Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

It sounds like these raids might be the result of lobbying by the big food chain stores. They run on a very slender profit margin. If people find that food co ops can be better and cheaper, the chains might go belly up.
Unless it is the state itself worried about incurring health care costs if the foods caused illness, but if that were the case, wouldn't they say so?

Seems to me that it would be easier to hold accountable a local producer on a small scale if problems arises. It seems at least to me that it would be harder to hold accountable big ag. Small farmers don't want to get their limited customer base sick.

I think logic and clear thinking are not the strong suit of whoever is behind the raids.
It has been my personal experience that whenever I don't understand why someone is doing something, the cause is usually money. Probably, that is the case here then.

There's a tremendous amount of disinformation being put out on the internet about the Rawesome Foods raid, even by people who should know better. The most common complaint against Rawesome Foods is: Why don't they get licensed?
The answer is because they are not a public store. Rawesome Foods is a private member club where members actually own a percentage of the cows, goats and farms that produce the raw dairy. The Rawesome Foods facility is merely a distribution point where people pick up the food they already own; food which they could have theoretically picked up at the farm, but it's more convenient to bring it to a central distribution point.
This Rawesome Foods distribution point is a private location, not a public grocery store. The buyer's club itself, from a legal point of view, is private behavior, not public behavior. And yet the state of California is aggressively trying to force Rawesome Foods to be licensed and regulated as a public grocery store, which it is not.
The key element here is that the state wants to collect sales tax on these foods when people pick them up from the Rawesome distribution point. That's why the California Franchise Tax Board was secretly funding the prosecution of Rawesome Foods (http://www.naturalnews.com/033254_R...).
As usual, this is all about the state wanting its share of the pie (or the cheese, in this case). The state is horrified by the idea that people might enter into their own private ownership agreements of "farm shares" and then pick up their food without paying a state sales tax. And yet, in reality, no point-of-purchase "sale" is taking place at all. People are merely picking up the food they already own because they are partial owners of the farms, the cows, the goats and the chickens which naturally produce this food.
