I will likewise never fully understand the nation's economists remaining mostly silent during election seasons and allowing politicians and morons to take it upon themselves to put words into their mouths

that is already federally legally true. We got law this year or last and FDA regulations that forbid growing pretty much anything edible in your yard or house or anywhere else that is not a farm. The ubiquitous farmers' markets are no longer legal either. Enforcement is not happening all at once but it will come. It is already creeping into some areas. We are deliberately working up to a system of State Farms being the only government authorized and permitted entities allowed to produce food. In the USSR they were called State Farms. We are skipping the collective farm stage.
