Pruss said to sponsor it so I suppose I am.

Here's the proper bill format, by the way.

If this act makes it to voting (which technically, it will), then it's very possible that soon corn will be the only permitted food.

Not sure why you'd think that. The RSP will be instituting a three-line whip in favor of it.

FYI It wasnt in correct format so I'm redoing it. When I'm done with it get back to me and tell me if you still uphold sponsorship or have any questions, concerns etc.

Thanks for the three-line whip. Anyways, I'm working on some clauses regarding proper inspection and trade regulations on corn.

Government funding can be directed to it, and all other foodstuffs will be considered contraband and destroyed.

Speaking of government funding, I have a clause saying that the government must give 1% or a higher amount of the yearly budget to the corn industry. And due to human function and metabolism other foods are allowed but in very small amounts.

We'll allow other foods, just in small amounts. Also, you can still have as much bread, apples and cheese as you want. They are the only exceptions.

And I have converted to the correct format now. Look and see the new clauses.

I had a clause saying that Dagmarian corn was banned from exportation because Dagmar corn was better than any other type of corn.

The second part was removed, thanks to the stupid red tape the decorators put everywhere, but Dagmar corn is still banned from exportation. Plan is to develop a black market around our corn.

Alright. Opinions on the clauses? I'm wondering though, should we be more strict about corn imports? We currently would just put the imported corn in the same inspection process we have for corn grown here.
