Homesteading: The Food Emancipation Proclamation

*** begin quote ***
If you said, I want to buy a can of your homemade canned tomato soup, I can’t sell it to you. The current system only allows availability in the marketplace from the industrial choice. If you ever notice a food recall, they’ll put down the brands that are being recalled. There’s 25 brands, they’re all coming from the same tube. People walk into Walmart and they say, well, what do you mean we don’t have food choice? Look at all the brands, all the colored labels. Well, they’re all industrial. So what we want, what the society, the culture is yearning for right now. Buyers want affordable unadulterated food. You can’t get that at the supermarket. Old farmers need a way to get out. We talked about that on the tour. Young farmers need a way to get in and inner city food deserts need a solution besides the food bank.

In order for me to offer you a chicken pot pie, did you like that chicken yesterday? Yeah. Yeah. In order for me to offer you a chicken pot pie, I have to have an inspected kitchen, a hasp plan, hazardous analysis, critical control point plan, and there’s no template for making these. And if you take the template off the inspection service website, they will automatically cast it out.
I have to have a licensed bathroom, not a composting toilet, and it doesn’t matter that our kitchen is a hundred yards from two in our house, two in mom’s house. It has to be on site, a licensed leach field for that bathroom and a certified cold chain with 24 7 thermometer, computer microchip reading. That’s just to get you a chicken pot pie.

Ultimately, these food safety laws have nothing to do with food safety. All other hazardous substances, prescription drugs, fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, name your thing, you can’t buy them. You can’t give them away. You can’t possess them, and you certainly can’t feed ’em to your kids. But food, the prohibition is only on the seller. You can buy it, you can use it, you can feed it to your kids, you can feed it to your neighbors, you can give it away. You just can’t sell it. So who’s kidding? Who here is this really food safety? If it was really dangerous for me to butcher a beef in the field and take out a T-bone steak and sell it to you, if it was really dangerous, it ought to be I can’t give it away. You can’t buy it and you certainly can’t feed it to your kids. So the hypocrisy of this is so glaring that it defies imagination.

Argh!
What more can I say?
Sorry but the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats have a slew of regulations that don’t make sense.
Let the “free market” decide what we can and can’t put in out bodies.
We are NOT the Gooferment’s “livestock” to be “managed” at their whim.
