Max Kane has been under considerable legal pressure to reveal the names of

suppliers and customers involved in his " Belle's

Lunchbox " raw milk buying group in Wisonsin.

Max Kane has been charged with nothing. There is no case being prosecuted

against him or anyone else for anything, not even for

selling or buying raw milk. Yet, he has been ordered by the state of Wisconsin

to inform on his friends. They want him to name

people who sell or buy raw milk. He has refused, and for that, he's been under

threat of prison.

Wisconsin's Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) is

in thrall to the Food and Drugs Administration

(FDA), is not pursuing Kane for any crime, though they have been trying to turn

him into a criminal. He's obviously guilty, of

course-guilty of drinking raw milk and advocating it. Worse, though, he's guilty

of refusing to give the names of people he knows

who also drink raw milk, not to mention the farmers who have the temerity to

sell it to them.

In Wisconsin, it's perfectly legal for farmers to sell directly to consumers in

Wisconsin. More and more have been doing just that,

and for good reason. People want raw milk. Like Max Kane, they've found that

it's health-promoting. The powers-that-be don't like

that. So, they're going after small family dairies and activists like Max. If

Max gives in, they're apparently planning to go after

ordinary people who are guilty of buying a contraband substance: milk in its

natural, unpasteurized, state.

How Max Came to Raw Milk Activism

Max was a very sick man suffering from Crohn's disease, a condition of

intestinal tract ulceration, which results in pain and lack

of adequate nutrition because an ulcerated alimentary canal cannot adequately

absorb nutrients. In his words, he was " wasting away " .

Modern medicine could do nothing for him. Like a miracle, Max found raw milk. By

the simple act of drinking it, he has returned to

health.. "
