It just occurred to me that this proposed legislation would only effect crops and livestock that were explicitly raised and sold as “food”. It wouldn’t effect animals or plants raised for other purposes, such as wool, feathers, decorative eggs, weed control, insect control (which some breeds of poultry are QUITE good at), etc.
So, say, if you sold a dozen eggs that were specifically labeled as “not for human consumption”, along with instructions for hollowing out the egg and using the shell for artwork, then clearly you are not selling “food”. Its not your fault that your customer decided to scramble them instead.
Good tactical thinking!
I know someone in California who owns an herbal tea shop and that’s what she does. The FDA started hassling her, so on her labels she added “Not for consumption; not for medicinal purposes” below the directions for how to boil and make the teas used to heal your aching liver and other assorted body parts.
