Back in the day almost all of the clothes that were worn were made at home as well as the cloth used to make them. It was called home industry, or homemaking. Home canning is food processing and should be done carefully or you can kill yourself with bad food. Let’s see do we need to have batch records and follow GMP guidelines? I don’t think so but if you don’t then you could be in big trouble if someone decides that they don’t like you.

Food is way to cheap here to have a famine, But... You need to look at the state of Deseret State of Deseret - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It was largely socialist and it worked great. You wanted to eat they put you to work. That is what we need now. Jobs for everyone. Cut out the free checks we need jobs to do and to get paid for doing it but that is beyond the scope of this thread. Home food production and regulation That is the growth industry for government. They can hire lots of people to go and make sure that your home canary is registered and that your records are up to date. Just think of all the new government jobs!!! Get hired now it is the growth industry of the future.

Got melamine?

Nope, if the FDA were really concerned about food safety we would not be importing any food product from China. Most glutens in our foods, human and anmial, are just that.

The FDA aren't the ones who import the food from china. Business's are the ones that do that. BTW, this bill requires all imported food to meet U.S safety requirements.

Preparing food at home is very dangerous nowadays, particulary due to all the different types of ingredients mixed together. Back in the 19th century, a cow was a cow. Now it gets fed with all different types of stuff to enhance the quality. Failure to take precautions with this can result in many problems for dairy and meat.

Food is very inexpensive here compared to elsewhere in the world. The reason many small farms are failing is because the price of food is so low. I guess that's both a good thing and a bad thing. That's why the govenrment has to pay farmers not to grow food.

Wheat and oat prices are very very low.

Beef prices are low, but milk prices are high. Not sure why though.
