products directly to consumers. They milk six cows and are not a “graded” facility. They deliver milk to their customers at a pre-arranged pick up point in the parking lot of Mama Jeans Natural Foods in Springfield, Missouri. In April of 2009, their eldest daughters were delivering the milk and were approached by someone wanting to buy a half-gallon of milk. Since they had it, they sold it to the man. Two weeks later, the same thing occurred. These two on the spot sales were to employees of the Green County Health Department.

The Health Department tested the milk. What they found was that there was no problem with the milk at all. The first half-gallon was kept overnight possibly on a kitchen counter and did have a high somatic cell count. The second batch was taken to the lab within an hour and had a very low somatic cell count attesting to the Bechard’s cleanliness. These two sales landed the Bechard’s in court.

Let’s look at the state charge first. Here is the pertinent Missouri law on milk :

State milk inspection required on all graded fluid milk or milk products--pasteurization required, exception.

196.935. No person shall sell, offer for sale, expose for sale, transport, or deliver any graded fluid milk or graded fluid milk products in this state unless the milk or milk products are graded and produced, transported, processed, manufactured, distributed, labeled and sold under state milk inspection and the same has also been produced or pasteurized as required by a regulation authorized by section 196.939 and under proper permits issued thereunder. Only pasteurized graded fluid milk and fluid milk products as defined in subdivision (3) of section 196.931 shall be sold to the final consumer, or to restaurants, soda fountains, grocery stores, or similar establishments; except an individual may purchase and have delivered to him for his own use raw milk or cream from a farm.

Evidently, Missouri Attorney General Koster doesn’t understand either the term “graded” or the meaning of the word “except”, and is opting for redefining that word by putting a family’s livelihood on the line and moving forward with prosecution of Armand Bechard for selling his milk to individuals who want the product. Koster’s argument for pursuing a case against the Bechard’s is that he has gone back and read through the floor arguments from 1972 when the law was enacted in Missouri and believes that the legislators didn’t mean what they actually wrote into law. Koster has also consulted with the bureaucracy that is “in charge” of milk in Missouri, “The Milk Board”. Incidentally, the new chair of the Milk Board is also on the Green County Health Department and is driving the charges against the Bechard’s.

For years, the Milk Board has periodically threatened providers of fresh milk with fines and penalties if they continue to sell their product. Usually, the threats come after the Milk Board has made telephone calls to providers of milk listed on a Weston A. Price website called Real Milk. We are listed on that site, and from three weeks to two months prior to actions from the Milk Board instructing people to “cease and desist” or be fined for selling milk, we receive calls for milk from several hours away asking if we have milk for sale; and then I know something is about to happen. This is exactly what happened before the “sting” on the Bechard family occurred.

In the two most recent state legislative sessions there has been a bill put forth to clarify that it is lawful for people to sell their milk to individuals for their own use. Both times, the Milk Board maintained that it wasn’t necessary and once they even wrote a letter for dissemination clarifying that it was indeed legal to sell milk from a farm directly to an individual.

Attorney General Koster asked the Bechard’s to sign a consent decree that states they will never deliver milk at a common pick up point again and instead will take all milk directly to the residence of the people wanting the milk. It also stipulates that the Bechard’s are guilty of violating state law and amounts to a confession of guilt.

Not too surprisingly, this wasn’t an appealing way to resolve the issue for the Bechard’s. We are talking about a product that is not stable in all temperatures and that needs to stay cool so it doesn’t go bad and breed bacteria. If they were to drop off product at residences, there is no telling how long the product could be without refrigeration. People do still work, and most families have both the husband and wife working, so the chances of meeting people at their homes when delivery is possible for all parties is small. The Bechard’s, like anyone in business, are interested in keeping their customers happy, so increasing the chances of sour milk on the doorstep isn’t an idea they want to entertain.

This case will begin in earnest this fall, and the availability of fresh milk in Missouri is dependent on the outcome of this State case against the Bechard’s.

Armand Bechard says, “In 2003 we called and asked the Health Department if we needed to do anything special to sell our milk and they told us that in our situation, according to the law, we were a farm and therefore exempt; we needed no permits at all. That’s what the code in Green County actually states, and we have been selling milk since then in this manner.” Asked if there had been any changes to the municipal code and Armand asserts that there are no changes regarding farm products. The only thing offered in explanation of the suit against them was that the Health Department had adopted the 1999 FDA Food Code. So, evidently, if someone from the Health Department says you need a permit, then you need a permit; even if state and county law don’t require it. Never mind what the law actually says, we’re now being run by the whimsy of agents running off initiatives of Federal bureaucracies. It’s not too comforting for those of us who tend to think unregulated thoughts.

