The USDA, the Dept. of Ag are just as captured and in cahoots with their counter-parts at FDA.

Without a doubt! I would love to know what in the Constitution makes the federal government believe any of that is within their purview anyway.

We’ve allowed it to continue because the public either doesn’t know, or many just don’t care or too many just trust federal agencies/government to do what’s right for them, to make them safe. Let's hope more are realizing these agencies could care less about our health and more about keeping their cronies in power and racking in the $$!

Don’t we know it! Just check out what they’re doing to small farmers, the Amish, and soon to a backyard garden near you!

I volunteer on a small, organic certified farm. You wouldn't believe the amount of BS regs they have to go through to run the operation. From local town ordinances and building inspectors, to state level regulations, to the 'organic cert' itself. Think the big AG businesses face the same hurdles?

Of course not! Been following the case of Amish organic farmer Amos Miller in PA. It’s insane what the state of PA is putting this farmer through, especially when you consider the # of complaints & recalls & tainted products from commercial growers/dairy operations. The lawfare is mind boggling!

They are trying to make 'an example' of the man...as a warning and threat to similar farmers.

Going up to my original thought, the USDA, FDA, CDC and many other Federal level agencies need to just be abolished. No reform, just nixed. Sure, some of the regs/rules might, maybe make sense. So, let the States decide if they want to adopt them. And let the States get the voter feedback if the Legislature starts waffling around or Governors turn to unpopular 'Executive' mandates. Hey...we can dream right?
