Wasn’t there a case years ago involving a farmer growing wheat for his own purposes? Wasn’t even selling it, but the government regulated him anyway...because they felt he affected commerce?

Every Communist dictator in history has starved his people into submission.

This is how they will do it to us.

This isn’t about assuring food safety. It is about assuring food shortages.

This has little to do with food production, it has to do with controlling a population, us! If the government controls the food supplies, people an be easily shaped by the threat of hunger. If you are allowed to grow your own food independently of the government, you cannot be controlled.

I am going to ofer to plow as many gardens as possible for my neighbors this spring just to stick it in the eye of my masters!

Stopped right there.

Nothing further needs to be read.

Michael Olson, host of the Food Chain radio show and author of “Metro Farm,” told WND the government should focus on regulating food production in countries such as China and Mexico rather than burdening small and organic farmers in the U.S. with overreaching regulations.

Mizzz Delauro, must be a congressional pawn for someone wanting another federal agency to enslave US citizens. Such an agency will find itself lots of work, but will be spitting in the wind. A great deal of our food is grown and processed outside the jurisdiction of Congress.

Step1—Regulate crop production thereby causing prices to rise considerably.

Step 2—When prices soar put price controls on them.

Step 3—When farmers refuse to grow crops at a loss, confiscate their property.

Step 4—State farms now produce all and everyone lives happily ever after.

Right out of Hugo’s playbook.

This is about Monsanto insuring a revenue stream. Bank on it.

Garden PING..............

Yes, folks, I realize this is getting a bit repetitious, but the more people made aware of this the better off we will all be.

[MoreGovLess]

Where I live it is illegal to grow food in your front yard: must be flowers and lawn only. I’ve been gardening for 20 years, I grow the best food I eat

Monsanto is pure evil. Our public universities are their R&D arms, via USDA

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Just another way our leftist government is controlling the means of production. See Communist Manifesto.

[kindred]

Obamanation intends for America to be just another communist country and stupid people who voted for the fools who will destroy our freedoms and change our God given rights into government privileges are as much to blame as the communist democrats who will destroy them.
Stupid is as stupid does and Americans who vote for liberals are the most stupid of all.

[vanilla swirl]

My question is; How long are we going to sit down and allow this stuff to happen? Our freedoms are being dissolved waaaaaaaay too fast. We need to stop talking and start acting!

[Realism]

Trade among neighbors completely circumvents and undermines the globalization protocols of the U.N., World Trade Organization, NAFTA, CAFTA, etc...

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Just let some government busybody come onto my property to tell me I’m going to lose it for growing vegetables to eat.

He will be staying to help in the garden, you can bet on it.
