- Legally binds state agriculture depts to enforcing federal guidelines effectively taking away the states power to do anything other than being food police for the federal dept.
- Effectively criminalizes organic farming but doesn't actually use the word organic.
- Effects anyone growing food even if they are not selling it but consuming it (home gardens).
- Effects anyone producing meat of any kind including wild game.
Introduced by Democrat Rosa DeLauro in February her husband, Stanley Greenburg, works for Monsanto. Monsanto is the world's biggest producer of herbicides and genetically engineered seeds. They would GREATLY benefit if thousands of small organic farmers were put out of business, because organic farmers don't use Monsanto products.

Hey Debbie, just your Canadian defender here:) This is ridiculous. I can't believe that they are even going to attempt this at all. Organics are huge worldwide, and HEALTHY!! They are slowly killing us all off. How can they even imagine taking away someones food source, for those that rely on their gardens to feed them for months? What garbage that is. It won't be long before it hits north of the border either if it gets passed. Man. IT is crazy
