Can you say grow yer own? This bodes ill for everyone, and comes at an interesting time, eh? Honest folk on the bottom are being squeezed and penalized for the sins of the turds floating on top. Try and convince me this is for public health. p'tooie



Like Pappy always said, "Things ain't never so bad they cain't get a whole lot worse."

Congress has always consulted "professionals" in the field of expertise when they put together legislation to protect us from ourselves. Of course, the "professionals" consulted usually benefit in that legislation (another form of pork). The current Congress will do just that, opposed to a small government approach that preceded it. Just makes you feel warm and cozy all over, doesn't it?

The market I was selling at 3 years ago had the goverment step in and stop the selling of homemade canned goods. Didn't make me feel warm and fuzzy then.

The hell?

What people need to do is start selling stock in their produce. Then the "stockholders" can just come and pick up their own food every week!

clicked that link and read part of the article before I noticed an ad for McDonalds smack dab in the middle of the page.

Oh, the irony.

WTF?? What small government approach that preceded it? Get a life.

I'll see that and raise you one hand clapping. Get real.

Three years ago? Then they must have been "The Worst President Ever"'s zombies.
