What Is Going On in the Food Safety World?
We have not intended to keep any of this a secret. We thought you knew.
Click here to obtain Aajonus' expert report, written with Dr. Douglass, entitled "Petition and Report in Favor of Natural Milk". Copies were personally handed to each congressperson a few years ago by Aajonus and a few friends but only a few dared to look at the hidden scene that it uncovers.
This reads like raw material for a Dan Brown novel. It gives the actual time, location and who's who - the entire history from several generations ago. It also gives laboratory and scientific data in understandable terms, and footnotes sources.

Re: Oppose S.510
Dear Representative,
I oppose the unconstitutional S. 510 that was passed in Senate on 11/30/10. It opens the floodgates for tyrannical federal bureaucrats to crush the food industry's small businesses. Sen. Coburn said that this fake "food safety" bill will raise food prices, add $1.5 billion to deficit, add unfunded state mandates, and drive up the costs of food production by adding more layers of government interference. It will NOT increase food safety one bite.
Despite contrary claims, close examination of S. 510 reveals that the FDA acquires even more power than before to shut down family farms on a whim. As I write this, the few provisions that give some protections to small-scale farmers are under attack by Big Ag, which doesn't want to give your local food producers an inch of wiggle room.
The bill also empowers federal agencies to impose international guidelines and standards on domestic food producers - molding American food production into an unhealthy globalist Codex system.
Don't let the statists empower their Big Agriculture allies and destroy reputable food producers like the independent family farm, where the free market works every day to provide the public with healthy choices.
Stop the FDA’s War on Food! Kill S.510.
Sincerely,
(your name, city, state and zip code)

The Battle for Our Food Isn't Anywhere NEAR Over Yet! Keep Reading to Find Out Just How Far From The Fat Lady's Song We Are!
Blatently Unconstitutional, S 510 Can Be Killed
TAKE THE NEW ACTION ITEM NOW, VIRALIZE IT, TWEET IT, FACEBOOK IT NOW
TELL BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE TO KILL S510, THE FOOD FASCISM BILL
TAKE ACTION ITEM NOW TO TELL BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE TO KILL S510!
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5303
TWEET, Facebook ACTION ITEM WITH THIS TINY URL: http://tinyurl.com/3xdz3lp
AND NOW TAKE THIS ACTION ITEM TO TELL THE HOUSE TO KILL S510
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5270
Why Take Both? The Answer is Right Here:
1. Senate Has Not Reported S510 Out To House Yet!
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT COULD DIE AT THIS STAGE (good)
2. S510, Section 107 is unconstitutional (only the House can raise revenue) so the House can
2a. "Blue Flag" S510 and send it back to the Senate or
2b. The House can defeat S510 (good)
2c. The House can pass S510 as sent to it (bad)
3. If the House Blue Flags S510, it goes back to the Senate where
3a. The Senate could defeat S510 (good) or
3b. The Senate could run out of time to pass an amended S510 (good) or
3c. The Senate could pass S510 after the amendment to remove Sec. 107. It would then send it to the House again where
3.1 The House could defeat it (good) or
3.2 The House could pass it (tragically bad)
It is time to hammer both the House and the Senate really, really hard.
"Swingin' the Freedom Hammer!"
Back in the 60's there was a freedom song that said, "If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning, I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land. I'd hammer out justice, I'd hammer out freedom, I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters all, all over this land!"
Now, as then, we DO have a hammer.

Eternal Vigilance: Commentary by Trustee Ralph Fucetola, JD

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty—power is ever stealing from the many to the few…. The hand entrusted with power becomes … the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by unintermitted Agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity."
-- Wendell Phillips, speech in Boston, Massachusetts, January 28, 1852
"A desperate Senate lame-duck majority sees its last chances to impose Food Fascism on America dwindling fast. The authors of this horror, primarily Reid and Harkin, can be expected to try any maneuver in their parliamentary-bag-of-tricks to sneak S.510 (and perhaps the other bad bills) through Congress during the waning hours of the session… and they have about two weeks to do so!
Says one commentator: “Senate sponsor of “the most dangerous legislation in history” – S 510 – Sen. Tom Harkin (IA) insists they’ll find a way to get this FDA food control package through – despite the fact that the House has pointed out its unconstitutionality – (Due to King Harry’s Senate passing a law full of new taxes) a job reserved by the U.S. Constitution for the House of Representatives only.” Read more: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=7653

One day to elections, the right to choose healthy food.
And let's use this time to call president Obama 202-456-1111 (or fax at 202-456-2461) and tell him to NOT support these food bills: S510 and S3767. There is government tyranny here in interfering with our rights to choose healthy foods, based on our own research and knowledge of which foods will be healthy for us to consume. Do we want criminal penalties for those involved in choosing/dispensing these foods?
I hope you will also call your senators and let them know the same.
All have personnel answering the phones.
Thanks! Barbara Ellingson.

