Food sovereignty means the right to feed each other. Some people need laws (and this one ain't bad). Some of us just do it ("The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people). The PRIME Act would legalize in-state sales of locally-produced, custom-slaughtered beef, pork, or lamb to consumers, restaurants, hotels, boarding houses, and grocery stores. This would go a long way in decentralizing meat processing in the United States.
