Warehouse under embargo (was Re: Re: New Items at the Wareho

[Guest guest]

Damien,

The court ruling is vague and is open for interpretation, as Alvin pointed out,

and I fully agree with him that we should not take the dep of ag interpretation

of it and accept it without argument.

Furthermore a farm vehicle is easily argued to be an extension of one's farm.

And in my opinion, rightfully so since restricting purchase directly on the farm

makes access to its food prohibitive to us the consumers, and it is our right to

choose real dairy, or at least it was before the dep of health got over zealous.

I think imposition of such restrictions can be argued that it is a violation of

our consumer freedoms.

Furthermore, such an interpretation is contrary to the MN constitution clause

that protects the farmer from excess licenses restrictions. It also states that

the person who operatates and cultivates the land is allowed to sell or peddle

the products of the land without a license.

The definition of peddle - v.tr.

1.

a. To travel about selling (wares): peddling goods from door to door

I do not see how the dep of ags interpretation of the law can possibly supersede

the state constitution. Interpretation of such, by my best guess, also means

that farrmers markets too are illegal. No?

If you diagree with this, that is perfectly fine, but can I request that you be

careful in stating your opinion as fact please since there is a lot of debate

over the meaning? :-)
