Sometimes the logic is so flawed it is almost comic. But then I think more outlandish things have become law before. I wrote to our Representative just to make sure he had at least one opposing voice in his mailbox. One size fits all is a common approach these days. In most cases there is some absurd reference made to increasing food safety, Really what it usually turns out to be is large agribusiness trying to stem the tide of healthy food, grown on smaller farms close to the consumer.
