When told "points of law" prohibited another brave town, Montville, Maine, from banning GMO crops, they responded that "a different point of law" permits them to do so.

When they want "food sovereignty" do they want more freedom for the producer and consumer? Or does the local city council want to implement their own regulations?

There's a big difference.

I’m certainly not the world’s leading expert on this issue, especially this little corner of it, but my impression - to answer your questions - is “yes” to the former, “no’ to the latter.

There is essentially a tyrannical control of the food supply being set up through the collusion of Monsanto and our (and other) government. Of course it is being shoved down on us “for our own good,” but some stubborn idiots are crazy enough to insist on growing and selling their own produce locally, and the Feds ain’t happy about it. They mean to govern.
