Coming government takeover of food

"Small farmers and food processors (jams and jelly folks, for example) would be out of business if these bills are passed into law. Ditto farmers' markets, and, potentially any individual who sells or even shares the bounty of a home garden.

"If these bills pass into law, Big Ag Biz would increase its stranglehold on the food business, and big government would expand its swarm of officers bedeviling every private pursuit of happiness.

"The M.O. for this government takeover of 'food' for the benefit of bigger government and big business is certainly familiar – it is playing out in energy and health care, too."
