Oppose the New Zealand Government Food Bill 160-2

Sharing food is a basic human right.

The Food Bill 160-2 will seriously impede initiatives like community gardens, food co-ops, heritage seed banks, farmers markets, bake sales, and roadside fruit & vegetable stalls.

Signing the petition to show that you oppose Food Bill 160-2 is easy, just go to the this link, sign in with Facebook and click "agree" to give the petition access to your basic information (or create an account and enter your details if you're not on Facebook), then click "sign".

A link to the actual bill is here, and more information is available here. Over 22,000 people have signed the petition so far, but many more are needed to put a stop to this oppressive decision by the government.
