00:00I was struck by a book years ago written by Joel Salatin who was a farmer in the U.S.
00:06who is supplying eggs and chicken and meat and all sorts of stuff to his local communities and the title
00:13of the book is Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal.
00:18I want to feed my local community, it's illegal. I want to sell eggs, that's illegal. I want to provide
00:25chicken because I haven't got the right size abattoir on my property, it's illegal.
00:32I mean there is so much stuff that's illegal. I don't know who it is but I'd like to find
00:38them who has stopped me from drinking whole milk.
00:43I'd like to find the person who has stopped me from being able to buy cakes at a cake stall
00:49down the street.
00:51Those little acts like stopping me from choice of what food I want to have, forcing farmers to do stuff
01:01that is not either within their expertise or within their pocket ability to handle.
