The Stowers family ran a whole foods/natural foods co-op from their farmstead.  Because of this, their home was INVADED by police officers, their family was held for 5-6 hours, and their personal food stores were confiscated.  Now, it is NOT illegal to participate in a food buying co-op in Ohio, so why did this happen??????  And the Stower's son in law is right now fighting in Iraq for the freedoms of the Iraqi people while his family is losing their freedoms right in the USA! (Which also means this search and seizure was largely done against mostly women and children!) 

 I am horrified by this.  How many times do I have to say, I can't believe this happened in America?????  Why does the government (Ohio Agriculture Dept. is part of the government) think they need to tell us what to eat?  Don't they have enough to concern themselves with already!?  Here is the link to more information and a video.  http://www.buckeyeinstitute.org/blog/2008/12/17/buckeye-institute-files-lawsuit-on-behalf-of-stowers/  Please follow this case- especially if you live in Ohio.  And value organic, whole foods.  And just don't want the government  telling us how to live, what to eat, how our children should learn, etc.  Living in the midwest, I am following this case closely.
