It seems more to me like a front door to prevent home grown ANYTHING.

Yeah, but considering that the government gets more tax revenue from tobacco than it does cucumbers...

You could be right Gabz. Home grown food produces no tax income. However, the larger issue here is that people are going to grown as much of their own food as possible because it is more environmentally friendly. No need for costly, harmful chemicals, no need for laborers to pick it, no need for truckers to haul it, etc. Therefore there is less revenue.

I sure hope the grassroots efforts to be more self-sufficient can stop this horrible bill from passing. Nobody wants to be criminalized for growing a head of lettuce and a few radishes. If this bill gets passed that just might happen.