I Came Back... You Can Too
It took me four years full time to get well... The day after my diagnosis I closed my business, went on a fast, joined a Zen group, and literally turned my world upside down. I said to myself "...I can figure out what's up with me and fix me..." So I took my skills and went at my body, researched, asked, busted balls, spent all my money, then begged for free help, went away on retreats, fasted more, and in the mist of it signed up for a full load at college, which dismayed my friends and relatives, for in their mind I was dying...I studied, sat on my pillow and meditated, became close to a qigong master, and traveled the country to find the best teacher... One time I had to be emergency airlifted home, arriving at my acupuncturist near death, scarring the life out of him...I needed to rebuild myself from the inside out, to become literally a new creature.
I ate the wildest shit, I was raw for two years, lived on wheat grass and sprouts, then soo thin I could hardly stand I knew I need to be nourished... I found a man who told me about the primal diet, a raw diet that included all foods... Meat, eggs, tons of raw butter, goat milk, cream, and raw greens... After 2.5 months on that I awoke... (let me say that for years I had bleed every day, I’d awake with blood on my pillow, my nose clogged with it, my bed soaked from nite sweats, I would sleep on beach towels to absorb the sweat, changing them many times each nite) that morning no blood in my nose, my bed was dry. I thought... hmmm oh how interesting... hee hee...
This was the beginning... In the next two years I worked on my spleen (it was huge), rebuilt my body... I am now well, whole...

Aajonus on the radio Friday Oct. 29th!
Apparently this station is accessible in most locations around the USA. The show is called Daniel Chapter One HealthWatch (now CENSORED). The interviewers Jim and Tricia Feijo are particularly interested in the issues surrounding raw milk, it's benefits, availability and so on.
There is a phone number associated with this: 386-776-2009. You could probably get assistance in connecting and might be able to ask live questions or make comments during the interview.
Please tell anyone who might want to hear Aajonus on this topic.
Highest regards,
Jim Ellingson

Aajonus answers about food bills and priorities
Aajonus (click here to find who he is) was asked in a recent question and answer session in Marina Del Rey, California, about harmful bills being pushed through congress, which would interfere with healthy food.
He pointed out (paraphrased by Jim) that the Right to Choose Healthy Food is priority for Primal Dieters to safeguard the legality of raising and having food by small farmers and share owners.
He asks for $100 from 3,000 people strictly to achieve victory in the legal field. He pointed out that those who do not donate [quoted from an earlier email] "are all right with losing your choices for the foods you wish to consume.
"If you are not okay with that, then please donate to Right To Choose Healthy Food through Paypal to optimal@earthlink.net; or at www.RawMilk.org, or send check to RTCHF, POB 176, Santa Monica, CA 90406-0176. We must hurt government in the only place it suffers, loss of time for and money from its budget for lawsuits."
After that priority, we have a responsibility to tell our congress people in no uncertain terms to kill all harmful food bills. Aajonus referred to the Natural Solutions Foundation whom I quote here:
S.3767, New Companion Bill to S. 510 Introduces Severe Criminal Penalties
For "Adulterating" Food, Which To FDA Means... Selling Supplements!

3. Check http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm to Find Your Senators' Phone Numbers.
Call Your Senators and Leave a Strongly Worded Message Like This One, Two, Three, Four:
1. S.510 is a CONTROVERSIAL BILL, adding criminal penalties to it through S.3767 is more controversial --
2. Please, Senator, put a HOLD on ALL "FOOD SAFETY" bills!
3. Senator, don't let it be pushed through the Senate immediately by parliamentary means as a non-controversial bill.
4. The bill can be reintroduced in January when hearings can held to allow groups which are opposed to the bill to tell how it will affect them and the American food supply."
Postscripts from Jim:
No comparable bills in the House of Representatives appear to be live at this time. If/when I find out differently I will let you know about that as well.
Also, there is a warning from The Hill (news) that Senate majority leader may try to force a controversial vote today or tomorrow or conceivably attach it to another bill in a mad rush to pass S.510 and many other very questionable bills all now or immediately after the elections.

