Critics say a bill pending in the U.S. Senate would do for Americans' food supply what "Obamacare" is doing to the nation's supply of health-care resources.
And it's generating a surge of alarm among small-farm operators and natural food advocates.
"S. 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010, may be the most dangerous bill in the history of the U.S.," writes Steve Green on the Food Freedom blog. "It is to our food what the bailout was to our economy, only we can live without money."
The plan is sponsored by U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich. ...
...Shiv Chopra, a Canada Health whistleblower, who concluded S. 510 "would preclude the public's right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes."

You must live in a lib city in a lib state.
Everyone needs to let everyone else know when that starts,
because at that point, “it’ on”.
letmetellya’ the feds can’t get their hands on farm land fast enough & they’ll outlaw farms eventually.
Oh my ... I didn’t realize how much I miss In ‘n Out burgers.
Mr. O and his cronies seem to have forgotten where We the People’s inalienable rights COME FROM. Shall we help him remember?
Yes I live in one of the suburbs of Buffalo, NY
Sometimes I feel like the only conservative in town.
Then it was a Happy Birfday indeed!!!
We’ve got an In-N-Out in our little Central AZ hamlet... now I”m HUNGRY!!!
I’ve been waiting for the right moment to share some information from a book I just finished reading, SURVIVING THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE (Fernando Ferfal Aguirre) which was written by a man who lived through the economic collapse of Argentina which happened in 2001 and is ongoing.
I think it is quite an encouraging thing to read given all that is going on especially given this latest control move on vitamins and food:
“Some people believe that armed citizens don’t stand a chance against an army, especially one as powerful as USA. This is the BS lie all governments around the world want you to believe, but the reality is very different.
If every block in the country, USA for example, has a dozen men with fire arms, the one that doesn’t stand a chance is the military force. It’s the perfect guerilla setup, and a general’s worst nightmare.
You can’t nuke or level every block. You can’t arrest the entire country. The “fighters” are already armed, fed, spread out, integrated and infiltrated into the military and government branches. It’s impossible to win.
That’s why dictators work desparately to disarm the citizenship.
The objective is an unarmed society unable to defend itself. It also reduces the morale regarding the power to actually fight a tyrannical government.
Unarmed people may not even question tyrants because they believe that since they are unarmed they have no power at all.
In Argentina, they passed a law “National Gun Emergency” that clearly states its objective as eliminating fire arms from the average population, leaving gun ownership only to the military, police and influential people that can afford to hire armed personnel.”
We are not at the Argentina stage yet, but.....
we are here Jack, few and far between but there are some of us.

Jack, buddy, you need to move.
I hope everyone understands that it’s “go time” if/when they try to pass something similar to this “National Gun Emergency” here.
If this comes to pass, and anyone stays here, they are fools.
John “CONTROL THE PEOPLE” Dingle.
“Soylent Green”, “Logan’s Run”, “Brave New World”, “1984” and “Animal farm” are NOT works of fiction to LIBs. They are the books of their “bible”.
Hmmm, Zero-Care? You might want to avoid reading John Boyd’s “The Organ Bank Farm”...
Nanny state attempt to control what we grow and eat ping.
Nope, this will go after "big farms" "for our own good". Once the Darwinian process is over, and the (well politically connected/legally represented) survivors have been squeezed as hard as they can....
Then, they'll go after the guy who has a few rows of blueberries that he sells at the local grocery store / farmer's market. And the guy who has a stand by the road to unload the extra watermelons and tomatoes that he has to make a few bucks. It'll be "for our own good. What if they sold you something was wasn't carefully inspected/vetted/gov't scrutinized"?
Once they run off all of the people with a little extra motivation, they'll tax your property at a ridiculous rate so that you can't afford to have a couple of acres with a nice garden. You can move to the city, with everyone else. OR, they might decide that your land is the ideal habitat for some endangered mouse, or bug, or flower, and just take it from you.
But, they'll *NEVER* tell you that you can't raise a garden. That'd be un-American.
I'm feeling cynical today. Could you tell?
The only thing I miss about Southern California.
Maybe when they are hungry and standing in line for that loaf of bread they willl change their tune.
You probably are. You have my sympathy.
