I am thinking of buying a handgun and having my son teach my to shoot. I’m seventy years old. Do you have any suggestions?
Michele Bachmann voted yes?????????????? Why?
It's not (just) the food they're trying to take control of, it's the countryside with all of its military advantage. Whoever controls the country (farmland), and to a lesser extent, the back country (wilderness) controls the nation.
It's not about "food safety", it's about rural cleansing.
good to see so much response to this thread. then topic was posted after the vote but there wasn’t this sort of response.
i hope this is a real wakeup call to the libtard organic eatin’ obamites.
hopefully public outrage will spill over and NAIS will get mainstream exposure.
Bump to read the replies to your question...

Control the food you control the people.
BTTT
I hope I'm wrong about this but I'm afraid we're on the verge of civil war, civil disorder and food riots.
What Congress did here was very criminal to say the least. What they've done is give politically minded bureaurats the power to starve people.
Unfortunely there are some clowns and goonies in Washington who seem to have the mindset of Robert Mugabe. He's the clown from Zimbabwe who finds the idea of starvation as a political tool attractive. I guess some in Washington feel the same way.
Whoever voted for this B.S. and C.F. needs to have his or her butt run out of town.

Welcome to the new world order. With control ovee our food supply they have complete control over everyone.
Fascism in America, my God what will we do to survive?
The entire HR 2749 bill was completely wiped and replaced with an amendment that was the text of another bill similar to, but far more lethal than the first.
I’ve been trying to verify this, with no luck. I see one mentioned amendment, but no text, no details.
Nationalized Banking
Naitonalized Auto Industry
Nationalized Health Care
Cap & Trade
Nationalized Food Production
(Nationalized means confiscated/stolen)

Thank you.
You know what though? 2010 seems a terrifying long way off! Look at what they are doing six months in!
This whole part of the region where I live was based on two industries, manufacturing and farming. 12 factories (all) have shut down and moved to either Brazil or Mexico. We have been devestated with unemployment with about 8000 people trying to find work that isn’t there. Now our farmers are going to be screwed too?
I was mad last night, and I woke up angry this morning.
“Requires each food facility to: (1) conduct a hazard analysis; (2) implement preventive controls; and (3) implement a food safety plan. “
Yes, but they didn’t define facility. In the first bill it was excluding farms and private property. Now it doesn’t.
Sigh...
What makes it worse is when people rise up over this BS, They are gonna blame whitey for Baracks failure.
I guarantee the meme will be that if we had just supported him and gave him a chance he could have done great things.
He is selling out America
““The actions we are taking today will result in safer food in our country, which means healthier children, longer lives and less costly healthcare.””
Isn’t this nice? The government is going to take care of us! Why should we complain about breaking the constitution or giving the government control over our food supply!
Just think people, if this bill passes the Senate, the Obamacare passes and the Energy passes... our government will have just as much power over us as Saddaam did over the Iraqis. Our food, medicine and electricity. And the wording in this bill already gives the Feds authority to ‘quarentine’ an area. So just like Saddaam had a ‘shut off valve’ for areas of Iraq, so will we.
God help us.
