I have mixed feelings about the Girod case. While I fully support people growing and using God's gifts to mankind - plants - Girod had not only a "legal" duty but a Christian duty to warn customers of the potential harm of Sanguinaria canadensis (Bloodroot). It's not something for the stupid or careless to use. It's primary component is as powerful as toxic pharmaceutical chemotherapy agents. A wise herbalist if not naturopathic doctor should be fully consulted before use.
That said, the imprisonment is outrageous. A fine and maybe even confiscation of the product is the most this case called for. But Girod's primary "offense" is blasphemy against Mystery America's "authority," hence his being put in a cage for years ("...convicting him on charges that included conspiring to impede the FDA...").
