No shit but i bet less then 5% of the people with yeards even grow gardens.

My wife is going to try her hand a canning some tomatoes this year so we will see how that works out.

Why can't the goverment come up with levels of standards to rate each food. So something low in fat and salt would get a high grade while something high in those would get a lower grade. So then consumers and producers can decide on the products they make or we use. Very easy and it does not force anyone to make their food to goverment standards. I personally think that processed food is high on sondium but I don't want the goverment mandating what can and cannot go on my shelf.
