This is not a Maine only topic.

Though from what I have read on other forums about this federal bill, it is backed by Monsanto, as a first step to get all food in the US of A to have been manufactured by a Federally licensed manufacturer.

I don't generally think of food production as being a manufacturing process, but with today's chemical laden and GMO food products, it really is manufactured.

It certainly is in direct opposition to the 'Eat Local' trend.

As the previous learned member stated, this is not a Maine topic, per se, and belongs over in the Politics forum.
