Raw Food Raids – Raw, Organic, Non-processed Food Businesses Under Attack by Government Agencies

Has this armed raid uncovered a weapons stockpile? Foiled a terrorist plot? No. What government agents were after, was this, Raw Milk, a danger to society–or so the Food & Drug Administration tells us. The FDA warns raw milk can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and worse. But not everyone is so worried about these risks. This is Rawsome Foods. A private membership club in Venice California. Before entering, members sign waivers stating that they actually want food that has not been heated or pasteurized. In fact, that’s the whole point explains the club’s manager.

In the past three years there have been at least 8 government raids across the U.S. involving dairy according to the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund. In this security camera footage, we see agents entering Rawsome’s kitchen, guns drawn. The raid on Rawsome involved no less than 5 government agencies. The FDA, the Los Angeles Health Department, the Los Angeles Sherrif’s Department, the Los Angeles District Attrorney’s Office, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture. All five of these agencies declined interviews for this story, saying the investigation is ongoing. The agents proceeded to collect what they called “samples” for the case.

    Unbelievable how bad our food industry is. I was actually told a few months ago about this raw food market that got shut down.

    The irony is that we are allowed to eat at fast foods…

    Good post

    The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. The amendment specifically also requires search and arrest warrants be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. It was adopted as a response to the abuse of the writ of assistance, which is a type of general search warrant, in the American Revolution. Search and arrest should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court, usually by a law enforcement officer, who has sworn by it.

    In Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961), the Supreme Court ruled that the Fourth Amendment applies to the states by way of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Supreme Court has also ruled that certain searches and seizures violated the Fourth Amendment even when a warrant was properly granted.
