People not only in VT should heed this but NH and upper NY state too. With all of the food problems lately, now this?

I guess no-one will be happy till we are all unemployed, riding bicycles, planting what vegetables we can in our small backyards with no water and asking our government for power to run our rice cookers.

SOUND FAMILIER?

I have read that the inspection regulations require a designated room to be set aside for the inspector to be used for no other purpose, and there are other onerous requirements.

If you eased some of the nonessential requirements but still required inspection, that would make sense.

Now if you have someone selling ten chickens a week locally, how often does it make sense to inspect the facilities? The FDA regulations are geared to large agribusinesses and not the small farmer.

So, if I set up 10 companies and sell 999 chickens from each..........

You're all over...

A VT Co-Op (forgot the product, milk? Dang Ocean Spray commercial got inserted into recent co-op memory references) just lost their accreditation last month to test their own stuff. Now, they have to send it out of state for testing.

Legislators are only thinking getting their pockets lined at the expense of the common good.
