Below is my response to this article about LDS canneries -- http://www.preparednesspro.com/breaking-news-lds-canneries-halt-canning-2/
I am LDS, and I have a hard time believing this is just some fed problem. And these excuses sound like the same junk my drug addicted dad gives. Don't take any personal responsibility for anything, blame everyone else. This just sounds like more republican whining to me. The same junk criminals say about law enforcement. Here's an idea, operate like proper LDS people ought to operate, well beyond and above the fed expectation. It's called "beating them at their own game." I've worked in food service in a hospital, then as a commercial electrician, doing medical, and federal installations. I ALWAYS passed inspection, those are both difficult areas to keep up with, code changes from county to county, township to township. I think the LDS in the East have just gotten lazy, and whiny.
Moreover, the fact that it isn't a national change tells me it isn't a national problem. What I'm reading is people aren't taking the service seriously, and are leaving things undone. It's the same reason the ward tools for lds.org in so many wards are left untouched, because people don't take responsibility to ensure they are populated with current information. Moreover, profit or non-profit, there are a lot more businesses selling preparedness goods. It could very well be that the cost is unjustifiable in the face of sound private sector competition. We no longer need to be the exclusive source of long term food storage, there are many sources now, everywhere.
The real joke is that their comments section is titled "state your mind" but they sensor out my comment. Seems more like they should have titled it "agree with us!" because that is apparently what they mean. They don't want a balanced view point, or a different perspective, what they want is sheeple.
