The GOVERNMENT know what's best for you. You are too stupid to figure it out, you must be protected from yourself. Next the government will control the actual foods you can buy and the portions you can consume. The GOVERNMENT will take care of you.
And who are these all knowing beings who form the GOVERNMENT?
This is sickening. There go individual freedoms. People aren't even free to decide what natural supplements to consume.
Just now?
"According to John Hammel access to supplements and herbs as we have known it for previous decades, and as needed for any kind of supplement therapy, orthomolecular therapy, life extension program or complementary medical practice, stands now at a turning point.
If CAFTA is not defeated in congress then USA trade practices will be under the influence of the fascist, rich corporate murderers. We won't be able to grow or buy milk thistle or gingko biloba if they don't want us to. And our individual "member state" (the USA) wont have a say in these "trade practices." (Loss of national sovereignty and democratic representation.)
We can eat processed GMO poptarts and radioactive Quaker Oats with partly hydrogenated corn oil and aspertame, and for vitamins we will be alowed by the rich to buy Vitamin C that is 60mg - maximum legal potency - produced by the company of their choosing - and we can bloody well live and die when they want us to - perhaps from a plague of genetically engineered organisms as in Africa. The whole world will be waco, wounded knee, ruby ridge, the Ludlow massacre, and the Irish Potato famine.
Of course destroying real medicine, violating our right to truthful medical information and access to real medicine, is only one part of this our future."

From the newsmax article...
"This is a directive designed to open the internal market and boost growth while ensuring a high level of protection of public health," said EU Health Commissioner Markos Kyprianou."
Wow, I feel better knowing so much concern and loving help is being shoved in my general direction. Perhaps the first product that should be scientifically approved could be called Soma. You know? They could make soma candy, soma breakfast cereal, Soma Bread, Soma ice cream. It could be the main food produced and sold to us poor ignorant little people of planet earth...