Common sense would dictate that the Bechard case should be a non-issue. No reports of illnesses and no complaints whatsoever about the product, no clear violation of the law, should be no problem, right? But we can’t apply logic to the legal system. The judge found Armand Bechard guilty of violating the Green County Health Department’s adoption of the 1999 FDA Food Code by “operating a food establishment without a permit”. The family pick up truck used to deliver milk is the “establishment”. The County was asking for $1,000 fine and 6 months in jail for selling an unregulated product that caused no harm to any one. The sentence rendered was a $250 fine. Bechard is appealing and has been awarded a new trial.

So the question becomes, what is the Food Code? It is currently a nearly 700 page document for cities, counties, states and local governments to write regulations for their citizens. The initiatives in the Food Code are not necessarily Federal law, they are generally desires of the FDA and are more in line with the international Food Code of Codex Alimentarius than actual regulations or statutes from the Federal government. Wholesale adoption of the Food Code is a dangerous thing for freedom, yet nearly all states have adopted some version as part of their Health Department program. Cooperative Agreements between state and local governments to implement the Food Code are usually accompanied by a big sweaty pile of your money. One of these initiatives included in the Food Code is Healthy People 2020. This is a program through HHS that is supposed to make us all quite healthy. One objective of Healthy People 2020 is to increase the number of states that prohibit the sale or distribution of unpasteurized dairy products.

Missouri is a state with a very obstinate strain of people, especially in the Ozarks region of the state where the Bechard’s and Morningland Dairy (the other issue I am profiling for you in this series) are located. The Missouri Mule is famous because it adequately displays the characteristics of the citizens of the state. As a general rule, we won’t be pushed or coerced into doing something we don’t want to do. I personally find it a little more than interesting that the MIAC Report, targeting close to 70% of the citizens of the state and these recent attacks on raw dairy are happening here, where resistance is great.

If Missouri falls to full implementation of the Food Code and Healthy People 2020 the rest of the states will likely be little competition for the overreaching federal government controls brought to full enforcement by the Food Safety Modernization Act (S510). Meanwhile, we continue to fight for the right to eat what we choose, and the Bechard family faces increasing court costs. The bottom line of all of this is that if you are at all interested in agriculture, meaning you have an interest in continuing to eat food, you must become an ‘agtivist’. No Farmers-No Food.

Last I knew it was still in committee. There is a lot of opposition so they will likely try to slide it under the Radar.

Any lawyer worth his salt should be able to get all charges dismissed. It's pretty clear that they are being maliciously prosecuted, where they did not break the law at all.

I would think so, but some of these crooked pervert judges will rule on a whim.

No, starvation is their plan. Those in D.C. are trying to pull what Stalin did in 1930's Ukraine.

This would make it a crime to have a garden in the backyard.

Only for those who don't wish to ingest what they have to offer. The masses are programmed to simply buy the tastiest and cheapest they can find, and with diminished income, that becomes a necessity for many.

Thing is, those "tastiest and cheapest foods" pitched in various ads contain very toxic substances, and because of that the vast majority of the population will come down with serious illnesses due to those toxins, resulting in both mental and physical ailments.

Who will pay to make them better? Who will profit?

From Bovine Growth Hormone, MSG, Aspartame, to Genetically Modified Foods, Fluoride, and suitable psychotripic medications, the populace is being drugged and poisoned unwittingly.

Edit:

Should have also mentioned vaccines, which have never been shown to be effective, yet have caused MANY health problems ranging from neurological disorders and deficits in mental functioning, to constant fatigue, paralysis, and even death.

If Senate Bill S 510 passes you can count on this being repeated in every state nation wide. And under that bill there are no exemptions for family farms or even raising your own. This is up to and including a vegetable garden in your yard which would be illegal without approval, and you could only buy and use approved seeds - say from Monsanto.

I've heard people say that, but as far as I can tell, it does NOT include your home garden. They certainly can't stop the sale of heirloom seeds, hell, you can eventually tweak a crap hybrid into a decent product with enough splicing and crossing then sell the seeds.

Regardless, I guess that really doesn't pertain, if the rumor is persistent now as it is, it seems to me that it's probably in the works if not in the letters yet.

I'm honestly beginning to wonder how much longer we, the normal type people in the nation, are going to keep bowing to this level of micro management. The average person won't balk at regulations generally, but when it gets down to the levels where you can't farkin' open your front door without permission, then notion starts occurring to you that you're being treated like a dumb animal.

