Opinion: Farmers need fewer laws, not more, says Stockholm resident

Posted

There is talk of banning glyphosate (RoundUp). I'm for banning it. However, it falls so short of what really should happen. We need less laws, not more.

We have laws that suppress the farmers and gardeners from selling their products to their neighbors and from selling their products at the local market.

These laws are in the name of food safety, however they are really protecting the 'big fish' that use and promote detrimental things like RoundUp.

The family farms from 100 years ago are mostly gone. We need to get them back!

Are those uninspected eggs, milk, cheese, and meat really that bad for you? Most, if not all, the people alive today have grandparents that ate and thrived on uninspected food.

Let's simplify and quit sticking people in jail over zillions of laws.
