A federal appeals court has ruled that California almond farmers may now challenge the USDA regulation in the courts. Why is this a victory? Because for years, a federal district court has ruled that almond growers could not even challenge the rule. The USDA's power over farmers was absolutely, the court seemed to say, and no mere peasants can challenge the King. But today that has all changed. A Cornucopia Institute press release announces the details of this court decision: From the Cornucopia Institute... See original release at http://www.cornucopia.org/2010/08/feder … tion-rule/ " I and many of my friends look forward to the day when we will once again be able to easily purchase truly raw, authentic almonds from California in my local store, " said Joan Levin, a Chicago resident and raw foods consumer. " We hope this Appeals Court ruling brings that day closer, " she said. Learn more at: http://www.cornucopia.org/almonds/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
