A Florida couple received a $ 500 fine for growing vegetables on their own plot, which they have owned for over 20 years. They had to fight for their right to organic food, and in the end of several court hearings, fans of renewable food managed to win.
Florida officials accused the owners of the garden of violating the aesthetic appearance of the street, although the site was ennobled as much as possible. In fact, the problem was that this family decided to feed themselves on their own, away from the corporate culture of food and agriculture. The same story in this state happened to a woman who was able to install a green power plant in her home and completely abandon government supplies of gas, heat and electricity. After winning the trial, her lawyer added this precedent to his portfolio to help others who want to be independent of the imposed energy supply.
Florida is not the only state where greening is becoming illegal. Recently in Texas, special forces raided the Garden of Eden settlement, which is completely self-sufficient in energy and food. All residents of the commune were arrested for not wanting to be sold into slavery to the corporate system.
