Terry, I understand your frustration, but it does not alter the fact that companies large and small should be held responsible for illnesses caused by their food. By holding companies responsible, we are deterring others from selling food contaminated with foodborne pathogens that can kill people.

As lawyers, we have to have solid evidence of “causation” to sue someone. This means that there has to be be a very persuasive connection between the problem with the food and a specific illness in a specific person. This connection cannot be made as of yet with genetically modified food. Further advances in technology and new research may change that, but we could not ethically pursue these cases now.

I am not out to get the little guy. I have gone after large fast food companies and won. What I care about is making it clear to the food industry that at every level all possible measures need to be taken to prevent foodborne pathogens from contaminating food. There are no good excuses for poor sanitation.

Why don’t these lawyers fight to make GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS ILLEGAL? This is the real danger to our health. The Zinnikers are wonderful people with excellent, healthy milk. I am sure this bacteria was planted by someone who wants to shut the Zinnikers down. Their farm is VERY CLEAN. There are some big companies who may not care about people’s health, but the Zinnikers do.

And to Fred’s comment above “When a retailer sells a product that it knows can severely sicken and kill someone, the retailer, even if it is a family dairy, needs to take responsibility for that.” Then go after all the fast food restaurants and processed food companies, because these fake foods with hydrogenated oils are sickening and killing an entire new generation of people with diabetes and cancer, and the companies know that.

Fred, please fight the vaccine producers who are DESTROYING health with poisons injected into our next generation of Americans.

The Zinnikers have sold cow shares for years and nothing ever happened. The milk was wonderful. I miss it very much.
Store bought milk tastes like chalk compared to raw organic milk.

I believe the camphobacter was planted by a government source.

You obviously have not read: The Milk Book, or The Untold Story of Milk by Ron Schmid, ND

The Zinnikers are wonderful people and their farm is pristine clean. I would go back to raw milk in a heart beat.

Our law firm has represented people sickened with Campylobacter who suffered incomprehensible pain and life-changing illness. It is possible you do not consider Campylobacter a serious illness because you have never known anyone who contracted campylobacteriosis. When a retailer sells a product that it knows can severely sicken and kill someone, the retailer, even if it is a family dairy, needs to take responsibility for that.

Why don’t you go after the government and the pharmaceutical companies killing people with all these toxic vaccines and do something worthwhile rather than going after small family farms providing people with REAL FOOD and espousing UNTRUTHS about raw dairy! Did the government shut down the farm(s) that produced ecoli in spinach, or the giant agriculture meat producers with ecoli contaminated meats from SICK animals in CAFOs and factory farms??? SPEND YOUR TIME ON worthwhile issues!
