Guest guest Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I hate to break it to you-all, but this news is already about three weeks old. This was in NaturalNews on March 11, 2011. See below: A local town in Maine has declared its food sovereignty, shutting out the tyrannical FDA which seeks to control food production in America: LINK:http://www.naturalnews.com/031667_food_freedom_Maine.html Maine town becomes first to declare food sovereignty by Ethan A. Huff, staff writer NaturalNews.com printable article Originally published March 11, 2011 (NaturalNews) The town of Sedgwick, Maine, currently leads the pack as far as food sovereignty is concerned. Local residents recently voted unanimously at a town hall meeting to pass an ordinance that reinforces its citizens' God-given rights to " produce, process, sell, purchase, and consume local foods of their choosing, " which includes even state- and federally-restricted foods like raw milk. The declaration is one of the first of its kind to be passed in the US, and it is definitely not the last. Several other Maine towns -- including Penobscott, ville, and Blue Hill -- all have similar ordinances up for vote in the coming weeks. " Tears of joy welled in my eyes as my town voted to adopt this ordinance, " said Mia Strong, a Sedgwick resident who frequents local farms. " I am so proud of my community. They made a stand for local food and our fundamental rights as citizens to choose that food. " In addition to simply declaring food sovereignty, the ordinance also declares it a crime for state and federal authorities to violate ordinance provisions in any way. The law specifically states that " t shall be unlawful for any law or regulation adopted by the state or federal government to interfere with the rights recognized by this Ordinance. " This includes, of course, any attempt to enforce the unconstitutional provisions of the S 510 the HR 2751 food tyranny bills that were recently passed (http://www.naturalnews.com/030789_F...). And what about potential conflicts that may arise between farmer and patron? The two will agree to enter into private agreements with one another, apart from government interference, and settle any disputes that arise personally and civilly. It is the way things used to be done before Americans sacrificed their freedoms to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other federal agencies that now tell the public what they can and cannot eat. In December, the state of Vermont drafted its own food sovereignty bill (http://www.naturalnews.com/030827_f...), and several others are considering similar bills as well.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I agree with you, up to a point; and certainly I don’t read everything that is written every single day!!!!! My point is that whether or not the information one has is up-to-date can and very often will make a difference because someone may have more up-to-date information which might contradict the information you have.
