Background Information
A new food safety bill is on the fast track in Congress-HR 2749, the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009. The bill needs to be stopped.
HR 2749 gives FDA tremendous power while significantly diminishing existing judicial restraints on actions taken by the agency. The bill would impose a one-size-fits-all regulatory scheme on small farms and local artisanal producers; and it would disproportionately impact their operations for the worse.
HR 2749 does not address underlying causes of food safety problems such as industrial agriculture practices and the consolidation of our food supply. The industrial food system and food imports are badly in need of effective regulation, but the bill does not specifically direct regulation or resources to these areas.

beautiful music, btw, richard…keep “drumming” away!
these bills just keep flying out of the woodwork..i wonder how many more have to be written. are they waiting to do one massive food/vaccine bill with gmo everything in it relating to the “pandemic” level 6 the WHO just declared?
they’ll keep pushing until ONE of the bills (or more) finally passes. make sure to research Codex Alimentarius.
anyway, htese bills are downright frightening.

If we don’t stop this bill, be assured that we will all be eating Frankenfoods in the not too distant future. Monsanto can’t contain their enthusiasm but, they had better. Their Roundup Ready program is producing super weeds. Just like MRSA, we now have super pigweed that is resistant to Roundup. Add to this dimension the science that proves the perverted DNA of these Frankenfoods is crossing the species barrier and is found in the guts of bees. If the Frankenfoods don’t wipe out the bee population, the Chemtrails will.
Having harvested my first crop of broccoli from my new raised bed garden, I’ve called on this before and will keep calling my congressturd until they get the message.
