Hi Kevin, What can we do to fight back? I also buy from Westwinds, Laurel Creek, and Solar Family Farm. What if we were buying to raise our own food? I couldn't even go to the cattle sale and buy a cow to fatten or milk for my own consumption without the chip? Well, they have gone too far this time. I think we can put a stop to all this nonsense. Let's raise our voices in protest! Ring the phones off the hook in the senator's and representative's offices. I mean bombard them with phone calls. It would have to be an organized thing to make it work. I mean so many calls their staff can't handle them. Whew! I got that off my chest, but I am still standing on the soapbox.
Thanks for all your good info.

Judi,
"What if we were buying to raise our own food? I couldn't even go to the cattle sale and buy a cow to fatten or milk for my own consumption without the chip?"
Yep. That's exactly the idea.
Follow this link http://www.nonais.org/ to find out what you can do. And thanks for reading.
As a consumer who is trying to make healthier and more environmentally friendly, I am utterly appalled at the level of sheer stupidity and more than that, the incestuous nature of our government working hand in hand with giant agro-business, among other multinationals, to the detriment of us, the very people they are meant to protect.
It's disheartening, so much so, that I intend to follow that link and hope everyone else I talk to will do the same.
Tess,
It's incredibly disheartening. So much so that I can't do more than two or three columns dealing with the politics in a row. Then I have to take a break and find the sunny spots.
