Ballot: Is there a right to Food?

What’s happening? Maine has a ballot proposition on the right to food. Supporters say it ensures the right to grow vegetables and raise livestock in an era when corporatization threatens local ownership of the food supply. Opponents say it endangers animals and the food supply.

Why is this important? The brainchild of this proposition is a Republican who calls it the 2nd amendment for food.

How will this be important? Supports sy this is basic common sense to have gardens and “to make sure the government can’t stop people from doing things like saving and exchanging seeds, as long as they don’t violate public or property rights. “
