To quote a friend:
"ridiculous environmental law, and layer upon layer of regulation designed
to strangle small enterprises and give the ultimate advantage to
multinational corporations"
and
"What they are doing in the EU (and even more so, in the UK) is making it
impossible for small farmers to be able to continue to farm. Artfully
devised new regulations are making it impossible to make a living off the
produce of the land-- thanks to the same kind of thinking we're seeing here
in the Food Safety Act. They're just a few years further along than we are."
