Local farmers take case to Richmond (http://c-ville.com/index.php?cat=141404064431134&ShowArticle_ID=11430701083806100)
The key part is the last section, which specifies food products that do not require licensing. As a result, this bill does not cover hogs, for instance, or milk. “Simple stuff,” clarifies the senator (and candidate for governor). Items like bread, pickles and jam would fall into the protected category.
“If you and I as the consumer choose to buy that product and we’re aware that we’re buying at our own risk and from someone who has not met all the government regulations, we ought to be able to do that,” Deeds says. “It’s freedom of choice.”
Well, at least some food choice. Don't want to give the people too much freedom. They might poison themselves.:D
