The HC bill and cap and trade bill sat around collecting dust for a long time to.
The source is a conspiracy nut blog, the bill has languished in committee for a year with almost no action, and it does not do what the blog claims. Now that is impressive.
We gotta get rid of them Liberals. Some of us saw this tyranny heading our way. It'll be a great day in this country when everyone can see it.
My point is, that just because it isn't in the summary, doesn't mean it isn't in the bill. Your attempt to prove a negative was a predictable failure.
oh, yeah...LOL
As for imported food, why can't the free market decide that produce from China isn't good enough for them?
If you want an idea of what lack of food regulations looks like go read The Jungle.
The Jungle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because you find out there's a problem when it starts killing people or has other damaging affects, which would granted led to people not buying that product but you still are using citizens as a test bed if there's no agency to monitor food quality. Also you'd have a whole lot of fear in the market that all Chinese products or ALL similar products, even if they aren't from China, are dangerous. Fear is not good for business or good for economics, people need to have confidence in the system which is exactly what government is supposed to do because the average consumer has neither the time nor the education to truly understand everything that affects them in their life, let alone food.

The Jungle was, first and foremost, a novel. It was intended to be a polemic—a diatribe, if you will and not a well-researched and dispassionate documentary. Sinclair relied heavily on both his own imagination and on the hearsay of others. He did not even pretend to have actually witnessed the horrendous conditions he ascribed to Chicago packinghouses, nor to have verified them, nor to have derived them from any official records.
Sinclair hoped the book would ignite a powerful socialist movement on behalf of America’s workers. The public’s attention was directed instead to his fewer than a dozen pages of supposed descriptions of unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking plants. “I aimed at the public’s heart,” he later wrote, “and by accident I hit it in the stomach.”

Senate Bill S510 Makes it illegal to Grow, Share, Trade or Sell Homegrown Food |
"If accepted [S 510] would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice."

I think environmentalists and organic food eating sissies should endorse libertarianism as a way to save their precious homegrown foods. Instead I always hear a lot of "wouldn't it be nice if"'s from environmentalists and organic hippies that fantasize about a big tyrannical state that takes away HFC and Fried Foods and other things that are deemed more dangerous than the expansion of the State. Environmentalists have brought this on themselves. It's time for environmentalists to embrace the free market. San Fransico soda bans and New York salt bans are not done to show support for healthy organic hippie goodness. The state works against EVERYONE. Dismissing everything as some kind of corporate state-capitalist scheme to kill and enslave people with HFC does nothing to protect your organic crops and hippie life style.
The Jungle is fiction. Upton Sinclair even admitted that he made up most of the horror stories about the meat packing industry.
Don't allow yourself to get caught up in revisionist history.

This bill is wrong on so many levels.
I doubt it can withstand constitutional scrutiny. It's a property rights issue.
does nothing more that elevate the level of scrutiny at the food and drug administration
after this issue with bad eggs, it's probably a good time to re-examine what is and is not going on there
it has absolutely NOTHING to do with property rights issues
The FDA is a failure and a corrupt organization.
There's another thread here about CSAs, community share farms. I always thought they were great ideas and found quite a few in my area from the link Catz posted.Question - Why are we still debating the pros and cons of a claim about something that does not even exist?

With this administration and hidden things in bills, these places could cease to exist. At least that's my take on it.
Liberals love things like sharing food and organic farming and big intrusive government. I don't think they can have both.
please identify the provisions of the bill which would eliminate community share farms
