They are really serious about food control, aren't they?

Date: August 08, 2010 02:06AM This bill will make it illegal to grow ANYTHING at home:
[www.govtrack.us] Here are a few organizations which are opposing the bill: Weston A. Price Foundation Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund National Independent Consumers and Farmers Association Raw Milk Association of Colorado Farm Family Defenders Here is the list of associations which support the food control bill: American Frozen Food Institute Grocery Manufacturers Association National Fisheries Institute United Fresh Produce Association National Restaurant Association Produce Marketing Association General Mills Kraft Foods North America Consumers Union Center for Science in the Public Interest Food Marketing Institute American Public Health Association Center for Foodborne Illness Research and Prevention Consumer Federation of America International Bottled Water Association National Association of Manufacturers National Confectioners Association National Consumers League Pew Charitable Trust Trust for America's Health Snack Food Association Safe Tables Our Priority (STOP) American Bakers Association American Beverage Association International Dairy Foods Association International Foodservice Distributors Association National Coffee Association American Farm Bureau I will definitely leave US if this happens, but I am sure that eventually they will impose this to the whole world. I would rather be poor than be forced to eat what the big producers make (yes make, they don't "grow" like humans do, they "make" stuff). Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/08/2010 02:06AM by rab.

Date: August 08, 2010 03:23AM How to vote down someone when they (corporations) have billions of dollars ready to use to make things happen? Elections are a farce. Re: They are really serious about food control, aren't they?

Date: August 08, 2010 05:17AM Eh, then it becomes like pot. Grow your own, keep it silent and you don't get caught. The people who get caught are the ones who sell it. So grow your own food, don't sell it and you win. Re: They are really serious about food control, aren't they?

This is about the fifth or sixth go around for posts about this bill[ususally it's been brought up at one of the other forums here]. S. 510 has been tooled and retooled and, last I heard, tabled for decisions on "other stuff." Also, it would be impossible to implement(yes, I have read the whole thing), and I think enough Congresspersons realize this that they're OK with its being in limbo. Stay aware but don't panic, is my motto on this score. Re: They are really serious about food control, aren't they?

Date: August 09, 2010 12:27AM Could you please guide me to the section where this would apply to home-grown stuff? I scanned the bill but it seemed to be directed at sellers of produce, from what I could see. The thing which pisses me is that MY senator started this bill! Ugh! If anyone tells me the section, I will look it over and perhaps contact his office with protest. The fact that they are hooking up Homeland Security to this is alarming. Got fascism?

Gosh! Can a person live totally on sprouts? I can see my entire kitchen being a sprout garden if food becomes "illegal" out there. Vinny Re: They are really serious about food control, aren't they?

Date: August 10, 2010 07:50PM I think you could but where would one continue to get organic non-gmo seeds without growing them oneself is what I want to know. Re: They are really serious about food control, aren't they?

I already don't have anything to eat here since the CA almonds are pasterized Re: They are really serious about food control, aren't they?

Date: August 20, 2010 04:40AM buy directly from the grower if you can... but either way, im sure pasteurized almonds are better for you than not eating at all, but I assume you where exaggerating about not having anything to eat,lol  ... Ive heard though that some pasteurized but still labeled raw almonds are still sprout-able...--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?
