No More Farmers Markets?

Post by David Lay »

It's a possibility, if HR 875 (Food Safety Modernization Act) passes.

HR 875 must be destroyed.

Jim and I actually had a convo about this a while back in here. I cant seem to find the thread. But the person who is supporting this bill in the House is married to someone very high up at Monsanto, which I find very suspect.

I could not figure out why Monsanto would give a hoot about this enough to actually attempt to push legislation through the back door. Then I found this:

Lots of other info on this link as well.

We have issues with searching for words in the new Deck. So far, we haven't been able to get the database to open up and let us move over 3 million search words. You can search by author, but not not by words.

This is vexing.

If you are tearing your hair out searching for something, send me a Private Message.
