Ron Paul Tells Stephen Colbert About Zombies, Dangerous Milk And Putting Anything You Want In Your Mouth

​Last night’s Colbert Report shined the bright light of truthiness on the federal government taking action against some “raw foods” company that sells unpasteurized milk.

Apparently drinking unpasteurized milk is a sort of spiritual thing for some people, dangerous though it might be (the whole “pasteurization” thing taking out germs and all).

Brought in to testify on behalf of the nuts: Our own Ron Paul. The whole situation was “pasteurization without representation,” he said in what passes for witty in libertarian land.

Then it turned sexual, and ominous: “If we continue along this course where the government tells us everything, what we can do, what we can put in our mouths, we will end up a zombie state.”

The clip, after the jump. Paul’s section begins at about the 5:40 mark.
