Is anyone in our working group used to reading legal speak? I am trying to wade through these food bills and I am having a heck of a time.
Dr. Shiv Chopra (bio) an Indian-Canadian health whistleblower who has written much like Michael Pollan about how businesses' corruption of government endangers our food supply, has said the bill "would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God."
This is the working text of the Senate bill

I'm not sure what all this complex bill is up too, but I suspect it's part of what our local Land Stewardship Project (a righteous local advocacy group for sustainable farming / practices) is now working against: deep regulation of the small, local meat processors.
