Food Safety Regulations: Intended quicksand for sustainable agriculture
www.opednews.com/articles/FOOD-SAFETY-REGULATIONS--by-Linn-Cohen-090108-947.html
Excellent article laying all out there. Lots of links and references.
Highly recommended.
Closing paragraph--
"The question arises - what provides real "food safety"? Is it access to local farmers we know personally who are growing food we have decided we want and our choosing to take the risk, or is it "protection" for all risk by agencies which are close to the filthy corporations actively blocking inspections and lowering contamination standards, and with their help are writing oversize regulations which, right now, are already silently dismantling all aspects of small, local farming itself?"
