It would be ironic if government safety regulations on food growers and ranchers forces them out of business, leading to more imports from countries where food safety cannot be ensured or even monitored.
Some chick was on tv recently, saying we don’t always eat all the fruits and vegetables and grains we are SUPPOSED to eat. She has no clue. My husband is diabetic and can only have 20 gr of carb per DAY, that limits what he can eat. He can have almost no fruits or fruit juices too high in carbs. He can have very limited vegetables and NO GRAINS. He is thin as a rail. He went to a specialist, a DOCTOR in Kansas City who designed a diet just for him. People who make generalizations have NO CLUE. And Obama thinks he should tell us what to eat, and I noticed he drinks BEER, eats burgers and fries, eats donuts, eats ice cream and SMOKES! We don’t do any of those unhealthy things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the major problems I see in California is no rain falls on the crops for much of the year and water shortages have led to drip irrigation. In the midwest plants are regularly washed by rainfall, but not so in California. I just wonder if that doesn’t allow a lot more contamination.
Another gift from Waxman...
Their rules are for all people to be placed in large boxes so that they cannot travel or go anywhere. And the purchase of food from their Communist and Nazi brothers in the dictatorships to the south and west is their other goal.
Just ignore the law. There’s gonna be a lot of that going on the future.
And there’ll be firepower to back it up.
Oh, and Obamaloon idiots - don’t count on your military to help you.
Because people are too lazy or stupid to wash and cook their food before they eat it and want the Government to DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!
...giving the power mad ruling elite the excuse they need to take even more control over the people.
This is what I just sent.
I am writing to ask you to vote against H.R. 2749.
I believe it will become a huge burden to farmers. I don’t believe that it is very well written and so many things will be left to some bureacrat’s opinion.
Farmers in your district are holding on by the skin of their teeth and one more road block in the way might mean the extinction of agriculture in your district.
The fact that there are no longer government reserves means that the United States is no longer food secure. A lot of people don’t seem to think that food security is important but I dare them to say that when they are starving. It won’t matter how good our military defenses are if the country can’t feed itself and is at the mercy of the world.
The whole process of the bill is flawed and incomplete and would encumber farmers with so many regulations that the majority of us will be forced to go out of business. All this for a specious bill written by people who have never set foot on a farm and wouldn’t know corn from wheat.
“zero’s” goal is to control the life of the sheep from cradle to grave.

Do I really need a sarcasm tag?
...the Food Safety Enhancement Act (H.R. 2749) which was scheduled for consideration this week under suspension of the standard rules governing congressional legislation. The Ranking Member of the House Agricultural Committee urged his colleagues not to rush The Food Safety Enhancement Act (H.R. 2749) through Congress. The move to suspend the rules was defeated by two votes... As proposed by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, H. R. 2749 will grant the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate all farms and farm produce...IOW, this is all about the global warming hoax.
So my son wants to know, since no birds, animals or children are allowed in or near a field due to their potential fecal matter contamination, will they still be fertilizing with manure?
I’ve been drawing up plans for my own small farm, and now I know what I’ll name it.
Lexington Green
And when some federal “Major Pitcairn” and his redcoats come to inspect my farm and demand their license fee, then the second Shot Heard ‘Round The World will be fired. Only this time, the colonials will not retreat from the field.
If anybody can think of a better circumstance for starting the revolution, I’d be happy to hear it. Good God Almighty ... talk about going too far!!
And the power to order some farmer to destroy his crops and poison his pond appears exactly WHERE in the Constitution, again ...?
If this stupid bill passes and becomes law we will face incredible food shortages. This is serious stuff, folks. Where is the rebellion?
230 dems for this and 50 repubs
see what yours did

Iowa helped launch and create this nightmare. Let their farm economy eat cake.

Okay, so let me get this straight. They take over the auto industry and banks. They have bills to take over the power, food and health care industry. This sounds awfully familiar. Where have I heard this before? Ahhh history books, of failed governments. COMMUNISM. These dirty rotten bastards should all be tarred and feathered and run out of this country.
