The new amendment to the Farm Bill makes it illegal for states to prohibit "the sale of USDA inspected products."

As worded, if this passes, the impact at the state level would be:

-Unable to pass state/local laws which prohibit sale of foods from inhumane sources (force fed geese, tortured veal, etc.)
-Unable to pass state/local laws which prohibit sale of foods with GMOs, chemicals, or any ingredient which the USDA does not prohibit
-Even the inability to condemn spoiled or contaminated foods at the state and local level, where 90% of food inspection takes place

I urge you to sign the related petition, and I warn you to uncheck the "alerts" section to avoid eco-spam. Sigh:
