This is a terrible story of FDA over reach. Sam Girod, a simple Amish farmer was making a wholesome natural salve and got cross with the FDA on labeling. The FDA ended up charging him with felony drug distribution and interstate drug distribution. This is entirely crazy.

I am not going to write a lot about this because I think that the Family Cow Blog pretty much covered the story. Here is a link to that article:
