I appreciate your optimism, Lawrence.

I would add that consumers, especially consumers of quality meats, 
need to work with local producers to create health regulations that 
work for the consumer instead of against him. In my WV county, for 
example, we are not allowed to slaughter anything on our farm 
(thinking fish, thinking chicken). We've also seen a recent attempt 
to 'outlaw' free-range chicken flocks in Virginia. (They spread 
disease to housed chickens...or so I here.) -Allan
