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?

There are some local food coop groups (gardeners swapping veggies among themselves) that are being targeted because they aren’t buying their fair share of food basically and they don’t want this idea to catch on.

God forbid the puppets in government controlled by Food Ag companies let people GROW THEIR OWN FOOD.

I hope you aren't breathing because some of the molecules you exhale will eventually cross state lines.

Yes- I believe that was during the Roosevelt administration.

Wickard v. Filburn. Right up there with Kelo IMHO.

Wickard v. Filburn “reinterpreted” the commerce clause to greatly expand federal power. It is the foundation of ALL federal gun control among many other abuses.

Yes. It was a depression era case that basically gave FDR the power to control everything in the USA by fiat. A power that has never really been revoked since. I don’t remember the name of the exact case. Sorry.
