“…On Friday evening, they became perhaps the first locale in the country to pass a “Food Sovereignty” law. It’s the proposed ordinance I first described last fall, when I introduced the “Five Musketeers”, a group of farmers and consumers intent on pushing back against overly aggressive agriculture regulators. The regulators were interfering with farmers who, for example, took chickens to a neighbor for slaughtering, or who sold raw milk directly to consumers.

What about potential legal liability and state or federal inspections? It’s all up to the seller and buyer to negotiate. “Patrons purchasing food for home consumption may enter into private agreements with those producers or processors of local foods to waive any liability for the consumption of that food. Producers or processors of local foods shall be exempt from licensure and inspection requirements for that food as long as those agreements are in effect.”

Sedgwick Maine declares local food Sovereignty

I wonder who will scream louder here about such free market fanatics, the "gov't has to protect us from cradle to grave" types or the "capitalist" banner carriers who depend upon such market/regulatory socialism in the first place to prop up their business model that would crash in a true competitive free market. Makes you wonder who works for who don't it?
:surprised::happy-very:

Even better still is the fact it's folks from Maine doing this, or as the Redstate meat eaters love to say, "Those liberal, commie, socialists in Maine." Opps, looks like the redstaters don't know a free market action when they see one but that's OK, they always got Dick Morris to tell them how to rid the world of the Obama "SOCIALIST" Agenda!

Should we expect an opin from the WSJ on the dangers of such laissez faire reactions while extolling the virtues of the Monsanto and Archer Daniels Midland's of the world?

Sounds like you are sure assuming a lot. If it happens you can say, " I TOLD YA SO"
