FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (Illegal to grow your own food)

www.govtrack.us ^

[Scythian]

This bill was considered in committee which has recommended it be considered by the Senate as a whole. Although it has been placed on a calendar of business, the order in which legislation is considered and voted on is determined by the majority party leadership. Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill, and in those cases the original bill, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned.

Do you think the government will "stop the production of commercial seed that isn’t a GMO, and plant GMO’s near anyone who won’t submit/they can’t intimidate out of it"?

As I said they already have. Who do you think upholds the ability of Monsanto to prevail in its legal actions? Legislature that makes laws on their behalf. Courts that make rulings in their favor. This bill is one more step.

[itssme]

I’m with you!

[WKUHilltopper]

“This has nothing to do with food safety and everything to do with control and taxes.”

You’re absolutely right.

[TigersEye]

Which part of the previous discussion of corn pollination and GMO did you fail to understand?

All of it. Toddsterpatriot is one of those people who is intentionally ignorant of anything that doesn't suit his position. No matter how many times you explain it, no matter how unimpeachable your sources and no matter how obvious the conclusions.

As I recall (can’t find now) the husband of one of the sponser’s is big guy in Monsanto which company is taking over all seeds.

Michelle Bachman's husband.

[Black Agnes]

You’re thinking of Rosa De Lauro’s husband. He’s the Monsanto stooge.

[Netizen]

Maybe they will have to start paying us all NOT to grow crops/food, instead of just a select few./sarc

I really do wish they would stop paying people to not grow crops. What BS.

[Bhoy]

Thanks!

require that each person (excluding farms and restaurants) who manufactures, processes, packs, distributes, receives, holds, or imports an article of food permit inspection of his or her records if the Secretary believes that there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to such food will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

Wouldn't canning items would fall under processing, maybe even manufacturing.

Eating anything from the store thats called healthy costs an arm and a leg anyway ...

[TigersEye]

Michele Bachmann’s husband, Marcus, is a therapist. I can’t find anything on him in connection with Monsanto. Do you have a link?

[Shadowstrike]

you won’t be the only one doing so.

Some folks that live in the big city just don't understand!

Food comes from the market,,,?,,,NOT!!! They cannot understand why some people in the USA want to

grow their own food and sell/share it with others,,,

I'm proud to say that many folks in the Ark-La-Tex area

still have small farms that grow produce to sell/use on

their own land...

Ok...if you are going to add such a controversial statement to the title...please, quote the chapter and verse from the bill where I won’t be allowed to have a garden.

Or at least, make the excerpt contain the relevent passage.

Otherwise you sound like Chicken Little

[W. W. SMITH]

For you Todd, It has become clear that math was the hardest.

It is also clear that you are a progressive. If you hurry and cancel your account you might beat the ZOT out the door.

BY BY fool

[FrogMom]

Are they just Tryin’ to pick a fight with us...?

Yes.

Once one of us starts shooting, he declares martial law and goes house to house (from their already-accumulated lists) and takes our guns AND our gardens.

I firmly believe that's exactly why they keep sticking their thumbs in our eyes.

[Cheapskate]

"What is the constitutional basis?"

Why, the Interstate commerce clause of course!

It works for everything else!!!!

[PA Engineer]

Its really time to stop granting tax exemptions for these non-governmental corporations.

If you google these groups you will find the majority have permanent DC addresses. Their tax filings are detestable things. They all must go in whatever it takes.

“Once one of us starts shooting, he declares martial law and goes house to house (from their already-accumulated lists) and takes our guns AND our gardens.”
~~~
Let's run the numbers,,,

1. All the Military number Less than 3 million,,,

2. All the LEO’s number less than 1 million total,,,

3. There are about 90 million gun owners in the USA,,,

4. We put 16 million under arms to Win WWII,,,

O’Bammy can declare or martial law or that he's the

Queen of the land,,,

He cannot enforce it...

[AbolishCSEU]

A FRIGGIN MEN!!! I just said the same thing to my “hubby” as I was sitting here reading this post. OUTRAGEOUS!! I say we napalm the entire DC capitol at the next “state of the obamion” address
