just read about a new u.s. senate bill that will make growing your own food illegal!! puts farmers and such under the eyes of armed feds! grow ur own corn and go to prison!
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-510 i don't think food grown for personal consumption will fall under the jurisdiction of this bill. however it could cause problems for many small, organic, free range farms.
it depends if 'growing' can be interpreted as manufacturing. either way this bill will tilt the scales further in big agriculture's favor.
It's obviously a bill passed for the corporate interest, I bet Monsanto spent some big $$$ in this to buy off some senators.
