And as noted, it did not originate as a government proposal. It was the growers who proposed it.

I really fail to see the issue -- other than the political one reflected in the article you linked.
OMG! I really don't care which party, who happen to be in charge, imposed it. I'll find a new f***n article that is as party unbiased as possible to replace it. I don't even belong/agree with either major political party.

I know it is only $0.15 but it always starts off small.
