What is the real agenda here. Why do they need this bill when there is a US Supreme Court ruling on the issue in 1942.

Because of this US Supreme Court decision in 1942, it now means the federal government can order you to halt food production in your own back yard by arguing that when you grow your own food, the amount of food you purchase from other food providers is reduced, meaning that your food production impacts interstate trade and therefore can be fully controlled by the federal government.

In other words, the federal government claims the authority right now -- even without the Food Safety Modernization Act -- to knock on your door and order you at gunpoint to destroy all the food in your garden, your greenhouse or your farm. They can order you to destroy all seeds in your possession and all food harvested from your own garden. And they can do all this with the full protection of U.S. law by simply citing the precedent set in Wickard v. Filburn in 1942 as ruled by the US Supreme Court.

The author of the linked article misquoted the Senate bill number for those who are not up with this piece of legislation.  It is S. 510 for those who would like to know.  I suspect this is all about self-sufficiency and possibly land confiscation under a Homeland Security premise.
