Farmers' Markets

There is some buzz about the an obnoxious new bill the Democrats are proposing that would effectively shut down Farmers' Markets

What this will do is force anyone who produces food of any kind, and then transports it to a different location for sale, to register with a new federal agency called the “Food Safety Administration.” Even growers who sell just fruit and/or vegetables at farmers markets would not only have to register, but they would be subject inspections by federal agents of their property and all records related to food production.

As an aside, I note that many of the "Farmers' Markets" I've been to recently are pretty phony. When I see grapes, papaya and corn in June in downtown Boston at a "Farmers' Market" I wonder what the point is. Judging by the labels on discarded boxes you can find at these things, the farmers in question are living in Guatemala.
