00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,920
So this November, the EPA is going to be voting on a bill to implement new water treatment

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,160
programs into all local butcher shops all the way up to the big packers.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:15,560
Now these new water treatment programs are going to be costing up to $2.3 million just

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,440
for all the new equipment and an additional $500,000 to get them installed and regulated

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,840
each year.

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:27,720
This is an attack on our food system if you were trying to buy locally or from your local

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,380
producers or from the local butcher shops.

8
00:00:30,380 --> 00:00:34,820
They simply do not have the money or the revenue to support this.

9
00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:39,480
So in a roundabout way, they're taking away your freedom and your right and our right

10
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:42,860
to sell meat directly to the consumer.

11
00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:47,140
They're taking away our rights to buy what we want and consume and put in our bodies what

12
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:48,140
we would like.

13
00:00:48,140 --> 00:00:52,580
They're forcing us into a box and forcing you guys to buy from the big packers that

14
00:00:52,580 --> 00:00:55,960
control 85% of the industry right now.

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,820
I'm curious to see what y'all think about this.

16
00:00:58,820 --> 00:01:02,580
And as always guys, buy American and buy local.
