  Farmer's markets -- not with NAIDs, etc.

  If our govt. has its way, they will force the Animal ID legislation (NAIS) through to national law ASAP -- along with Premise ID and other inter-related laws to control & limit our choices to industrialized foods, seeds, plants, animals.  Go to some of the stop animal ID sites (e.g., http://nonais.org/index.php/about/) and see what's already in force in Texas for example.  If you like Farmer's Markets & the idea of buying local (what Eliot Coleman would re-name "authentic") -- then read up on these further planned losses to our rights we take for granted.  Soon we will have ID chips (Wal-Mart items already have them and you probably are wearing/carrying some items with them broadcasting info about you whenever you enter certain areas).  The animal chips will not stop disease (the basic premise for them) -- only give more control of us to the govt. -- & we get to pay for this loss of liberty.  The wide diversity of foods we value at farmer's markets will be no more -- much like loose heads of lettuce

  Most seeds/plants are being controlled by a few mega companies (e.g., Monsanto) and heritage seeds (which you can save & grow again) are being bought out -- much the way the early solar & wind companies were.

  Free seeds handed out in third world countries were genetically modified to produce sterile offspring in essence so the already struggling fmrmers who saved the resulting seeds had a U.S.-funded & backed  harvest of shame. The result was starvation & a high rate of suicide for the unfortunate recipients.

  We are about to be bar coded in the name of protection -- do you care enough to read up on it?
