Willful blindness is nuttier than an alcoholic’s denial.
TYRANNY MARCHES FORWARD
ON INCREASING LEVELS OF IDIOCY.
WALNUTS ARE A PROHIBITED DRUG NOW ACCORDING TO THE FDA.
Sheesh.
With Marxist globalist bureaucrats from hell . . .
who needs a dwarf star or WWIII or Aggressive ET’s bent on conquest . . .
They’ll have to hurry to beat Othuga’s regime to utter destruction.
I like it!!! Perfect description.
IF you read the article...he was making claims the FDA has not allowed for many many years. FDA will not and has not let a food product make those kind of claims...for at least 20 years or more.
Hey one of our favorites is homemade oatmeal, walnut cookies. They are very yummy and GOOD for you, too. The container of oatmeal’s label has “OATMEAL CAN HELP REDUCE CHOLESTEROL”. Will THAT be next???
Unbelievable! Thanks for the ping FARS.
“I want to be clean when the FDA SWAT teams come storming in at 3:AM! “
Thanks for the reminder. I’m hiding my stash now!
Obammy and his hired goons can kiss my beneficent bounty!!!
And to think, I used to wonder how on earth the German people ever let the Third Reich get where it did. Now it is plain to see how easy it really was.
Don’t forget to hide the Quaker Oats! I got careless and left them right out on the counter last night.
Codex Alimentarius:
http://www.codexalimentarius.net/web/standard_list.jsp
“While the exemption clause (USC 3512(a)(1) and (a)(2) was created to supposedly protect our laws from harmonization to international standards, it has proven to be totally ineffective. The United States has already lost seven trade disputes despite the exemption clause. Due to the enormous pressures put on them by lobbyists from multinational corporations (who contribute millions to congressional campaigns), Congress bowed to pressure and changed U.S. laws.
It appears our government (as well as al others) is being manipulated one way or another to serve the goals of the UN, the World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization. Food control equals people control — and population control. Is this beginning to sound like world government and one-world order? Could this be the real goal behind Codex Alimentarius?
The United States, Canada, the Europeans, Japan, most of Asia, and South America have already signed agreements pledging total harmonization of their laws including food and drug laws to these international standards in the future.
WHAT CODEX WILL BRING
What can we expect under Codex? To give you an idea, here are some important points:
Dietary supplements could not be sold for preventive (prophylactic) or therapeutic use.
Potencies would be limited to extremely low dosages. Only the drug companies and the big phytopharmaceutical companies would have the right to produce and sell the higher potency products (at inflated prices).
Prescriptions would be required for anything above the extremely low doses allowed (such as 35 mg. on niacin).
Common foods such as garlic and peppermint would be classified as drugs or a third category (neither food nor drugs) that only big pharmaceutical companies could regulate and sell. Any food with any therapeutic effect can be considered a drug, even benign everyday substances like water.
Codex regulations for dietary supplements would become binding (escape clauses would be eliminated).
All new dietary supplements would be banned unless they go through Codex testing and approval.
Genetically altered food would be sold worldwide without labeling.
According to John Hammell, a legislative advocate and the founder of International Advocates for Health Freedom (IAHF), here is what we have to look forward to:
“If Codex Alimentarius has its way, then herbs, vitamins, minerals, homeopathic remedies, amino acids and other natural remedies you have taken for granted most of your life will be gone. The name of the game for Codex Alimentarius is to shift all remedies into the prescription category so they can be controlled exclusively by the medical monopoly and its bosses, the major pharmaceutical firms. Predictably, this scenario has been denied by both the Canadian Health Food Association and the Health Protection Branch of Canada (HPB).”

People, this sh!t’s real. Oh, for the days of tinfoil.
We are long past our awkward stage. It's okay to shoot the bastards.
Catsup is processed tomatoes, what would you call it, beef? Of course it is a vegetable unless you want to argue it is a fruit, and that argument was given up long ago.
The FDA probably doesn't really think that walnuts are drugs. But they can't let anyone get away with making health claims that they didn't approve. Because that would set a precedent that might provide legal leverage to threaten their bureaucratic power. In a way this is another sign of the increasing influence of lawyers.
Stevia nixes itself, tastes exactly like saccharin. Bleeeegh.
Back in 1973 or 1974 there was something called the Hosmer Bill which was going to cause all supplements to be treated as “over the counter drugs” which would have made them much more costly. There was a huge outpouring of outrage from right, center and left. I testified in a hearing room filled with about 500 people. Time to bring out the big guns again. I think that big pharma is afraid that if people keep using their supplements, they won’t need to buy as many drugs. Good nutrition and supplements is one of the best ways to keep healthy and ruduce national health care costs.
I’m making one last pantry sweep then I’ll turn on my electric fences. I hope I didn’t overlook anything.
Der Kenyan Fuhrer has decreed it!
The FDA has been making these ‘determinations’ for decades - stupid as they may be.
It’s not something that just started under Obama.
