>>>The power of food: House quietly passes HR 2749, Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009<<<

Very sadly, we are rushing headlong into oblivion...

He who controls the food, controls everything!

The following post in response to a pro-HR2749 article pretty well sums it up.....

“Sadly, the Make Our Food Safe coalition is using the pain and suffering of victims and their families and the funding of the multi-billion dollar Pew Charitable Trusts to press for passage of a bill that will NOT do what they represent that it will. Furthermore, they have not only misrepresented the present situation and the legislation, they have dissembled.

And, you, Mr. Flynn, I challenge to do more than this parroting of the 1-14-10 press release that MOFS made via the subsidiary of one of the top 10 lobbying firms in Washington. Show us exactly how S 510 or HR 2749 would have made a difference in the outbreak due to the Peanut Corporation of America.

Instead, both bills will restrict the availability of the healthiest food in America—food grown, processed and distributed locally for local people. The proposed legislation will also force most of the young people in my area (western NC) to give up their new careers of farming because they won’t be able to make a living working within its inappropriate constraints.

And those of us, like me, who have committed years of our lives and much of our wealth to revive local, healthy food for local people while not making the minimum wage will probably have most everything we’ve worked for destroyed by legislation that will advance the industrial agriculture which is creating the problems.

For the rest of the story of this legislation, please write me at healthyfoodcoalition@gmail.com.”
