In honor of Real Milk and Lemonade Freedom Day, a group of activists are celebrating the affair in Washington D.C. with a mix of events, seminars and, of course, Real Food!
Local food is making huge inroads within communities across the United States. Some local governments are even passing food sovereignty laws to protect small farms from onerous regulations that might put them out of business.
I thought I would post this song in honor of the occasion to bring a smile to all of our faces and add a touch of humor to the very serious mission we all face in North America as we rally for the freedom to choose nutrient-dense food and unprocessed milk for ourselves and our children.
No one should be forced to support Big Dairy if he/she doesn’t want to!
We must all laugh, smile and be happy in the midst of this war we are silently fighting every single day as we choose to purchase and consume unprocessed grass-fed milk from the small farms in our community.
Humor is an essential aspect of the road to victory that will inevitably be ours as it will keep us sane and focused in the face of all the terrible persecutions that many small farmers and now even consumers are experiencing along the way.
So listen, laugh and enjoy! Â Thank you to Whey Jude for sending this delightful piece my way!

My husband I both grew up on dairy farms and raised our kids on raw milk every day, but alas we sold the cows and our grandkids had to make do with sad store milk. There’s nothing healthier than raw milk products.

If I could get some raw milk and butter, I would be a happier and healthier little scudder….

So appreciate the raw jersy milk I have in plenty at the moment. I wish there was more honesty around the product so it could be more available for everyone.

Absolutely loved the video/song! Hilarious and so relevant! Thankfully here in S. Carolina raw milk is legal. We are able to get raw grass fed milk every other week at a pick up area not far from our home. It is so unnerving that the government can interfere in something like whether or not a farmer can sell raw milk. They need to place their energies to real dangers like tobacco, alcohol, toxins/pollutants and pharmaceutical drugs for a start!

Thanks for sharing this video….very funny, although the issue is a serious one. I live in Australia, where the sale of raw milk for human consumption is also illegal…..sickening, isn’t it?
I’ve shared the video on my facebook page, for friends & friends of friends to see….the more people it gets to & the more awareness there is, the better. This issue plainly highlights how the general public’s way of life, choices and health status is being dictated by corporations…. and so are our governments, who pass these ridiculous, insulting & dangerous laws.

Really?? His name is WHEY??!!! how funny.
I prefer the term MILKSHINER. And that also is really funny. I asked my milk “supplier” once what she would do/say if someone legal confronted her on selling it. She said that she’d say the money goes towards the feed only, not the milk. Perfect!

Milk moonshiner here too and loving it!

There is a “virtual public hearing” on the legalization of raw milk sales in Indiana through September 1, 2012. The website is:

I am so fortunate to live in a community where raw milk is available. I wouldn’t drink milk if it wasn’t raw. Cute video.
