I can understand everyone being pi$$ed about another shady bill passing, but has anyone actually read the thing? I’m about half through it and it looks like the bill will require documention on any food sold to the US public be documented. This includes imported food and grains.
Here’s a small section of it that nobody has mentioned yet,
“DEFINITION OF FACILITY- Paragraph (1) of section 415(b) (21 U.S.C. 350d(b)) is amended to read as follows:
‘(B) Such term does not include farms; private residences of individuals; restaurants; other retail food establishments; nonprofit food establishments in which food is prepared for or served directly to the consumer; or fishing vessels (except such vessels engaged in processing as defined in section 123.3(k) of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor regulations).
I’m not saying that this is a good bill, with so many Dems voting for it you gotta know that it’s up to no good. But, please read the thing and then write, call or email your reps to b!tch about it, get informed.
And that exclusion for farms??? Gone! And that includes you organic idiots who thought you had kissed enough behinds to have your industry excluded.
The newly revised bill that appeared overnight after the original was defeated 29th of July, now includes all those farms we were told would not be affected by this legislation.
The entire HR 2749 bill was completely wiped and replaced with an amendment that was the text of another bill similar to, but far more lethal than the first.
I’m trying to wade through it, but I can’t figure out their definition of a “Facility”. That’s the kicker, there IS no definition of a “facility”.
That part was removed last night.
