Tennessee Considers Constitutionally Recognizing Right to Food, Including the Right to Save Seeds

Tennessee State Senator Frank Nicely proposed an amendment to the state constitution, to recognize people’s right to grow their own food and save and exchange seeds. Specifically, the proposed clause states that:

“All individuals have a natural, inherent, and unalienable right to food, including
the right to save and exchange seeds and the right to grow, raise, harvest, produce, and consume the food of their own choosing for their own nourishment, sustenance, bodily health, and well-being.”

The amendment also clarifies that this right does not justify poaching, theft or trespass.

Zuckerberg’s Facebook Empire Collapsing

After years of censorship, shadowbanning, and mass-deletion of user accounts, millions of users are now voluntarily leaving the platform, thus rendering it increasingly less relevant and less valuable. Meta’s creepy vision to convert people’s lives into a virtual-only experience, controlled entirely by Facebook’s masters, did not exactly help to repair trust either.
