Right Obama. Because a person who takes seeds and plants them in their own home garden can’t possibly do this without government supervision to ensure what’s grown is safe.
As proposed by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, H. R. 2749 will grant the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate all farms and farm produce in an attempt to purge America’s farmland of E. coli O157:H7, a lethal, food-borne bacteria.Under the terms of the bill, crops must be grown in sterile areas, surrounded by 450 foot buffers, so that they are not exposed to other vegetation, runoff water, birds, beasts, or wildlife of any kind.
To create such sterile farms, ponds will be poisoned; wetlands drained; and streams re-routed to safeguard the crops from untreated water.
Trees will be bulldozed from agricultural corridors to protect the fields from bird droppings.
Fields will be lined with poison-filled tubes to kill rodents.
All children under five will be prohibited from stepping foot on farmland or tilled soil for fear of leaking diapers.
A crow landing in a cornfield will mandate the destruction of the entire corn crop.
I scanned the bill, H.R. 2749, and none of that was in there.
Strange coincidence. Most American farmers voted for McCain.
Does this mean that if say neighbors get together to grow crops (I know communist crap), but just for sake of argument, will GOVERNMENT(Local State, Fed)Hellicopters be watching to make sure people don’t get together and start ILLEGAL gardens. Just wondering.
“Uncle Joe” (Stalin) was in charge of the food supply too.
I wonder if we will have food czars? I can imagine Barney Frank as the Fruit Czar. Al Franken would be a good Cucumber Czar. Of course, they wouldn’t give up their current offices. But I imagine Obama can find people of equal caliber who are not elected officials.
We can expect more corruption. Republican farmers will be shut down, to the benefit of Democratic party contributors.
These people are insane (and I’m going to be saying that a LOT over the next 4 years).
If I’m thinking of the same bill, it was originally introduced under a different bill number by the thing known as Rosa DeLauro from Connecticut, IIRC.

Well Obama is planting the seeds for making CW2 a REALITY.
“America enjoys the world’s safest, highest quality, most abundant, diverse and affordable food supply.”
Nothing’s perfect. What are the real odds?
How much due to the industrial process itself? Globalization?
How much due to sabotage?
How much due to media hysteria for unknown agenda?
How much is lies?
How much do you trust anything they tell you?
