So much for your food garden....

Check this out. Now I think lawmakers have really gone off the deep end. At a time where money is tight and many folks around my parts are starting to grow their own food to save money, lawmakers step in to prevent it.

The Fed now wants to control what kind of garden you can grow in your yard. This will end growing your own food and then selling or even sharing it with somebody else. This kind of control has to stop before we lose all of our freedoms.

A brief read of the opening sections seems to point it more towards commercial agriculture, of which your backyard garden is not. A more thurough read is needed, as it probably has a clause banning the use of firearms to protect your backyard garden from pests! Dem gubnit people are a sneaky bunch!

Would you mind quoting those parts specifically?
It's about regulating the foodstuffs that have been turning up with e-coli, best I can get from it.
