A whole new definition for "putting your money where your mouth is"

So I've been enlightened over the past year to this really obscure federal law that has been circulating around the...well...the arena of politics, I suppose. You'll have to pardon my absence of intelligible diction when it comes to these kind of things. I'll let you in on a secret: the classes that taught me that subject material went in one ear and out the other, for a simple letter grade. I'm a whore to the system.

ALAS! This bill, labeled S. 510, pertains to the freedom of farmers and "other people" to grow/distribute their own food to the public. Essentially, what I'm picking up from all of the summaries and jargon I've shuffled through, it would be nearly illegal (or possibly just that) for anybody to grow their own food unless they're approved and monitored by the FDA. That's the Food and Drug Administration, for anybody new to that term. Personally, when I see "FDA," it rings like any other lawful acronyms. FBI, CIA, other governmental administrations that I don't care about...it just sounds like another law-abiding authoritative figure. And THAT'S where the scary shit comes in play, though.

I like to hear about conspiracies. I'm not trying to make a tirade about how everything is out to get us US citizens, but at the same time, the belief that our government wants the best for each and every citizen sounds a bit phony to me. There are too many of us here for me to actually believe the law cares about our health and well being, and this here S. 510 bill would be the just epitome of that there conviction. The fact that this bill is hardly as easy to research on the internet than the more well-known bills of the United States' history's past could signify one of two things: either this bill is surrounded by an air of negativity from the various conspirators roaming on the internet (as most articles you will find read this bill in a negative manner) and was blown way out of proportion, or the government wants to cover something up, big time. Well, I'm sure there are far more reasons than just that as to why you can't find much about it, but I like to believe it gives my argument some weight.

Nonetheless, I like to play my cards safely in life. I like to assume the worst, and whenever I crack open a hearty can of Campbell's soup or peel back a fresh box of Cheez-Its, I'm pretty sure all of those ingredients added are not there for my own personal well-being, unless you're taking note of my palette. My mouth may like it, but my health probably doesn't. So what happens if all food administrators are controlled by the same company responsible for these ingredients? Just take a look at this site and maybe do a bit of reading for yourself.
