Thanks for the post. I’m going to have to read that bill to get informed on what the “food police” means because I’m all for food safety. We don’t have enough IMO. There’s too much astroturfing going on by the politicians and their donors and interests. It is hard to find out the truth.
I’m for safe food first and to me that means oversight of these illegal immigrant hiring factory food processors that keep themselves and their factories draped in total secrecy and call themselves farms.
“Food Inc” is a decent movie if you want some insight. We need country of origin labeling on all food and the food and grocery industry fights that because they know that the free market will sort out their Chinese trash. We need tracking of food origins too so that we can find dangerous contaminated food sources. I’m also against restricting farms from reusing their own seed as Monsanto does. Genetic licensing has gotten out of hand. Much of the research was done by universities on our dime.
I don’t want government telling me what to eat or buy, but I have no problem with them inspecting and demanding that food processors meet safety standards and more.
Beware of a government that promises you safety and security in return for your liberty.
You will get neither.
