Exclusive: Obama’s New Food Act to Seal Sorry State of America’s Farms
Paul Williams, Ph.D.

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.

Are those things you listed for real? It’s too insane to be believed...
>>> Sounds crazy but it’s true. <<<
Destroying our way of life , one sorry legislation at a time, and at breakneck speed..
I also am amazed (by some of the other threads)
but alas it is near the full moon..
I went shopping today (Aug 3) to get some cheap meat on sale. I’m am distracting myself from thinking about my baby being at MEPS and possibly on his way to some good training and good discipline by canning, my new favorite hobby.
The stores were packed! I only notice the rush to the stores on the first of the month when I accidentally get caught in the crowds. Then, wondering why everyone is shopping on that day, I finally remember.
My thoughts today were about - what will happen when the welfare and food stamp checks stop or are reduced? These people that can’t save and plan ahead will be in a world of hurt. If they have to go shopping on the exact day their government handout shows up because they are out of supplies, how will they manage when TSHTF.
I imagine they’ll come stealing from the rest of us. It’ll be ugly.
Anybody else notice this where they live? (The mob of maniacal shoppers around the first of each month.)

In my opinion, if they would train the farm workers and hire people who knew how to wash their hands, after going potty, we would not have e-coli in our foods.
Of course, they do not talk about the bad berries of a few years ago..........the pickers were paid by the pound, so when they took the berries to the scales, they peed on them so they would weigh more.
I remember the berry recall, maybe 10 or 15 years ago.
Now every year it is the cantaloupe.
I have grown in all kinds of manures and find they are fine, rabbits can be used fresh, we even used it on our orchids.
