For the people that have been living under a rock these past few
years you have to know that the FDA is working for corporate interests.
This administration of President Obama has been dealing under the deck
and trying to please Republicans has turned on every promise made during
his campaign.

The FDA is out in full force now taking your rights away to healthy
foods away and with people like Senator John McCain who is introducing a
bill to outlaw vitamins and supplements. Recently we were advised by a
great website about the FDA invading a farm run by the Amish. This
farm was not a commercial farm at all and there was no reason for the
insurgence of FDA agents hounding this farmer for no good reason other
that to harass him or try to scare him.

Read this story which we have reprinted from the : Food
Freedom site and get off your couch, get on the phone and get angry
because this madness has to stop now.

This happened on February 4, 2010 and it can happen to you next:
Kinzers, PA – At 9:40 a.m. Thursday, February 4, only a few miles from the scene of the Nickel Mines Amish massacre of 2006, another drama
against the Amish began as agents of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) came onto the property of Amish farmer Dan Allgyer,
without permission, claiming to be conducting an investigation.
Administration (FDA) came onto the property of Amish farmer Dan Allgyer,
without permission, claiming to be conducting an investigation.
Agents Joshua Schafer and Deborah Haney, from the Delaware FDA office, drove past Allgyer’s “No Trespassing” signs and up his driveway
almost to his barn, where Allgyer happened to be outside. Allgyer
approached the car, the agents got out and Allgyer asked them why they
were there. They produced a piece of paper, asked Allgyer if he was Dan
Allgyer, which Allgyer confirmed, asked him his middle initial and
phone number, entered the information on the paper, told Allgyer they
were there to do an inspection and started reading the paper to him,
saying it gave them jurisdiction to be there.

Allgyer, which Allgyer confirmed, asked him his middle initial and
phone number, entered the information on the paper, told Allgyer they
were there to do an inspection and started reading the paper to him,
saying it gave them jurisdiction to be there.
The agents – Schafer did most of the talking – said they had a right
to be there because “you produce food for human consumption.” Dan asked
why they believed that and they said, “Well, you have cows. You cannot
be consuming all the milk you produce.” They further stated, “If you
get a milk truck in to move all this milk you sell milk to the public,
therefore we have jurisdiction.”

therefore we have jurisdiction.”
Dan said, “This is a private farm, I do not sell anything to the public.”
As they continued to harass him about doing an inspection, Allgyer said, “You can sit in your car. I will call my lawyer.”
The agents remained standing.
Allgyer called his attorney who advised him to have the agents call
him. When Allgyer told them to call his attorney Schafer replied, “You
are the owner and you have to speak for yourself.”
are the owner and you have to speak for yourself.”
They pressed him to talk and Schafer asked, “Are you refusing us an
investigation? Allgyer replied, “That’s not what I’m saying.”
They kept repeating, “Are you refusing an investigation?”
Allgyer kept saying, “Call this guy” – meaning his attorney.
Allgyer said they must have asked him six times.
One of them said, “Even if you do not say so, you are still refusing
an investigation.”
Eventually Schafer said, “If you refuse an investigation will you answer some questions?”
Allgyer said, “I’d rather not.”
When the agents continued to push him Dan said, “Is that a question?
Sheepishly, they said. ‘Yes.”
Allgyer said, “What did I say about questions?’
They replied, “Well we’re going to write this up as a refusal to have
an investigation and give it to our higher officials.”
Dan felt they were threatening him at this point.
After that, they got in their car, drove out the driveway and parked
on the neighbor’s property watching Allgyer.
A visitor, Ivan, who had been on the farm, though not part of the conversation, left in his truck soon after, and the FDA agents proceeded
to follow him in their car, even when he stopped at a convenience store
to use the facilities. After forty or fifty miles, Ivan called 911 and
told the police he was being followed.
to use the facilities. After forty or fifty miles, Ivan called 911 and
told the police he was being followed.
The state police – in two cruisers – pulled the agents over. Ivan pulled over as well.
Ivan said the police told him that the agents explained they were FDA
agents and they had the right to follow him because they were
conducting an investigation on the farm he left. They thought he had
product and they wanted samples of the product.

Ivan responded by opening the back of the truck and revealing it was
empty. The agents photographed the inside of the empty truck and gave
Ivan a paper, claiming they had a right to inspect his truck. He told
them they were harassing him. The state trooper said they had a right
to follow and pull him over but they were in an unmarked car so Ivan
would not have had to pull over.

As with Allgyer, the agents asked Ivan some information which they wrote on the paper they produced, then handed it to him.
Ivan asked them, “Why are you writing up a paper on me when you have
no cause?”
They said, “We have a cause, because you left the farm.”
They claimed he had a load off the farm and they wanted samples.
Ivan said, “I didn’t know who you were.”
An agent replied, “You saw us at the farm.”
Ivan said. “That doesn’t make any difference, I didn’t know who you
were.”
Ivan pointed out that he was at the farm but did not hear what they
said. He was twenty feet or more away from them and was not involved in
their conversation.
their conversation.
Ivan said the police told him they would record that the agents had
been following him.
A spokeswoman for the FDA (reached at the phone number on the paper
the FDA agents gave to Allgyer) said the FDA has no comment at this time
because it is an ongoing investigation.

Dan Allgyer will meet with his county sheriff in the near future to
apprise him of this incident.
We will update this story as needed. You can get on the phone and call your local congressman, your local senator, your local
representative and act on this today. The hypocrisy of the Obama family
alone is an eye opener. Last summer Michelle Obama had a wonderful
photo op on her organic garden at the Whitehouse and finally some of us
signed a breath of relief that she actually got it. She actually became
a figure with the intelligence to teach people how to grow their own
healthy organic foods fresh from the garden. However her husband is
busy making deals with drug companies allowing them to influence his
legislation and he has allowed the FDA to investigate and harass Amish
farmers.

The total disregard of an individual’s rights to buy, consume and grow their own farm fresh foods is the worst display of a totalitarian
government not seen in North America for hundreds of years. Yet this so
called President condemns countries such as Iran for their dictatorship
style -we here are experiencing the same government as Mahmound
Ahmadinejad. Obama has no right to display such disapproval of Iran
and he had better clean up his own back yard of corruption in the FDA.

that's not even 20 miles from me. funny i didn't see or hear about it anywhere. there are stands to buy local produce every mile at the most around here, tho i haven't seen anything about organic. It is all organic anyway (most of the time) . There are alot of places and signs for raw milk , and that is suppose to be illegal. That may have something to do w/ it. I get goats milk fresh from the goat in strasburg, the lady goes out and milks them right when i get there..
