The USDA is pushing dairy farmers to test for bird flu (H5N1) under a new strategy, claiming it will protect dairy herds. Secretary Tom Vilsack stated that this approach should give farmers more confidence in animal safety and help control the virus. However, critics argue that this mandate allows the government to gain more control over the milk supply and moves closer to banning raw milk.
There is a growing demand for raw milk, especially as small farms face challenges from government regulations, particularly during the Biden-Harris administration. Many believe these actions are influenced by the processed food industry, which views small farms as competition. Tensions have increased with the upcoming hearings for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , who promotes clean food solutions at the Health and Human Services Department, raising concerns among processed food companies.
Raw milk headlines have spiked in the media following bird flu cases in dairy herds, suggesting a link between these outbreaks and the processed food industry's fear of Kennedy’s potential influence. As Americans become more aware of the dangers in the food supply, they are increasingly turning to smaller farms, aggravating bureaucrats and food industry interests.
The government's fight against small farms is characterized as extreme, as it aims to monopolize the food supply. The recommendation is to reject the processed food industry by sourcing food locally, starting gardens, and even raising livestock to gain control over personal food supplies. Furthermore, there is critique over the lack of governmental promotion for clean food and exercise in addressing the health crisis, which instead leads to a focus on pharmaceutical solutions like GLP-1 medications.