It is NO rumor and the bill would impose draconian restrictions. Basically it would put many small heirloom seed companies, as well as small family farms, out of business. Seed companies would have to follow new guidelines which would, in effect, because of the restrictions and powers granted the FDA, give them the power to effectively outlaw organic farming and gardening along with Farmer's Markets.

As with a lot of the control bills of this type the devil is in the details. You need to read some of the analyses of the bill and its implications to get the full flavor of how extensive these so-called "food safety" "guidelines"(protection of factory farms and pesticide producers from competition and greater control of the population) and restrictions go.

The backdrop is that there is a growing movement of consumers to organic and local because people are increasingly aware of what is in the trash marketed as food in major supermarkets. {This by the way, consumer voluntary movement, was one of the real reasons for Obamacare as it enshrines Pharmaceutical based "medicine" (and thus Big Pharma's profits) by making it the only compensated form of hellthcare.} It is not yet a tidal wave but it is a small but rapidly growing segment of consumers are buying local and organic. The movement is particularly strong here in Oregon. Major producers are under increasing pressure to clean up their act which in their view affects profits. That was the reason for the establishment of the phony USDA Organic as opposed to the much tighter restrictions and requirements of private certification groups such as Oregon Tilth. As well the history of regulation in any industry in the U.S. is that the regulation is always constructed to inconvenience, or eliminate, small operations and protect the large players with deep pocketbooks.

As it stands now the bill is bottled up because of the large amount of pushback from small farmers and organic consumers. However, mega-companies who want the government to outlaw their competition, such as Monsatan, want the bill as the paperwork burden and fees hurt their small competition while being of little notice to the mega-farms. The licensing fees would be the same if you have ten acres or ten thousand.

S 510 is hissing in the grass Lots of links in the article and in the comments.

Stop Senate Bill 510 — Save Organic Food

Excerpt:

"The FDA Would Have the Power to Destroy Organic Farming

But perhaps the worst part of S. 510 is giving the FDA the power to completely regulate every detail of how farmers grow and harvest produce. It has been said that the power to regulate is the power to destroy. The FDA could require all farmers to use harmful pesticides, thus destroying organic food forever. It could require farmers to use only certain varieties of seeds. It could even require farmers to use GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms). Since the FDA has in the past been extremely friendly to large industrial agriculture operations and to the companies that make pesticides and GMOs, this is a serious concern. This bill would give the FDA the power to greatly increase the profits of large agriculture corporations by forcing all farmers to use their products. The FDA could even require that all produce be irradiated, supposedly to improve food safety. If you think this is farfetched, consider the fact that federal agencies have already advocated the use of irradiation as the best means of improving food safety. There is no justification for giving the FDA such power

While the House version of S. 510 orders the FDA to “consider the impact” of its regulations on small-scale and diversified farms, this requirement is so vague that it is meaningless. Nothing prevents the FDA from making any regulations it wants, regardless of the impact on small farmers. The FDA can always say it “considered the impact” of its regulations."

Or this pig simply doesn't care! His power is more important than truth and reality. It must be nice when you can act like a pig and indiscriminately choose to consume taxpayer resources on whatever your personal preference is.

My guess would be that if you dug into this guys background you would find that he is getting money in some fashion from either large producers, Monsanto, or in some way has a personal financial interest in restricting competition.

what is the Food Code? It is currently a nearly 700 page document for cities, counties, states and local governments to write regulations for their citizens.

Analogy:

The MCDONALD'S CORPORATION issued a 700-page memomorandum to its employees regarding the production and sale of food on its menu.....

"ATTENTION PUBLIC SERVANTS

...We are now in an international private commercial jurisdiction in colorable admiralty-maritime under the Law Merchant. We have been conned and betrayed out of our sovereignty, rights, property, freedom, common law, Article III Courts, and

The Bill of Rights has been statutized into "civil rights" in commerce. You have destroyed the Republic. America has been stolen. We have been made slaves, i.e. permanent debtors, bankrupt, in legal incapacity, rendered commercial "persons," "residents," and corporate franchisees known as "citizens of the United States".

Since 1933 what is called the "United States Government" is a privately owned corporation of the Federal Reserve/International Monetary Fund. It is merely an instrument whereby the bankers administer their ongoing subjugation and plunder of what was once considered "the last great hope of human freedom." All "public servants," officials, Congressmen, politicians, judges, attorneys, law enforcement officers, States and their various agencies, etc., are the express agents of these foreign principals - see Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938; 22 USC 286 et seq, 263A, 185G, 267J, 611(C) (ii) & (iii); Treasury Delegation Order #91 - who have stolen the country by clever, intentional, and unrelenting fraud, trickery, treachery, non-disclosure, miss-representation, intrigue, coercion, conspiracy, murder.
