Let’s clear up a misapprehension right off the bat, here — this bill has damn little to do with food ‘safety’ per se...

It’s 250 pages of half-baked notions so vaguely written that it, in essence, gives the FDA carte blanche to sieze control of every aspect of food growing, (including back-yard gardens), processing, transport, storage, and distribution - by regulatory fiat with no provision for due process or recourse.....

Don’t be fooled by the name - it’s a naked power grab, pure and simple....

It's 1984 in real time...

The Ministry of Truth exists to tell lies and The Ministry of Love exists to torture resistors into compliance.

Orwell saw it all.

I have not been fooled at all.

I contacted my senators a few days ago to explain why I wanted them to vote AGAINST this bill.

“Don’t be fooled by the name- it’s a naked power grab”.

Absolutely. No backyard gardens. You are in violation if you grow tomatoes, for example, and give some to your neighbor. It is a way of CONTROLLING what we eat and the ability to grow our own food. Bad, bad, bad. As a frequent consumer of front yard stands with tomatoes, cucumbers, etc... that were picked that morning from their own garden, I am outraged. Control the populations food and you control the population. Just a thought.

Along with hundreds of laws that already exist, the control freakin’ commie’s will have the right to seize our properties, cars, money under any reason if they get this House bill HR 875. MORE CONTROL! SOROS ECONOMY KILLING MORONS!
