FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (Illegal to grow your own food)
www.govtrack.us ^

Posted on 08/07/2010 6:47:50 PM PDT by 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.

I was watching Live Free or Die Hard (with my 78 yr old mom who said it wasn’t bad) and when the Capital bldg was blown up, I felt bad only for those founding fathers who had no idea how far we would fall.

They’re all such hypocrites. Worried about us getting sick and dying when they pay for 4,000 babies a day to be murdered.

Also the FDA reports to Homeland Security?

If this company is endangering the lives of animals, won’t that be against the law? /s

“This has been hotly debated on a gardening forum I belong to. You wouldn’t believe the people who think it’s a good idea. “It will keep us safe, level the playing field.”

More “leveling the playing field” crap. I guess it`s now racist to have a little garden.

The locations of those who chased away the workers, and the locations of those of us who gave only the number of people in the house, have been duly noted and entered into the database to be systematically relocated. (I moved the next month so my location is unknown right now.)

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or[a] the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Reads like a bill out of the 111th Congress (he who makes the laws for the "Renegade" beast). The House even has the "spake as a dragon" part down pat: Speaker Pelosi.

Just sayin'...

Better chance for it to pass in some form, than for welfare and food stamps to be repealed.

Do you think the government will "stop the production of commercial seed that isn’t a GMO,

As I said they already have.

I can buy non-GMO seeds.

and plant GMO’s near anyone who won’t submit/they can’t intimidate out of it"?

As I said they already have.

Really? The government does this?

Who do you think upholds the ability of Monsanto to prevail in its legal actions?

We're not discussing Monsanto, we're discussing the absurd assertion that the government is going to outlaw non-GMO seeds and that the government is going to plant GMOs around anyone who doesn't buy GMO seeds.

That has to be one of the silliest claims I've ever heard. And you just agreed with it. LOL!

No matter how many times you explain it, no matter how unimpeachable your sources

Where's your source for this.....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"?

Just post a nice link.

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

(excluding farms and restaurants)

...please, quote the chapter and verse from the bill where I won’t be allowed to have a garden.

It's not there, but from all the bed wetting on this thread, it's obvious no one else looked at the bill.

This is the kind of thing that people will get killed over.

Any jackbooted thug that would try to enforce this has it coming.

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

I had one - said he was on the Board of Directors of Monsanto. I'll see if I can find it, had computer issues so it might take a while.

In that entire link, not one mention of GMO or garden.

” Michele has HER garden.

Oh, I forgot, the serfs can’t have that.”

I’m sure the law has an exemption for taxpayer-financed gardens. Michelle’s garden—maintained by the WH chef—is safe. But until/unless Obama provides a bailout to home gardeners, you’re quite correct that the rest of us serfs won’t have the benefit of such an exemption.
