Missouri Trashes 30,000 Pounds of Raw-Milk Cheese
Can't have people deciding for themselves
After a two and a half year legal battle, 15 tons of cheese made and aged near Mountain View was hauled to a dump. To fans of natural foods, it is monumental waste and over-regulation. To Missouri's Milk Board, it's merely protecting public health.
"I see the destruction of what my wife and I and family have worked to build," said Joseph Dixon, owner of Morningland Dairy.
Dixon and his family aren't the only ones outraged by the trashing of about 30,000 pounds of cheese produced on the farm in Howell County.
