That's not what Wickard v. Filburn was about. Wickard held that regulation of individual behavior could be legislated under the Interstate Commerce Clause insofar as that individual behavior had a "rational basis" effect on the interstate market for a commodity. This effectively allowed Congress to regulate most aspects of our lives under the auspices of the power to regulate interstate commerce.
