You wont beleive this

At the small holders meeting a nice lady told us that we can not feed our chickens with any food we grow ourselves or anything that is not sold as chicken feed and then sell the eggs. She went on to say its the same for any other animals that might get in the food chain and be sold. I asked her about my apple tree and what I should do if an apple fell off and the chickens started to eat it. She said I have to make sure they don't.
I really don't think she liked my reply.

Where does all this bollocks come from?

The EU mainly.

It's the same sort of legislation pigs cannot be fed swill from waste food bins any more.

It's designed to prevent diseases such as CJD spreading through the food chain by animals being given food that cannot be certified as free from virus and pollutants.

In my RAF DAYS the pig swill man came round to the mess every day. It was ages before I found out he was delivering! :turd:
If you don't have to give up your car because other people commit crimes in their cars, why should I have to give up my firearms because other people commit crimes with their firearms?
