A co-op director in Missouri claims he was arrested for questioning the authority of inspection agents to enter a private, non-commercial food club, in a move critics say is only the most recent example of abuse by government regulatory processes over the nation’s food supply.
New Melle Food Co-op Director Wyatt Gober told The Epoch Times that he was arrested and charged with contempt during a March 19 court appearance in which he asked for clarification on the rules allowing inspectors from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to enter the private establishment.
