Does anyone else find it remotely disturbing that you can be arrested & jailed for farming or selling natural food products?

This is a long debated issue. On one side, it seems ridiculous that you can get into any legal trouble at all for selling natural, organic products to the public.

On the other side, what if the public gets sick from buying these products? Does the government have a responsibility to protect the public from health hazards?

This is an issue that requires a little understanding on both sides I think. I also think the government may be going in an extreme direction with this issue.
