She has evil written all over that ugly face.
I understand, mate, however at least at most of the gatherings I have attended if you did not bring something to contribute to the get-together then something contributed monetarily to assist with the expenses was not without merit. For friends, an invite to one of _their_ get-togethers was acceptable in return. I do not recall reading that these people were putting the meal together in order to generate a profit, therefore such an event falls under the ‘private’ label. At least as I understand it from the few legal professionals I have discussed matters with.
It is the smug face of satisfied evil.
Well, they need to clarify place and timeframe. Drop the “dark and stormy night” narrative style and report the facts of the incident. Was this Federal thugs or state thugs? Have they contacted the USDA or their county health board or ANYONE about this incident? If so, what did they say? Have they approached any lawyers about this?
I could go on, but you get the point.
Granted, as you say: a jar or other container of some type labeled 'Donations' would have provided compelling evidence later on as well.
If you don’t have video, then it didn’t happen.
Did you get video?
This story doesn’t make sense to me.
And I bet you every one of these “whole food” useful idiots voted for the transformative community marxist.
So you think it is just a set up so people will sign their petition?
I’m thinking there is something we are not being told. I see the word “organic” used too many times.
I would like to hear the rest of the story before taking sides on this one.
If every American could only experience this lesson so vividly. I am glad this is happening. I suspect that 100 people have had a real change of heart about how good big government is.
They should have been serving school cafeteria chicken nuggets as some school board as deemed them more nutritious then a homemade turkey sandwich with cheese. Geez! The insanity.
I agree wholeheartedly. They could really build on their case by documenting the overall trend, but alas I don’t think they really get the full scope of things outside of the infringement on our food freedoms : \
I think that the poster upthread who said that a fair number of the guests probably had voted for 0 is right, but the good news is that the small farmers definitely get it and raids like this FINALLY get the attention of the useful idiots.
God willing, they will start to connect the dots.
Dear Lord, give us strength and wisdom.

So, there you go ~ the conditions required to get a permit ~ and to adhere to the law in every particular.
We don't need to go into the risks these laws seek to mitigate to understand that if you run a business that involves food or drink there are some basic sanitation laws you MUST adhere to.
Now if they were just giving the food away that would be something else.
“Frankly, this whole thing raises a lot of questions. I’m more confused than outraged.”
Me, too. But then, it hit me: Somebody forgot to pay off the inspectors ahead of time.
Like I said:
Don’t look for sympathy from “conservatives” anymore. They’re just as happy to see the government control every aspect of your life as the liberals.
All that matters is whose ideology will be enforced, now.
Not only are you supportive of unconstitutional government intrusion into our lives (thus opening the door for others)... you are supportive of them being so vague as to mean anything, just like what happened to those mentioned in the thread's article.
And you also don't see any connection.
Wow.
“Color of Law.”
I’m a smoker. They started coming after us 25 years ago now it’s the organic food folks’ turn.
That’s the way it is.
That right there turned her into someone who violates the bunny rabbit farmers' bunny rabbit marketing order.
Before that deal with the people getting the $90,000 fine over bunny rabbits I had not realized how narrow that order is and how few bunnies it takes to be covered by the act.
There is a sound health reason for maintaining close regulation of bunny rabbits ~ they recycle their own feces ~ which means those who raise the rabbits have to know what's going on with the rabbits to a degree not anticipated with most other animals. Even downstream rabbit meat gets watched more closely than other meat. Fellow who started JACKS restaurants (which all later turned into Popeyes) sold deep fat fried and broiled rabbit meat. It had a certain popularity. Alas, the costs of complying with regulations forced him out of rabbits and into dead chickens. I'm not sure it's the same interest behind today's Popeye's but that's how that started out.
BTW, I prefer squirrel. Totally unregulated except by state game departments and eagles.
