The right to grow my own veggies in my own garden and share them with my neighbors is very important to me and to my neighbors who all grow their own veggies. And now is not the time to take that option away from people in the name of anything. I read the bill last night before going to sleep and I can't find anything that would suggest we are going to have this option taken away from us. I would like to know more about this and if it's real. Maybe I am typing the wrong search terms... I'm doing a veggie garden for the 2nd time this summer. Here: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-875 Rose found it. Yupe, that's the one I read, but I saw nothing that would prevent me from growing my own stuff. Again I can't imagine the organic industry or the alternative medicine people would allow this to happen. I don't see anything particularly wrong with trying to protect out food sources either, but on the big commercial farms not in out backyards. If anyone comes up with something post it, will ya.. by the way Winx I am not a very good gardener, I am just learning myself. All I got last year were huge zucchini which were great, but my cucumbers and tomatoes were pathetic. You and I are going to be discussing gardens in the near future. I had too many cucumbers and a fungus on the tomatoes. |

There was a story in our local news last fall. Hunters have donated deer meat to food shelves for years. Last year they found "trace" amounts of lead and declared it "unsafe". Utter insanity. People have been eating deer shot with lead since the gun was invented! They'd rather have the homeless starve? At a time when food shelves are hurting? I think maybe this decision was influenced by this new legislation now. A case of it already being enacted? I haven't heard about that. Lead is not good. Unfortunately, my city has a problem with lead in the paint of our old houses. I had to take care of some of that when I bought my house. I would never let my child eat meat with lead in it. |

More work.

I do like those tinyones they have in chinese dishes, don't know what they are called but they at tiny. And I do like the flavor they give to certain dishes, just don't like the texture of most of them for some odd reason. Whole family likes them, just me that doesnt', just like with fish.. ick. |
