It’s great that NAIS has been defunded, but as long as there is corporate interest in farming, I think it’s spirit will stay alive. We simply have to keep fighting it!

Unfortunately much of what government does creates unintended consequences that are worse than the problem they were trying to correct in the first place.

The government way is always the wrong way. I’m horrified at the thought that my health is under the control of some small-minded government bureaucrat.</p> <p><i>This comment was originally posted on <a href="http://naturalbias.com/your-right-to-choose-healthy-food-is-at-stake-again/#comment-1590" title="“Your Right to Choose Healthy Food is at Stake … Again”" rel="nofollow">Natural Bias | Health, Fitness & Fun by Vin Miller</a></i></p> Vin, thanks so much for your continued campaign.

“The politicians are at it again and have drafted another piece of so called food safety legislation that threatens the future of organically and sustainably produced food.”

The BEST way to improve food safety is for people like you to continue to spread the word and for the rest of us to support it by buying from the small organic suppliers who care about the animals and the environment. The government way is always the wrong way. I’m horrified at the thought that my health is under the control of some small-minded government bureaucrat.
