I have seen reassuring analysis of this bill on various organic and progressive food blogs.

The large organic produce/dairy co-op where I live is Progressive with a capital P. So are the medium-sized ($1.5M-$3M annually) organic producers. Our Farmers Market was THE source for all things “O” in the last election cycle.

The only producers I can foresee being impacted by this MAY be the maple syrup folks, the fermentated foods (kraut/kimchee/miso/tempeh) folks and possibly the vinters (both grape and local fruit wines). Every single one of these businesses supports the regime and has lobbyists.

I really doubt passage is politically possible.

Today I traded home-grown tomatoes for home-grown green beans. My trading partner is a staunch conservative. So, had this bill been law, who is to know?

Many liberals are waking up to the fact that they've been fooled by Obama and this administration. Obama is not a friend of Americans IMO. He is an agent of powerful forces with their own agenda.

In the end, it will be bad for "we little people". I suggest that taking the paranoid view is far safer with this regime as Rush calls them... :)
