Small farmers are not the problem, the laws are already slanted in the mega farms favor. In a time of high unemployment they should be encouraging more people to take up farming. Killing small farms increases unemployment, everybody wasn’t meant to work in an office. Small farms are vital to the economy, and vital to those who want real food and not over processed fakes.
It’s so obvious that the whole purpose of these new laws is to break the small farmer and regulate and control the last freedom we really have left, choosing what we eat.

SIGNING A PETITION IS NOT ENOUGH, WE HAVE TO BE WILLING TO PROVE WE ARE SERIOUS AND WON’T BE FORCED DOWN.
WHEN DID THE FDA BECOME GOD?
WHEN DID THE GET THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH OVER US?
Yes, life and death, because if you can’t get or eat the foods that are nourishing to our bodies, then we will surely die, of cancer, heart disease, liver failure, diabetes, lupus, asthma, and every other disease.
Limiting us to a few acceptable foods is a slow death sentence of chronic undernourishment and low vitamin and mineral levels needed for healthy life.

We need to face the fact that the government is for us, not to rule us. It’s supposed to be the will of the people not a few federal workers to run, whatever their titles may be.
We need to get out the picket signs and good walking shoes and start protesting at all the federal buildings.
We need civil disobedience, they can’t put all of us in jail or take all of us to court. They are already short handed, lets make them hurt by overworking them. Make them earn those paychecks, let them worry about catching all of us protesters and law breakers who dare to stand up to tyranny.

It doesn’t matter if you are a consumer or a farmer, this is the last straw, the last insult to our freedoms and right to decide what we eat, what we grow and who we get it from.
Thru all history, farming has been the backbone of any society, good food meant a good life.
We already have the milk police making raids, enough is enough!
I’m mad as hell and not going to take it anymore! If the free market listens to us and gives us products we want to buy, the government must surely follow, unless they have darker motives and hidden agendas.
We have the power, we just have to use it!
They are already trying to stop family farms, next will be your backyard garden, I mean what determines what a small farm is? Imagine an agent knocking on your door telling you that your garden is in violation and must be destroyed or pay the fine!
Are we willing to fight for the basic right to eat what we want and take our chances, or give in and be dictated to and restricted to only what the feds will allow?

I HAVE A GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO CHOOSE THE FOOD I PUT IN MY BODY!
NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DICTATE WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT EAT OR DRINK!
IF I CHOOSE TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DRINKING RAW MILK, WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE RISK AND HAZARDS, WHAT LAW CAN THERE BE TO PREVENT IT?
THIS IS NOT A DICTATORSHIP, NOR A PRISON CAMP, IF WE CAN’T CHOOSE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS WHAT WE EAT, THEN WE DON’T ;HAVE ANY OTHER RIGHTS, WE ARE PRISONERS IN OUR OWN NATION!
