The gov't feels like it's the only one who can supply food that's plentiful, affordable, and safe - just like health care.
Reality is with this kind of control they can charge what they like, or cut it off completely if you misbehave.
Only a RATZ* knows what's best for you. Farmers don't. They are stupid and ignorant. That's why they PLAY IN THE DIRT. Only good RATZ* have the SMARTZ to know what you should eat!
Hell, doncha know that millions and millions of people have DIED from BAD CORN ON THE COB???
We RATZ don't know this for a fact, we just pulled it out our azz because it keeps us in a "job" with a "payeeecheka."
Boy, you stupid people just don't know what is good for you. Thank God we RATZ* are here to protect you from those EVIL dirt farmers.
* = bureaKaRATZ and demoKaRATZ. After all RATZ are just RATZ.
It’s like the crackdown on Evil Raw Milk and Evil Raw Almonds.
The insanely out of control fedgov tyranny wants to utterly control every aspect of our lives from birth (the ones allowed to get born to death (time and place they choose).
Whatever is not prohibited is mandatory and all that.
This is the so-called “Food Safety Act”, which I call the Monsanto Corporate Welfare Act. I made some inroads with some Minneapolis liberals when I explained to them that this bill will place their favorite organic farmers (which, by the way, are family owned small businesses) out of business via oppressive regulation. Got some of them thinking.
