Industrialization of Food
For more than a year, the plan to capture – and kill – clean, local, organic, independent and safe farming and gardening has been wending its way through Congress. Last year, the devastating HR 1279 passed although we put up a good battle, delaying it for quite a while. However, at the end of the day, a good battle followed by a loss is still a loss. Then the field of battle shifted to the US Senate and the fake “Food Safety” bill S.510, where we’ve held the forces of Big Agra and Big Govt at bay for nearly a year…

We pushed back with over a million emails to the House of Representatives, but, as noted, HR 1279 passed, although with some language weakly protecting local food production, and we pushed back again with over a hundred fifty thousand emails to the US Senate over one weekend in November 2009. The bill went nowhere until the end of August when it was reported out (as the FDA letter below admits, as a “compromise” between the pro-Big Agra Biz Democans and the equally pro-Big Agra Biz Republicats) without any of the protective language that might have saved clean, local, organic, independent and safe farming and gardening… Our thanks to the office of the Good Doctor from Texas for alerting us to this Friday-afternoon attempt by FDA to push the Senate!

This bill is not what those links say it is. It doesn't include those things, and it protects organic standards..
