Monsanto et al write up a 'food saftey bill' in the USA

In my opinion thats like asking the Devil to write the rules for Heaven. Madness. What really scares me is that if this goes into law, and it is implemeted in full, there may be a day really soon where growing food is a covert action that will make those caught in the process criminals if they are not complying with the wishes of these mega national chemical factories. Insanity just dropped a whole new level downwards on the spiral to hell. |

Re: Monsanto et al write up a 'food saftey bill' in the USA
Do people in the US protest against this sort of thing, or do they just go along with it? They tried to pass a bill in New Zealand last year, which would mean that many natural products and remedies would come under the pharmaseutical banner or be banned. There was much protest and it was thrown out in the meantime. People need to stand up against such insane legislation
This bill in the US seems to be in line with the dumbing down/controlling of the nation. |

Re: Monsanto et al write up a 'food saftey bill' in the USA
This bill looks to me to be lining up the USA to be Codex Alimentarius compliant.
I did try to read HR825- I don't speak legalese as I write real fantasy fiction! - and it seems to cover not only all food production and processing in USA but also what's imported into USA. I really hope I'm wrong but I can see USA food inspectors coming to my country and telling farmers here how to grow the barley for the whisky and how to raise the cattle for the Scotch beef and I see GM and even more growth hormones and antibiotics and pesticides. I find myself in the somewhat odd position of hoping that Prince Charles, given his recognition of organic farming, has the clout to stop a similar law coming into force here. love to all |

So the Illuminati's gardeners are trying to make a stand. Monsanto should have been shut down years ago for all the unethical practices they use. I hope the bill gets a lot of attention and not just slip in the backdoor like so many others have. It would really have a big impact globally if it did get through as Delphi wrote.

JURY VERDICT OVERTURNED ON LEGAL TECHNICALITY Fox appealed and prevailed February 14, 2003 when an appeals court issued a ruling reversing the jury, accepting a defense argument that had been rejected by three other judges on at least six separate occasions.

Monsanto's Dominance Draws Antitrust Inquiry
Today, most of the nation's two primary crops are grown from genetically modified seeds under Monsanto company patents. That breaks down to 93% of soybeans, and 80% of corn. Prices for these seeds have been steadily increasing over the last decade, almost doubling their cost of ten years ago. These pricing issues have also raised problems for competitors who claim that Monsanto has ruthlessly stifled them. U.S. antitrust investigators are now looking into the actions of Monsanto. Despite outcries from a number of farmers and competing companies, Monsanto is claiming it has done nothing wrong. Although, in Monsanto's eyes, it is just capitalism, many others, including small farmers, see hints of corruption. Although the small farmers are seeming to catch the brunt of the corruption, the company DuPont (a Monsanto rival) is pressing the antitrust investigation. According to DuPont's court documents "Monsanto has abused its unlawfully-acquired monopoly power to block competition, thwart innovation, and extract from farmers unjustified price increases of over 100 percent in recent years."

I would recommend downloading or buying a movie titled "Food Inc". It pretty much touches on all of the above and some, and would be good to share.

I personally do not think it is just happening here. Yes, many many of us have protested and started purchasing our food through the organic farmers which I now see they plan on surpressing. They want to impose huge taxes on all who grow their own food even small gardens. I wish more would stand up and tell them where to shove their fines / taxes and punishments I asked my daughter if she thought it was just OK for them to poison our food and why more didnt protest it Many petitions have been circulated and sent in but just like everything else, they are buried under the rubble at the white house |

Re: Monsanto et al write up a 'food saftey bill' in the USA
I'm not sure if it's the same bill, but a few months back they were trying to push through the "Food Safety Act of 2009". Luckily it did not go through due to the persistence of some concerned representatives.
And speaking of movies, "The World According to Monsanto" is also a very good watch. |
