What he's saying is we've lost the ability to compete in the current manufacturing game. But that is Manufacturing 1.0.
We need to create and become the leaders of Manufacturing 2.0 which incorporates environmental and social externalities. Companies who don't operate along these principles should be taxed and those monies put toward continuously improving global standards.

Here's a company, pushing a brand that's supposedly some little, old Judy who's just figuring out this web stuff and doesn't have time to reply to all her email... BULLSHIT. It's Petaluma Farms, one of the biggest egg producers in California.
The cost of this 'entertainment' affects all producers who honestly portray their products and story. Their messages are discounted and diluted by this bs.
I've spoken with a grocer in the SF Bay area who say most producers are "liars and full of it" because of this kind of advertising. That's what this really is, bs advertising and it doesn't help anyone.
For honest businesses, properly portraying their operations, let's call it what it is... Transparent Capitalism maybe?
Sorry and no offense, but your opinion is blissfully ignorant. It's a simple matter to trace obesity and other health issues to the increase in processed foods. Foods which are mostly created by the companies who influence this kind of legislation. Just a few seconds of research should convince you of this...
This bill places just one more issue on the small farmers plate. I grew up farming and ranching. As rampant development (causing increased traffic, trespassing, liability, etc) encroached on our SE Pennsylvania farm, we were forced to downsize. After selling our cows, we turned to buying milk illegally from another local farmer. Why didn't we just buy it from a store? If you'd ever had fresh, raw milk, you'd understand.
Most farmers I know, farm for the lifestyle. They're an independent lot and regulations like this is only one more reason to sell out to the highest bidder, aka, a real estate developer.
Increasing regulation in this area doesn't only hurt small farmers, it hurts communities, businesses, health, and in the end, the human spirit.
Sure there must be safe food. But I'd bet, given the food I had as a child (fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs, milk, chicken, pork and beef) along with all the 'contaminants' they must have had because they weren't irradiated, pasteurized, or processed gave me a much healthier foundation than most. You don't need your own farm for this, just go to a farmer's market. If you think it's expensive, compare it to your long-term health costs. Pretty damn cheap in the long run.
