'Farmers and families need to have the freedom to feed their communities'

After successful lawsuits in several states protecting the right of consumers to sell food prepared in their kitchens to neighbors, the Institute for Justice is targeting North Dakota with its National Food Freedom Initiative.

Two women this week joined several other plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the North Dakota Department of Health, which defied its Legislature and adopted the "illegally crippling" Cottage Food Act.

IJ explained the lawsuit "aims to restore the food freedom North Dakotans had from 2017 until 2020, when North Dakotans could sell virtually any homemade food or meal directly to informed consumers."

"The lawsuit has taken on increased importance during the COVID-19 pandemic as consumers need access to safe, fresh and convenient food sources more than ever. The lawsuit now includes five plaintiffs, who all legally sold homemade food for years under the act and are now banned from doing so," IJ said.

Exactly!!! This is all about protecting corporations and nothing else. It's like when they cracked down on whole milk sales, it was cutting into the corporations bottomline.
