Re: Liberty, Raw Milk, Quality Food Choices, AND SO ON...

I'm hoping everyone will tolerate a tiny bit more back-and-forth on these

political candidates. I promise to keep it nipped short. I agree that this site

is NOT a political site, it's about GOOD FOOD, and always will be. I was open to

hearing knowledgable people discussing candidates in general (not mud-slinging)

with regard to their stance on food issues.

I agree that politics is very relevant to this group. I would also say that food

is bipartisan. We have had our eyes and ears and mouths closed for too long when

it comes to how our government operates. It has been socially unacceptable to

discuss politics (and religion).

Why?

We need to get over it, so that we can contribute to society in whatever way we

deem appropriate.

If I were to vote on food safety and availability alone Ron would not be my

candidate.

I don't think that getting rid of the EPA and lifting government roadblocks to

the use of coal and nuclear power will lead to safer food.

but changing the power the alphabet government tyranny and putting it in the

hands of the people (congress) and the states would be the right thing... ending

the alphabet government would be one of the first steps that needs to be taken.

if a local meat processor wants to sell meat without a federal inspector but

rather inspected by the state this should be allowed. for this to happen tort

reform would be part of the equation... too many lawyers influencing the other

branches of government to get this done...

other parts to the puzzle would include political contribution reform, cap on

spending for elections, limit the power of the alphabet government, and

recognize that we can not have the judicial branch of the government controlling

the other branches (attorneys running for other branches of government, maybe

not having a law license for 10 years prior to holding office?)

why not have a farmer as president? or a veterinary?

why only bankers/financial groups and attorneys
