You have to wonder why the tyrants in charge attempt to pass a bill right before Christmas when not even all of the senators are their to vote on it and people are not paying attention.
It will erect new barriers to farmers entering the food production business, and this is especially true for the small local farmers who grow food for local co-ops, farmers’ markets and CSA organizations (Community Supported Agriculture).
At the same time these huge regulatory burdens are thrust upon U.S. farmers, there are no new regulations required for food grown outside the United States.
This means that food coming into the USA from Mexico, Chile, Peru or anywhere else does not have to meet S.510 food safety regulations at all.
Unreal. The only produce my family eats is that which we grow ourselves or buy locally. You can’t go to a grocery store anywhere these days and not find produce that has been imported from the four corners of the world. Apples from New Zealand, garlic from China, Peppers from Mexico … the list goes on and on.
It’s ok though, let the FDA get bigger, let the federal government grow. The sooner it bankrupts itself and collapses, the sooner we can go about our lives as free men and women.
