[CitizensTruth] Farm Wars: spirit vs letter of the law

[Geri Perry]

Excerpted from article by Barbara Peterson online:

The REAL Issue of so-called food safety laws:

There is a big difference between the spirit and the letter of the law. 
The key to analyzing the effects of any type of legislation that 
ultimately results in setting rules and regulations in motion through a 
set of laws is in understanding the difference between the spirit and 
letter of the law, and how this concept is applied towards enforcement 
of any particular law. . .

. . .If food safety is the real issue, why word the bills so that if the 
letter of the law is enforced, family farmers are crushed and trail 
riders become criminals at the stroke of a pen for picking berries? What 
would the real outcome be if these bills pass?

Some of the more obvious results would be massive fees and fines, an 
expensive and cumbersome tracking system for not only veggies and fruit, 
but for animals as well, and the elimination of the family farm. Instead 
of being able to go out to the backyard and pick a salad for dinner, we 
will be forced to rely on Monsanto, et. al. for every bite that we take 
or face penalties and prosecution. This is total control of the food 
supply, and as Henry Kissinger has stated: “Control oil and you control 
nations; control food and you control the people.”
