The power of food: House quietly passes HR 2749, Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009
The Collins Report ^ | February 5, 2010 | Suzanne Eovaldi

While millions of Americans are struggling to feed their families, President and Mrs. Obama have thrown 170 parties costing taxpayers an estimated $10 million dollars and have served such delicacies as Wagyu beef, at an obscene cost of $100 to $150 a pound, according to a special investigation done by GLOBE MAGAZINE. Was Henry Kissinger prescient when he said, “If you control the food supply, you control the people?”

Just consider several troubling governmental actions concerning our food and water resources. The US House of Representatives quietly passed HR 2749, that if confirmed by the Senate and signed into law by the President, would empower the FDA to control and regulate how our crops are grown and harvested.

Euphemistically called Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009, this proposed new law would regulate and tax our small farmers and local food producers but apparently would not address needed regulation for the large agribusiness industry.

Why are authorities not investigating what would happen if lab terminator seeds pollinate with the replicating seeds our grandparents used to gather for spring planting?

A second initiative by UN organizations seeks to regulate what Americans eat and drink with the attempted passage of very draconian food code laws called Codex Alimentarius. According to Robert Singer’s research, this Codex program began in l962 in the UN Food and Agricultural and World Health Organizations. He said while Codex’s stated mission is to protect consumer health, it may well present the greatest disaster ever for America’s food supply. He warns if not stopped, Codex is “likely to be implemented in 2011.” Fortunately courageous action by Dr. Rima E. Laibow M.D. and others at HealthFreedomUSA.org blocked implementation of Codex in the U.S. at the end of 2009. Our use of vitamins, herbals, minerals and supplements would be sharply limited

the first ones to go down will be the small, organic, “buy local” farmers that the fringe left seems to worship. LOL!

True enough. But know that a large majority of small organic farmers and ranchers are very conservative and most of them keep their views to themselves when selling to liberals. An exception is Joel Salatin who is willing to speak his conservative pro life views even to liberal audiences.

Thankfully my congressmen didn't vote for this. I'm in shock Bachmann did. I'd heard a rumor a couple of months back that she was going to, but I couldn't believe it. Just wow.
