    U.S. Congress Proposes Food Safety Admin To Protect The Public Health?

    Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 @ 8:36 am | Communications, Republicans, US Politics, We Think

    “To establish the Food Safety Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services to protect the public health by preventing food borne illness, ensuring the safety of food, improving research on contaminants leading to food-borne illness, and improving security of food from
    intentional contamination, and for other purposes.”

    H. R. 875 proposed February 4, 2009 to be enacted by the United States House of Representatives and the Senate.

    Read the proposed “Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009” here.

    This seemingly innocuous proposed bill, also known as the  “Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009”, has started a firestorm of controversy among many American citizens who are proponents of organic gardening.

    The federal legislative bodies are in a rush to get this bill passed. It is has the support by major chemical companies such as ADM, Monsanto and about thirty other companies with a vested interest in making sure the nation continues to use the petroleum based fertilizers and growth chemicals already in use. Chemicals that have over a period of years have contributed to the erosion of the public health.
    There is grave concern should this bill be approved, with its requirement  organic farms to use specific fertilizers and harmful insect sprays as dictated by the newly formed agency to “make sure there is no danger to the public food supply”, more harm than good will be done to the population.

    Do you recall how tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, mushrooms and any number of varieties of produce grown using petrochemicals–fertilizers and pesticides, have been recalled or banned because of contamination most often from the run off of contaminated water coming into contact with our least expensive food supply.

    Even back yard gardens, which are making a resurgence due to the down economy, in which  food is grown for family/personal use only, and not for sale will be affected. If this bill is passed no longer will so-called clean  heirloom seeds be available. The only seeds available to the general public and big farm business will be Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now manifest unexpected diseases in humans.

    And as if the contaminated water supply of many urban and rural areas isn’t enough to make the public cry out and demand purification standards be increased; (Prozac, birth control  drugs and other prescription medications have been found in the water supply of major cities; natural water supplies in rural areas have been contaminated by industries such as oil and coal mining.) there is a suspicion this proposed legislation, the “Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009” is part of a greater nefarious plan to control the people. As one writer stated  “putting chemicals in foods is a huge business and a tactic to use in order to keep a population chemically subdued. It is a way to drug a population so those in power have an easier path to do what they want. The chemicals break down the will of the people and their health.”

    Any time the federal government is in a rush to pass a law there is cause to investigate to find out why the rush to pass a new law.

    Remember the rush to pass the financial bailouts bills for the banking and automotive industry where the banks got a pass, the auto companies got a lemon and the consumers got more federal debt? Or how about the telecommunications legislation of recent years; you know the ones where the major telephone companies that helped spy on citizens private communications will not be nor can they be held accountable in a court of law for the breach of our constitutional right to privacy.

    Read the proposed “Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009” here.

    Contact your U.S. Congressional legislator or your U.S. Senator

    Tell them you want food grown without chemicals and pesticides. Tell them their jobs depend on properly representing the public interest and not the interests fo the lobby group with the most cash and perks.
