The milk Gestapo is at it again, this time in Wisconsin. Vernon Hershberger, an Amish farmer, has been providing people in the cheese state with fresh, raw, unadulterated milk. One would
think with a nickname like “the Cheese State” raw milk wouldn’t be such a big deal… but it is. You see, if you’re a farmer and choose not to process – by that I mean pasteurize and kill all of the life-giving enzymes and beneficial bacteria – your milk, the chances you’ll get a surprise visit from the food police are high [...]

Baby Dies at Daycare
May 7, 2013 by
A 4-month-old baby suffocated recently after too much “tummy time” at a government-run childcare facility in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The last people anyone wants to blame in this situation is the grieving parents, and I am placing the least amount of blame on them, but parents are the most effective people at preventing these kinds of tragedies.
Parents need to stop relegating their responsibilities to government. Whether it’s food, vaccinations, education or childcare, we need to do our own research. It’s up to us and us alone to ensure our children’s safety. If we’ve entrusted it to the government, we’ve been foolish.. [...]

April 24, 2013 by
If consumers knew how the majority of American chicken is raised – in concentrated animal feeding operations, or “CAFOs” – they probably wouldn’t eat it. A North Carolina chicken farmer – who calls herself an indentured servant to a cartel of poultry processors – tells Food Riot Radio she wouldn’t touch her CAFO chickens with a ten-foot pole. She raises her own heirloom breed chickens on the side, for her family’s consumption. She’s working to enlighten consumers about what their demand for cheap chicken – along with the industry’s government-enforced secrecy about how the chickens are raised – has done to the quality of their food.
In the final segment, another mother explains why she’s petitioning government to force McDonald’s and other fast food restaurants to clean-up their play places. Brad contends parents should just keep their kids out of McDonald’s altogether.

Brad and Sara chat with two “home birth” moms in North Carolina about the increasing government crackdown on home-birth midwives. The mothers – who have birthed 9 children at home between them – explain why they avoid hospital birth like the plague, and why they feel their parental rights are being infringed when government tells them where they can and can’t deliver their babies.