This is for people with pets who eat healthy raw foods.
"My 16 month old dog has been eating raw longer than I have, VBG! He was my inspiration for trying the Primal Diet. He beat all his litter-mates in this year's WRA Nationals (Whippet straight racing 200 yards per race, 4 races in the day) coming in 19th of 63 dogs entered. He's a wonderful athlete and a joy to have.
"He was on the raw diet for 3 weeks before I got him. Then I tried the vet's suggested dog food but he stopped eating. After reading "Switching to Raw" by Susan K. Johnson, he started eating again when I offered him raw food. He loves it. And now 1-year later we can see what a healthy happy boy he is. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm looking for a racing buddy in a second Whippet for him to run with at the Dog Park."

Choosing to Lose Your Rights to the Healthy Foods You Consume
Please read all the way to the end or if you are in a hurry, just read the last paragraph starting "When Rawesome was raided..."
Aajonus' message of September 10th, 2010:
Can I, small farmers and you be considered enemies of government because we fight for our right to have healthy foods? Can we be jailed without offense, charge or trial? Obama announces his treasonable plan to adopt Hitler-style regime that completely removes civil rights. [Does he have] ...Bush-like plans for World Order? Watch this before it is pulled from the internet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbslm1h8xjI&feature=related
Message of September 11th, 2010:
Hi, everyone,
Thank your for your replies both positive and negative. I was trying to be brief because everyone is so overwhelmed with emails but my brevity backfired with some of you.
...
...Obama ... is ... fulfilling the wishes of those who want One World Order. Less than 1% of the USA population knew who he was, so how did he become President with almost no notoriety and only a short campaign? More on Obama below.
For those who thought my email was fear-mongering: If fear is realistic action to curb loss of freedom, then it is not fear-mongering. Look what freedoms of healthy-food choices we suffered in the last 10 years: loss of truly organic foods free of any industrial chemicals; fresh raw fruit and vegetable juices off shelves of ANY store; meats including fish that is not tainted with chlorine, fluoride and other poisonous cleansers; easy access to raw milk without government harassment; and almost total elimination of our right to raw-meat recipes in restaurants except sushi bars.
The raids on food clubs, private coops and small farmers has increased immeasurably since last January and the feds are doing it with falsified warrants claiming felony behavior (necessary for such warrants) when all everyone is ever charged or threatened to be charged is misdemeanors. I think the feds took it from Obama's speech last year that they can claim just about anything they want and get away with it. Three of the 40 clubs I try to protect were raided and the suppliers raided after they confiscated our computers and data. Therefore, I think that regurgitating Obama's speech is pertinent. When five of us lobbied for a raw milk bill in Congress in Spring 2007, Obama's office was the only one that outright told us that if we wanted a bill written by them, we would have to pay thousands of dollars and if we wanted the bill to pass, "much more than tens of thousands of dollars." That was before we told him about what we were asking. Obama even agreeing that prolonged detention is okay was enough to encourage law-enforcers (misnomer?) to do as they please. Maybe I am not objective enough because I am fed up and time-consumed with all of this government intervention in our right to healthy food and our pursuit to be healthy. Please understand me and that we must stop this now before it escalates more. Thank you.
When Rawesome was raided in Venice, California June 30th, I sent an email asking for donations to bring a lawsuit for the 4 violations of our civil rights. Only 58 people donated out of the many thousands who received my message. We collected about $37,000. As I stated in my email, we need $300,000. Of course some of you cannot afford to donate but most of you can afford at least $100 to try and protect your right to healthy food. If only 3,000 people donated $100 dollars, that would cover it. Since so few of you donated, I must assume that most of you are all right with losing your choices for the foods you wish to consume. If you are not okay with that, then please donate to Right To Choose Healthy Food through Paypal to optimal@earthlink.net; or at www.RawMilk.org, or send check to RTCHF, POB 176, Santa
healthfully,
aajonus
PS. The talk on Food Chain Radio with me was a bust this morning. The host called me about 2 minutes prior to the show and said he would call me again after he increased his calling card fees. I waited for his call for 30 minutes. During that 30 minutes, four people from USA called me about not being on the show. I was unable to call the show on its 800 number because I am abroad. Almost 50 minutes into the show, Jim Ellingson conferenced me into the show. When his calling card expired, I was disconnected so my appearance was brief.

