“Look up the facts before you smear her.”

That’s ironic. Your post makes my case. The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act is precisely what I was referring to. In a nutshell, all food production falls under the oversight of the:

“-Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in conjunction with the Secretary of Agriculture, to publish proposed rules for establishing “science-based minimum standards” for the safe production and harvesting of fruits and vegetables within one year of the enactment of this bill (Sec. 105).”

and,

“-Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, to allocate resources to inspect any food item imported into the United States according to the known safety risks of the food, and the compliance history of the importer (Sec. 201).”

This bill grants our federal government carte blanche authority over ANYONE who produces and sells food. You’ll note that the bill does not specify the specific size of the business.

NOTE: The sponsor of the bill is a........(wait for it) DEMOCRAT; Rep. Sutton, Betty (D-OH) . The majority of supporters of this bill were DEMOCRATS.

Whose smearing who?
