Cops raid an organic raw foods store with their guns drawn. Why? Was there some sort of danger from these Venice Beach hippies? Come on.
From Y/T:
July 25, 2010|By P.J. Huffstutter, Los Angeles Times
With no warning one weekday morning, investigators entered an organic grocery with a search warrant and ordered the hemp-clad workers to put down their buckets of mashed coconut cream and to step away from the nuts.
Then, guns drawn, four officers fanned out across Rawesome Foods in Venice. Skirting past the arugula and peering under crates of zucchini, they found the raid's target inside a walk-in refrigerator: unmarked jugs of raw milk.
"This is about control and profit, not our health," said Aajonus Vonderplanitz, co-founder of Rawesome Foods. "How can we not have the freedom to choose what we eat?"

notarobotRaw milk is dangerous. That is why it is illegal.
Marijuana is dangerous. That is why it is illegal.
gharkDriving is dangerous. That is why it is il... oh wait
Having unprotected sex is dangerous. That is why it is.. oh snap!
baasharsays...Whats the story here? This seems just a tad ridiculous
Croccydilesays...This is actually not the first time I've heard about this. Apparently the government takes raw milk really seriously as a "health risk".
Either way, what the hell with the guns? Were they expecting to find "organic" marijuana? Oh right...
BloocutJust like big pharmy hates marijuana for obvious reasons, big dairy hats raw milk. Unpasteurized means uncontrolled. The cops are simply doing their simpleton jobs: enforcing the control apparatus.
How many thousands of years have humans consumed unpasteurized dairy?
Jinxsays...Is that Danny DeVito?
