Let Them Eat Grass: A New Salvo in the Food Freedom Revolutionselfnews Post Hershberger, feeling that the DATCP made an arbitrary and illegal ruling, cut the tape they had used to shut down his property and continued distributing to the paying private buying club members. He is now facing 3 years in prison and $10,000 in fines for his resistance. Hershbergers declaration of food independence has drawn the attention of major activist groups, as well as lay citizens, who see a clear attack on ones inherent human right to grow food and provide for themselves, their families and their communities without the bureaucracy of the State arbitrarily ruling otherwise. It is a direct attack on self-sufficiency that has very troubling historical parallels if not brought under control. In March, people flew in from all over the country to attend a support rally prior to Hershbergers first court appearance. Now, a full-length documentary, Let Them Eat Grass (trailer below) aims to build on the momentum started by cases like Hershbergers.A new rally has also been announced ahead of Vernons rescheduled trial date set for the week of January 7, 2013. (map and directions) While raw milk raids have attracted much attention, and there have been some key victories in the fight for food freedom, we are still reading an increasing number of stories about armed health raids and bureaucratic shutdowns of family businesses. The health activist group,Right to Choose Healthy Food, is calling to defeat government actors, including judges, from depriving us of our Constitutional rights to grow, have and eat healthy foods with our informed and intelligent choices. Please watch the first 8 minutes of this new documentary featuring Vernon Hershberger as he discusses the importance of having a healthy cycle of growth from the grass-to-glass consumption of raw milk, as well as the other products his farm produces in partnership with 100 other families. Right to Choose Healthy Food is correct that juries comprised of informed and moral citizens can nullify the corrupt nature of arbitrary bureaucratic laws. As activist Karen Goeben stated: Education leads to action. We must go on the offensive against any illegitimate source of power. For instance, in the Hershbergercase, inspector Jackie Owens apparently has no sworn oath of office on file.Consequently, she is being suedfor fraud and misrepresentation. The type of people that tend to gravitate toward these positions of inflated authority believe they are immunized by the structure that employs them. This mentality leads to comments made by the agent in the above-linked raid of Mountain Pure Water who said, Were the federal government: we can do what we want, when we want, and theres nothing you can do about it. Or another agent in the same raid, Why dont you just touch me . . . Ill show you what a federal officer can do to you. Anyone invoking authority with the reasoning that authority itself is the nature of the law needs to be personally sued. And anyone who would seek to deny the Constitutional right to consume healthy food is the enemy of America and should be treated as such.
