that's crazy.
NO.
Some of us can our own hard worked for garden food and raise our own cattle, etc.
It's not hoarding, it's healthy and economical.

impossible to enforce and lets just see them try They dont stand a chance

If anything the government should be promoting the having of 1-2 weeks food on hand.

Doesn't FEMA and the Red Cross recommend 2-3 days of 'food stored away' for emergencies?

But it would be too easy to find people to arrest for this:

I mean seriously how many people get paid at the start and middle of the month, who then either buy food in bulk a day or so after being paid?

This sort of law won't fly.

Sound's like just another excuse for the law enforcement to enter your house, trample on your rights, and to help meet their quotas.

Great post!

Has ATS been hacked? My ribbon is displaying avatars, and the quote button is a pic of a ballet dancer.

The problem with this is that ANYthing can be considered hoarding. Gold/silver/money/canned food/water/cloths/electronics/anything. If you have 2 salt and pepper shakers then you are a hoarded. This law should be outlawed and the people who proposed it put in jail forever! The law doesn't say just canned food. it's everything.

You could also look at it as any Rich person, the 1%, is a hoarder and all of their wealth should be seized. These should be the first people taken care of by this law. but it won't happen. they will come after all of you first. Hell, if you have a business your a hoarder because who needs 100 pair of nike shoes? or 100 issues of a comic book. Grocery stores are hoarders because they throw food away every day, same as your local coffee shop or burger place.

This law is stupid!

ah, i see there is some debate on wether or not the bill actually states the wording of the original post's title. regardless i still hold my beliefs based on the original post as a theoretical situation or a real one

Then I'm an outlaw because I've canned my veggies from my garden and have a year's supply of tomato sauce? Give me a ticket, come arrest me....the Veggie Outlaw, that's me. Ridiculous!

The hoarding of food of more than 7 days is a NWO government Trick on the American public and I will explain my concern in case you haven't really pondered much or given any meaningful consideration to what this crazy law means in other ways not yet being discussed any where on the web.

By introducing such legislation it places the government and the enforcement arm that will enforce these violations is a position to appear legally acting on the interests of the public, when in reality, such draconian laws will only provide the all ready out of control government and those within it that will abuse such legislation to create a way, any way to declare you a criminal, so that they can feed you to the NWO prison complex system that awaits you.

Think for a moment about what I am going to provide you as an example of how easy it will be to declare anyone a criminal under this recent legislation.

Buying a typical 10 lb bag of common Idaho potatoes has the real potential to make you a criminal under this law because of course potatoes last longer than 7 days depending on how you use them as do many vegetables and melons and so forth.

Then we have left food overs and items in the freezer.

Are we now to construe as a result of this most recent legislation that keeping anything in the freezer could now be considered a criminal offense? I mean, really, could a Popsicle become a criminal offense used to fine you or arrest you?

Well, as anyone can see, there are too many ways that this stupid law can be used to declare you a criminal and that is what this law is all about. Finding ways to incarcerate everyone while feeding a system of greed and profits built on the pain and suffering of innocent victims.

This recent legislation did not have anything to with hoarding food as you and I would define it, but with setting a 7 day limit to stored foods, it in effects outlaws freezers and dry storage and canning your own fruits and vegetables.

What's next? TSA checking the canning goods department and freezer bag departments with constant surveillance for potential terrorist?

Anyway, I hope I have given you something else to consider besides all the typical gibberish that such a bill generated, because we as a nation need to be discussing much more than the brain dead subject matter the media is providing regarding this matter.

We need to be discussing what we are going to do about it because to do nothing is exactly what they NWO already think we will do. This is why they act so arrogant with the passage of such draconian anti-freedom legislation.

Lastly, we need to find a way to not only get rid of such legislation, but to hold accountable every politician that voted for its legislative approval.

Thanks again for the thread.