More details of Aajonus' radio interview this Saturday
Two giant farms sold us a half-billion rotten eggs, and so agents of the government, with guns drawn and warrants in hand, are breaking down the doors of the little people who sell fresh, whole foods to their neighbors. But…
Why is government attacking little people with no problems instead of big people with lots of problems?
This Saturday at 9am Pacific, Michael Olson’s Food Chain Radio hosts Brigette Ruthman of Joshua’s Farm in Massachusetts, and Aajonus Vonderplanitz of the Rawsome Food Coop in Los Angeles, for Part II of a three-part conversation about the food safety crisis.
Topics include a look at government enforcement actions against the purveyors of fresh, whole foods; why government is attacking small producers with little or no food safety problems, while ignoring giant producers with huge food safety problems; and what government hopes to accomplish by attacking the little people.

Bill S. 510 re: 'food safety' - thought it was dead? Think again.
The FDA would be expanded by nearly 4,000 new bureaucrats in the year 2010 so they can perform this 'operation'.
If you thought S. 510 was defeated, you should click here to read an informative article. Certain factions have too much at stake to leave it alone. You need to be informed of the tactics they are using. Your voice needs to be heard again; contact your senators today.

Raw Milk Conumers - Win a Battle Today and a War Tomorrow
Falls Church, Virginia (August 20, 2010) - In a complex federal district court ruling, Judge Mark W. Bennett refused to grant a motion by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to dismiss a lawsuit filed against the agency by the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) and eight other named plaintiffs. The lawsuit argues that federal regulations (21 CFR 1240.61 and 21 CFR 131.10) prohibiting raw milk for human consumption in interstate commerce are unconstitutional as applied to FTCLDF’s members and the other plaintiffs named in the suit.
In his August 18 decision, Judge Bennett denied part of FDA’s motion to dismiss while reserving judgment on the remainder. As part of his ruling, the judge ordered proceedings in the case to be stayed sixty days to allow plaintiffs time to decide whether to file a ‘citizen petition’ with FDA. The petition would ask FDA to clarify its interpretation of the authorizing statutes and regulations giving the agency power to ban raw milk for human consumption in interstate commerce. If plaintiffs choose to file the citizen petition, the court would continue to delay the suit until the administrative proceedings were completed or until FDA failed to take action within the time the law requires. If plaintiffs declined to pursue the citizen petition, Judge Bennett indicated the court would reconsider FDA’s motion to dismiss.
In Judge Bennett’s view, the main question FDA needs to answer in the petition process is
whether § 1240.61 applies to and proscribes the conduct of (1) persons who travel from one state, where it is not legal to purchase raw milk, to another state, where it is legal to purchase raw milk, legally purchase raw milk, then return to
the original state where they consume the raw milk themselves or give it to their friends or family members; or (2) a principal and agent who agree that the agent will obtain raw milk out-of-state, where it is legal to do so, and to deliver it to the principal in the principal’s home state, where sales of raw milk are not permitted; or (3) a producer of raw milk who sells raw milk in an intrastate transaction to persons that he knows are from out of state.
All of the individually named plaintiffs in the lawsuit fit into one of the three scenarios described above. Section 1240.61 provides in part,
No person shall cause to be delivered into interstate commerce or shall sell, or otherwise distribute, or hold for sale or other distribution after shipment in interstate commerce any milk or milk product in final package form for direct human consumption unless the product has been pasteurized….
Judge Bennett sees the citizen petition as a way to resolve the question of
whether the plaintiff’s conduct involves or affects “interstate commerce” sufficiently to fall within the proscriptions of § 1240.61, and, still more specifically, whether the plaintiffs’ conduct constitutes “delivery [of raw dairy products] into interstate commerce” or “distribution” of raw dairy products after shipment in interstate commerce.
Plaintiffs have survived the first round in the case. They have until October 18 to determine what their next course of action will be.

Primal Diet - a 'thank you' note to Aajonus
Also soon after beginning the Primal Diet, my peri-menopause reversed, and only came back 2 years ago, at age 54. A number of other nice youthing [anti-aging] things happened! And I have better color and more energy than many 20 year-olds I know. Whenever I've had a health issue, Aajonus's advice has always been right on and worked. Our doggie is also Primal Diet and the picture of health.
Recently I visited a 54 year old lady with MS in a nursing home. I was filled with compassion and gratitude that this could have been me. Thank you, Aajonus, for your work."
Love,
