He may become involved in the Allgyer case, in which the FDA has sought a permanent injunction against the farmer for shipping raw milk to the food club outside Pennsylvania. Emord gave a pretty fiery speech for a lawyer.


"When a major pharmaceutical company commits fraud in a new drug application, or markets a drug that causes heart attacks and strokes in tens of thousands of people, far from stopping the company, the FDA stands in defense of it.


"But when a humble Amish farmer dares sell unpasteurized milk, the FDA gets down to business...FDA spent a year investigating Dan and entrapping him...They should be ashamed of themselves! This nation was built by yeoman farmers just like Dan Allgyer." ' - thecompletepatient.com
