Is there anything left to do that some group won't try to ban or some agency try to regulate?

Because the article reads as a shout out to be regulated, licensed and taxed into oblivion. About the only positive thing by the author was how much the local farmers markets have spread.

As long as we keep electing people who want to GIVE us stuff, they will take more in taxes and regulations to control us. Shrink government and starve it. Cut taxes to less than 20% of GDP.

The folks in the 1920's laughed at a proposal to limit federal income tax at 5%. They KNEW it could never get that high!

You will notice it is not the local farmers markets where contaminated fruits and veggies are coming from but from the big coop food processors nor large scale produce distribution. but they will say regulating the local farmers market it is to protect the people from the outbreak from bacterial disease.

recently CDC is connecting these contamination outbreaks to the farms using Probotic soil treatment or EM-1

yeah but keep growin your own don't let their craziness keep you from eating healthy. Aquaponics is far more safe than conventional farming.
