***S-510 FOOD BILL PASSED BY SENATE SUNDAY NIGHT!!!***

[link to www.govtrack.us]

The idea is not to allow American farms to feed Americans.

Death by legislation.

Thanks OP.

I find it hard to believe that THIS is not PINNED!

Truly important things never are...maybe if Aliens voted..

Hey, maybe you should actually read the context of the bill, rather than ranting out false accusations.

This bill does not make it illegal to farm, nor grow your own crops. Just don't attempt to sell what you grow, unless you are well versed with this bill.

It means that independent low income farmers will have to go through a lot of Bureaucratic Bullshit in order to sell apples. Else they pay strict fines and could possibly lose their land.

All that to justify the safety of Americans because a couple thousand people got a stomach virus? IT'S CRAP!

It is a means of taking away another freedom. It is in fact calling us, independent farmers and consumers, incompetent and we would be so much better off if the Government took care of us. After all, we don't know what's good for us, right?

WAKE UP!

Was the Tester Amendment stripped out of the bill that was passed late Sunday?

I just heard something to that effect and have been looking for some confirmation.

If so, the exemption for the small farms of less then $500,000 in Revenues is no longer applicable nor would the 275 mile sales radius or In-State exemption. OUCH!

For confirmation of changes to Bill

x100

Shut the government down because they are criminals along with their gangbanging veterans. Not all are that way, but since they sit there and deny it, it is time for them to go.

STFU, thanks.

We do not need one more drop, not one more tittle, not one more IOTA, of law.

WE need no more law, yet you bray in favor of those who become (like Pink Floyd's vision) giant diharretic anuses, shitting law onto the heads of the people, until they be suffocated by it.

You want them, these enobled shitters of law. THOUGH THEY CANNOT EVEN HAVE TIME TO READ THEIR OWN SHIT.

You equate their piles and piles of pages of their own words, to food? You equate evil piles of uneeded legislation, endless in nature, to a hungry child? You are a fool.

They produce more law than can be read. This, for our protection? No, only a fool would say he needs thousands of thousands of illegible legal chains, in order to remain fed. Simply put, you are that fool.

EU are behind all of these food laws

They attempt strictness of laws at Europe so they seem more appealing or in favor of high standards of quality but all to be able to limit for the poorer

another kosher starvation series of the draconian rulings

they know many have wised up knowing how to look for healthy farmers markets
they know farmers markets have become a livelihood now of smaller non GMO seed farmers


they are able to crack a whip for farmers markets since those have tax and licensing IRS areas to harass before they get to be able to come after someone's backyard

The freedom to poison your customers?

I suppose you want the freedom to rob & murder passers-by too?

Another example of free market idiocy.

THIS!

Lets work together to see if we can verify this or not

You lie, AC, complete deceptive twaddlespeak. Fuck off, and die, on behalf of Earth's hungry. Please, do.

You are saying without pages and reams and pages and reams of words and sayings understood only by lawyers, only THEN, can mankind be prevented from poisoning each other? LIES!

You are saying there is no love betwen one human and another, that the farmer will poison us if not stopped by the endless shitting of law by the administrative bodies? LIES!

You are saying that only the administrative shitting of more and more law code unto the heads of the humans, can allow us to avoid being posioned by each other? LIES!

I think you know who is poisoning the well, and it is not the farmer, it is the admin.

Laws, are not food, and many times, prevent food from reaching bellies.

Laws, are what Jesus rebelled against.

In that city, of Jesus' time, a deathly rot had already taken root. They had only that moment, to acknowledge it, and trim their law code, to survive. But no. They clung to their feeble law code and the knowers of same, and their whole city disappeared, crushed by a more evil law-bearer.

Law is a weapon used by the empowered. I follow The Master, who threw over the tables of those who made money off of religion, or law.

The Master (enemy of the lawyers) saw that law was being used as a vampire's tooth, to slowly suck those people of Jerusalem dry: That is why their city was destroyed, not via Jesus, but via their own stupid lawyers who could not see the horrific doom of Rome, waiting at the door, to destroy that temple. So Jesus just showed up and tried to offer them a better way. His followers today, might try to do the same, but it is the lawyers, the Pharisees, today or then, who will bear the blame.

Typical Shill.

Let me make this clear to you, OK? The Human Body has something called an Immuno-defense System. This system fights off bacteria and viruses EVERY DAY. You with me shill? Now, if the body can NOT overcome the infection, then it is the responsibility of the person to go see a doctor. If it is indeed a stomach infection, then the person who is sick did NOT do the necessary steps to kill all the bacteria, however the Doctor will prescribe the necessary antibiotics to remedy the infection. All foods (fresh foods) have some bacteria on them. It is up to us to take the proper steps to ensure fresh food is fully cooked. Do you eat raw eggs, unclean spinach or raw pork?

The Government has NO BUSINESS telling me what is safe to eat and what is not. I can do something called...oh let me see...THINK? I can also do something called....COOK. I am not some drone that believes the Government knows best.

Your argument is stupid. For the sake of argument, let's say that 1,500 people were sick from Salmonella. THAT does NOT justify S510 being MADE let alone PASSED. 365,000,000 People live in the United States. Do the Math. That's less than 1/10,000 of a Percent of the Populace that got sick. More die in car wrecks than from stomach aches. THINK FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Should we pass a bill on Car Safety because of car wrecks?

The Lack of Logic is Astounding....

OP, the ball is now in our court.

Although I really hate all the absurd crap they are doing, I'm hoping it will be the last straw for everyone. Everyday those who just graze along content wake up because something comes down the pipe and directly affects them. This legislation is going to hit a TON of people. A chain from the farms all the way up to the restaurants and consumers. Mess with food and you mess with everyone regardless of race, creed, or political affiliation. They are playing Braveheart on Starz iirc. It has been on a lot in the past few weeks. If you see it on, please watch it again. There will be greater relevance than when it first came out.

Tell us please, does this mean bye-bye to local farmers markets selling straight off the farm?

"One of the main sections of S.510 addresses "food smuggling." Yep -- people smuggling food across the country. If you've never heard of this problem that's because it's not actually a problem.

Not yet anyway.

But there's a reason why they put this into the bill: Because they're probably planning on criminalizing fresh produce and then arresting people for transporting broccoli with the "intent to distribute."

Yep, farmers bringing fresh produce to sell at the weekend farmer's market could soon be arrested and imprisoned as if they were drug smugglers. Hence the need for the "food smuggling" provisions of S.510.

Soon, we will all have to meet in secret locations just to trade carrots for cash."

Looking and have found no information on whether the Tester amendment remained in the bill.

Regardless, the exemptions to be allowed under that amendment are not great enough to allow local flexibility in food production.
