Two weeks ago, the Environmental Protection Agency finalized a rule that subjects dairy producers to the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure program, which was created in 1970 to prevent oil discharges in navigable waters or near shorelines. Naturally, it usually applies to oil and natural gas outfits. But the EPA has discovered that milk contains a percentage of animal fat, which is a non-petroleum oil, as the agency put it in the Federal Register.

In other words, the EPA thinks the next blowout may happen in rural Vermont or Wisconsin. Other dangerous pollution risks that somehow havent made it onto the EPA docket include leaks from maple sugar taps and the vapors at Badger State breweries.

The EPA rule requires farmsas well as places that make cheese, butter, yogurt, ice cream and the liketo prepare and implement an emergency management plan in the event of a milk catastrophe. Among dozens of requirements, farmers must train first responders in cleanup protocol and build containment facilities such as dikes or berms to mitigate offshore dairy slicks.

These plans must be in place by November, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture is even running a $3 million program to help farmers and ranchers comply with on-farm oil spill regulations. You cannot make this stuff up.

So if officials can get away with stuff like this.......what's to stop them from coming to take away anyones home or stuff? Right now it's about raw foods, but what about in the future? or where it could lead to? Does this have to do with that one 'farm bill' from another thread? :hu

OK men, here's the deal. we are facing a very dangerous enemy. we need to strike with precision. this is merely a drill but when i give the word, i want you to all run right over there and lick up that spilled milk asap. no tomfoolery. no high jinks. just get over there and get that milk cleaned up before we all DIE!

ready...set.... go!
----------------------

old fashioned - i'm pretty sure its illegal seizure of personal property.

and a crime against humanity. last nite on the news they said that 21 MILLION families are on food stamps in this country. heaven forbid they gave decent food to someone right here in this country who was hungry.

it just aint right.

One commentor said that id our health depends on these raw and real foods, then there is something really wrong with us, and we need to address those needs asap so we can obtain proper nutrition from government approved foods.

And you know they hauled that truck load of food to the dump...
Just like the thousands of pounds of properly made raw cheese here in Alaska. Police escort and all!
