    In a recent post regarding LD783, Maine’s possible amendment to its constitution about food rights, you wrote:
    “Maine introduced a new bill (LD 783) in 2015 that would (if passed) change the state constitution to list the “Right to Food” as an unalienable right for its citizens. This would be very similar to the Wyoming Food Freedom Act, since it would allow residents to purchase food from any source, without the government being able to regulate it.”

    This is NOT true at all. This amendment would simply make the statement that the people of Maine have a right to food of their choice. It would NOT change any laws, rules, or regulations regarding food in anyway. It is certainly not even close to a “Food Freedom Act” like Wyoming’s or the pending one in Utah. Please get the facts and post only clear, correct information. The internet is rife with misinformation, let’s not make it worse.
