Somehow I have missed a whole segment of FR - 8 years and I never ran across the venomous members that are around. I went into an article:
“Organic food gets a raw deal from the FSA”
OMG there are those here who sound more like DU (only a bit more polite). Organics = starve the world...
Guess they like great things like Paraquat - one of the most widely used herbicides in the world...
Wonder why the CDC says:
Ingestion of small to medium amounts of paraquat may lead to development of the following adverse health effects within several days to several weeks:
* Liver failure
* Kidney failure
* Heart failure
* Lung scarring (may evolve over several weeks)
And that is just one of hundreds and hundreds used.
Well, let them eat what they want - just don’t mess with MINE!
Gee, I sure appreciate our FOG’s..

Exclusive: Obama’s New Food Act to Seal Sorry State of America’s Farms
Paul Williams, Ph.D.
//snip//
As proposed by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, H. R. 2749 will grant the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate all farms and farm produce in an attempt to purge America’s farmland of E. coli O157:H7, a lethal, food-borne bacteria.
Under the terms of the bill, crops must be grown in sterile areas, surrounded by 450 foot buffers, so that they are not exposed to other vegetation, runoff water, birds, beasts, or wildlife of any kind.
To create such sterile farms, ponds will be poisoned; wetlands drained; and streams re-routed to safeguard the crops from untreated water.
Trees will be bulldozed from agricultural corridors to protect the fields from bird droppings.
Fields will be lined with poison-filled tubes to kill rodents.
All children under five will be prohibited from stepping foot on farmland or tilled soil for fear of leaking diapers.
A crow landing in a cornfield will mandate the destruction of the entire corn crop.
Sounds crazy but it’s true. Such protocols are already in place throughout California. They were implemented by leading corporate agribusiness to offset the possibility of lawsuits erupting from a new breakout of E coli in supermarkets
and food chains.
Known as the Leafy Green Marketing Agreement, the California protocols set into place by industrial farming concerns have resulted in the destruction of vast tracts of verdant farmland and the end of the line for many family farmers.

Free Republic has changed in the last 4 years, I rarely post on the other threads, for I always pick up someone who gets nasty or worse yet, follows me back here or to the terror threads that I had and tell me to stop, I am wasting space.
