Unfortunately the bill did not pass.The bill shouldn't pass. It restates what is already in the Constitution. It gives credence to liberals who think that our Constitution doesn't make us sovereign -- that our sovereignty has to be established in some cheap HR bill.
It makes an ass out of U.S. Constitution.
Your right to choose your vitamin, mineral and other supplements may end in June-August of this year (2005). After that U.S. supplements will be defined and controlled by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The CODEX ALIMENTARIUS (Food Code) is setting the supplement standards for all countries in the WTO. They will be enforced by the WTO and will over ride U.S. laws. The U.S. President and Congress agreed to this take-over when the WTO Treaty was signed. Violations are punished by WTO trade sanctions. CODEX drastically restricts vitamins, minerals, herbs and other supplements. CODEX... They will over ride U.S. laws.
This is on another thread.
But, like you said, they can't over ride US laws...right?
