“How can government dictate what we choose to eat when we each have unique standards for good nutrition?” Although I believe many could care less about good nutrition, as most believe food only needs to taste good to the eater to qualify for a trip down the gullet, I certainly agree with this rhetorical (or not) question. The government has no business what-so-ever dictating what we can and cannot eat.
The article this quote was taken from is about a recent raw milk “sting” operation by our government agencies, The Freedom to Buy and Sale Raw Milk. I encourage you to read it, and the other articles on Raw Milk at the Lew Rockwell site. I haven’t read the others yet, but guessing they’ll be good too.
If you haven’t heard about the raid on the Amish milk farm, here’s a link about the “year long” sting operation on them.
And a note about legislation introduced by Ron Paul in May to allow distribution of raw milk. From the article: “No matter what one’s personal position is on the issue of consuming dairy products, the freedom to buy and sell raw milk is a fundamental right afforded to every American under the US Constitution.”
The winner of our Vision Forum Giveaway was MomOfFour.

To Survive and Prosper: It’s Time to Think Strategically
About Your Children, Your Household, and Your Family Culture!
If you are a Christian parent living in the twenty-first century, you need to think strategically about your family. Settling for the priorities and practices of the world is a proven formula for disaster. As parents, we must do more than settle. We must self-consciously choose. This requires strategic biblical thinking. It means self-consciously building your family culture. And whether the subject is entertainment choices, home décor, travel, music in the home, or dealing with antagonistic relatives, it means that wise, Scripturally-informed parents must think creatively as they aggressively engage impediments and obstacles to success.
Beginning March 1st, Vision Forum is launching a 20 week series called “Family Strategies: Practical Issues for Building Healthy Families”. In these weekly 30 minute downloads, Doug and Beall Philllips will share their helpful strategies for building a strong, safe, and visionary family culture.
If you order by the end of this month you’ll get $10 off and 2 Bonus audios – BUT…

“How should the life of a Christian woman be lived out prior to marriage? What does that life look like for young girls as well as older daughters? And how do daughters and parents explain the role of the young lady in the home to their extended families, pastors, and loved ones?
“Jasmine Baucham, the oldest daughter of Christian speaker, author, and church elder Dr. Voddie Baucham, answers these real-life questions in her new book, Joyfully at Home.
“With humor, humility, and heart, Jasmine offers insight from her own struggles and victories as a young woman, tackling the tough questions Christian girls face and offering practical counsel on how to overcome false views of marriage, husbands, and singleness.”

There are many medical procedures where the cure is worse than the dis-ease. There are also many where the risks far outweigh the benefits. This can be especially true, when it comes to infants.
Hepatitis B vaccination has been recommended by federal health officials since 1991 for all infants and children.
There are now hepatitis B vaccine mandates for children to attend daycare or school in 47 states, despite strong evidence that the health risks of doing this outweighs the benefit for your child.
Three hepatitis B shots are part of the standard government-recommended childhood vaccination schedule, with the first dose given at 12 hours of age in the newborn nursery of most hospitals.
But hepatitis B is a primarily blood-transmitted disease associated with risky lifestyle choices such as unprotected sex with multiple partners and intravenous drug use involving sharing needles—it is NOT primarily a “children’s disease.”
… [About the risks]
You can find many of these tragic cases presented in peer reviewed medical journals over the past twenty years. (For scientific references, go to this page.)
The array of serious health problems people have reported experiencing after hep B vaccinations is quite shocking:
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Guillain Barre syndrome
- Bell’s Palsy
- Diabetes
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Lupus
- Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia purpura
- Convulsions, and brain disorders such as encephalitis (brain swelling) and brain demyelination
- Immune dysfunction
- Visual and hearing impairments, including optic neuritis
- Pancreatitis
