The U.S. government wants to know where your greenhouse is. Under Senate Bill 510 — which is now back in the hands of the U.S. Senate after the House hid an amendment in an appropriations bill and passed it last night — American food producers would be required to register their facilities with the U.S. government. The feds, it seems, want a database of food growers so they know who to target for surprise inspections (show me your papers!).
What the FDA is trying to do is pass a bill in which they will have control over the agriculture of many farms. The FDA has proven to raid natural/organic food farms armed with weapons to search and confiscate organic produce and legal products. The deceptive part of all of this, is that they are trying to hide this language in another bill that has nothing to do with Food Safety, but inside a bill talking about war veterans.
This is a move that will give the FDA even more power over to shut down farmers and jail raw milk producers. This is a direct attack on our food freedom, by giving one organization power over farms, including small family farms.
