FDA and S510 Food Safety Act
(NaturalNews) Senate Bill 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, has been called "the most dangerous bill in the history of the United States of
America." It would grant the U.S. government new authority over the public's right to grow, trade and transport any foods. This would give Big brother
the power to regulate the tomato plants in your backyard. It would grant them the power to arrest and imprison people selling cucumbers at farmer's
markets. It would criminalize the transporting of organic produce if you don't comply with the authoritarian rules of the federal government.
"It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one's choice. It will
be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God." - Dr. Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistleblower
This tyrannical law puts all food production (yes, even food produced in your own garden) under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security.
Yep -- the very same people running the TSA and its naked body scanner / passenger groping programs.
This law would also give the U.S. government the power to arrest any backyard food producer as a felon (a "smuggler") for merely growing lettuce and
selling it at a local farmer's market.
It also sells out U.S. sovereignty over our own food supply by ceding to the authority of both the World Trade Organization (WTO) and Codex
Alimentarius.
It would criminalize seed saving heirloom seeds into common criminals. This is obviously designed to give corporations like Monsanto a monopoly over
seeds.
It would create an unreasonable paperwork burden that would put small food producers out of business, resulting in more power over the food supply
shifting to large multinational corporations.
FDA and S510 Food Safety Act
now i doubt that the government will have agents stalking farmers markets but when i looked at some websites there were provisions in the bill
regarding seeds... monsanto is the worlds largest and damned near only seed provider left in the world... michael taylor is the president obama's food
czar and he'll be overseeing that the act is implemented properly and will also oversee the FDA on the matter... michael taylor was former former vice
president of monsanto... talk about things that ya' go hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
i read the bill was amended somehow and passed the senate...
since the article identified Codex Alimentarius i figured i'd jump in here... the FDA(on behalf of big pharma) has tried to push Codex Alimentarius
through the house and senate four times now... each time the legislation failed only because concerned constituents contacted their legislators in
massive numbers warning them to not pass the bill... it just goes to show you the power people actually have when they are motivated... there are
plans to present Codex Alimentarius up for vote the fifth time next year...
among other things Codex Alimentarius would tightly control ALL and i mean ALL supplements and herbs in powder, liquid, tablet and capsule form... the
bill would only allow regulated pharmaceuticals to be able manufacture them and you would need a doctors prescription to get them... it's also
important to note that the dosage would be limited to the established RDA(recommended daily allowance)... the RDA is the minimum amount required to
sustain life... in other words, all you may have access to is a one a day equivalent... this is serious #... big pharma has already had this law
passed in europe... big pharma has never removed its sights off the US...
It does not apply to citizens growing their own on a small scale ,but they hold farmers to it . Why do you think so many farmers are being put out of
business ?
Between the not being able to grow heirlooms ,or infringing on Monsanto's seed patents ,they're killing them all off,one by one .
