(NaturalNews) Today at the raw milk / food freedom rally taking place in Wisconsin at the legal hearing for raw milk farmer Vernon Hershberger, organizers unveiled a Declaration of Food Independence. The document asserts the individual right to grow, trade and access real food without government intervention or control.

It is an historical document signifying a momentous milestone in the fight for food freedom -- the fight against government tyranny and the destruction of food. Just as America's original Declaration of Independence asserted freedom from the tyranny and control of the British government, this Declaration of Food Independence asserts freedom from U.S. government tyranny and control over the food supply.

Upon being unveiled, the document was immediately and enthusiastically signed by dozens of people, with many more signature expected to come throughout the day.

I personally salute this effort and will be adding my signature to this historical document at the first opportunity.

Full text of the declaration follows:

Declaration of Food Independence - introduced into Common Law on Friday, March 2, 2012, and signed by the People

In a spirit of humility and with respect for both the just law of the land and Natural Law, we declare that, inherent in every individual is the God-given right to procure the food of one's choice from consenting farmers and producers.

The undersigned respectfully declare that we will peacefully reject laws and regulations that infringe on this God-given right.

We are willing to suffer the consequences rather than comply with laws and regulations that deny people the sovereignty to choose their own foods or deny producers the authority to engage directly with consumers.

For the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of God, we mutually pledge to each other our commitment to protect and secure this right ourselves, all individuals, and our mutual posterity.
