Sometimes I wonder….

….if it’s worth the fight.  The government, which of course is vitally concerned about the food you eat, (sarcasm intended) has come up with still more regulations.  What they say, of course, is they’re only thinking of you.  But what they’re doing of course, is trying another end run that will favor Big Ag and penalize those small farmers who actually care about the quality of the food we eat.

What Uncle Sam plans to do is “inspect” producers and processors in high risk areas.  And the cost of us high risk farmers will be $13,000 a year.  Big Ag, which makes billions and is the cause of all the unsafe food that is produced every year, will pay about $30,000.  So your justifiable concern over the safety of the food you eat will be to eliminate precisely those who have nothing to do with the problem.  Here’s the link:
