You guys got me searching for info on your food safety/health reform act and hr875. The hype scares the crap out of me. There seems to be a lot of mis-information on the net regarding it. Near as I can tell reading the text it won't nail the small home gardener or urban farmer UNLESS they process food for consumption by any other than their own household. This means don't make a pie for your kids school bake sale or give your friend a jar of your jam.

If you like local farmer's markets... There probably won't be any. Your u-pick berry/fruit places will probably be forced out of buisness and going to your local farmer for eggs or milk won't be happening.

I can see why the bill is set as it is in order to protect your food safety. You folks use sewage to fertilize your farms. Didn't anyone ever tell you not to crap where you eat? I'm certainly not about to defend this bill in any way shape or form but I can see some logic in it. Very little; but some. I'm off to do some more research. This is scary sh!t.
