This is not Fiction and it could and will happen again and again. This is a NO Brainer. Passing this law would not only prevent future needless deaths but have a domino effect. First, protect the consumer. Second, reduce greenhouse gasses by forcing these mass producing companies to go back to common sense and getting rid of the corn fed cows and livestock. Eating grass naturally removes the Ecoli that is a killer. This boils down to "we are purposely poisoning ourselves for the mighty dollar". Third, not only going back to eating grass to rid disease but it would drop the "greenhouse gasses" because the waste would simply go back into the ground vs. tons of gasses being released in the atmosphere. So, we improve food quality. Improve health (health care reform), reduce greenhouse gas (global warming). Wow what one bill could do! Stand Up for what is Right. 2010-03-26T12:30:11Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-26:/comment/190783 TastyJustice Reintroduce Kevin's Law, Simple. I mean you look at the people dieing, and I mean it's stupid, If you make people sick, take them out. If people did not get sick, less money on sick people, and I am sure people are tired of seeing loved ones die because of things like this. Why wouldn't this pass? It makes more sense then the factories hiding how they treat the animals, and raise them! 2010-05-19T18:44:19Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-05-19:/comment/196947 TChristine5000 I believe that what this comes down to is that all food operations should have a HACCP plan. A HACCP plan is the basis of a clean, safe, and sanitary operation. It's ridiculous that people are getting sick from things such as E Coli and Salmonella, when it could be so easily prevented by incorporating HACCP plans and more rigid food safety guidelines. 2010-10-09T12:22:37Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-10-09:/comment/211855 katyn15 I just wrote my (retiring) representative: Representative Watson: I just watched Food, Inc. and would like to urge your support for a bill about meat safety, called Kevin's law: H3160 (Kevin, a 3-year-old, died 12 days after eating a hamburger). It is currently in committee, and has been stuck there for several years. Please also watch Food, Inc., which takes away the curtain the food industry conglomerates have put between us and where our food comes from. Thank you, Katy 2010-10-09T12:57:54Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-10-09:/comment/211856 katyn15 Hi All -- Kevin's law never passed and that congress is over. The bill to support now is S.510 - FDA Food Safety Modernization Act: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s510/show 2010-07-16T13:16:29Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-07-16:/comment/205805 ocice Why do corporations continue to (literally) get away with murder when the People are screaming for tighter regulations? Pass this law now! How many more people have to die before Congress takes this seriously? 2010-07-22T07:35:47Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-07-22:/comment/207210 ginhul Our nation's citizens have a right to healthy foods. Today's mass production of industrial, genetically modified food is detrimental to our health, inhumane to our livestock, enslaves our nation's hardworking farmers and their laborers, and adds decay to our planet. And it does all this in the name of profit for the handful of titans that control the industry. Why does a cheeseburger off a "dollar-menu" cost me less than a head of broccoli? It's insane! 2010-03-07T12:06:46Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-07:/comment/188113 easi0916 Please re-introduce Kevin's Law. The food industry needs better regulations, we need to be protected from eating contaminated food. 2010-03-07T14:34:01Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-07:/comment/188122 paul06harley Make this law how can we let this great injustice continue? Are we not the people we need to protect. NOT THE GIANT CORPERATIONS. 2010-06-15T17:12:20Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-06-15:/comment/198537 possea48 Please reintroduce and pass Kevin's Law H.R.3160. We all deserve safe, clean food. Without these regulations, what is the point of having a FDA? 2010-03-26T21:05:29Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-26:/comment/190828 merevachon On this site alone, 244 in favor and 7 opposed. In a democracy, that should be enough. It doesn't take much to see the value in this law and the importance in passing it. Pass the law. 2010-03-29T03:46:58Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-29:/comment/191142 cjacquez4 Pass Kevin's Law. Not only "Food, Inc." was an eye opener but also "Earthlings." How is the government going to actually care of the American people when it can't even control the food the factories are producing. The more unhealthy the food is the more unhealthy American's are going to be. I don't want the government to tell what I can or can't eat, but I don't believe the choice should come down the my wallet. 2010-07-25T16:47:00Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-07-25:/comment/207790 sweetrevenge019 I agree, watch the documentary called "Food Inc" It'll open up your mind on the way food is made and what you're really eating. Pass Kevin's Law. 2010-04-10T05:38:51Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-10:/comment/192590 alucero Please pass this bill. For the safety of our food. 2010-06-26T16:56:49Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-06-26:/comment/200423 JasmineKuzner As a business owner I answer to my patrons needs and wants. I demand the same from the businesses I patron. My family and I need and want our liberty to safe food and my government needs to ensure that. 2010-04-19T07:45:14Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-19:/comment/193747 brucemaclachlan Please re-introduce Kevin's Law. As citizens of the United States we are covered by 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness'. Contaminated food takes our lives and those of our children, the corporations that are preventing us knowing this fact anf force us to continue to eat from repeat offenders are denying our liberty, and being riddled with food borne pathogens is a serious impediment to any degree of happiness. Please choose the American people over the greed of a handful of companies and the farmers who have no option but to submit to their tyranny because of massive debt and intimidation. Surely it is common sense that a business that continually issues people with life threatening poison should be shut down? Surely we are allowed to eat food that has been stripped of contaminents, and surely the permitting of pathogens into the food simply because it makes it cheaper and it's too much effort to get them out is vile at best, evil at worst. 2010-04-22T16:52:10Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-22:/comment/194085 yraddict Please reintroduce and pass Kevin's Law H.R.3160. Plain and simple...get it passed! 2010-04-22T19:54:37Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-22:/comment/194098 mamajosie I agree 100% with brucemaclachlan. Our country has a history of letting large corporations slide and avoid any ramification of their careless actions simply all due to greed. We have made our mothers, fathers, and grandparents suffer injustice through the leniency that the government has given them for so long. And now what? We think our judicial system is just. We think that our government is for the people. They are the ones we are told to turn to and they ask for our votes, and our support. Then why do they not care to pass such an important bill as this?? Our children's lives are in danger because of the food that is forced upon the Americans. It only takes a small amount of common sense to realize just how wrong the system is! Please reintroduce this important, and potentially life saving bill. Get these giant corporations shut down for their repeated violations. 2010-04-23T05:46:08Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-23:/comment/194143 dbradzieta I also agree 100% with brucemaclachlan. Please reintroduce and pass Kevin's Law H.R.3160. How can big corporations get away with threatening our farmers? How can they get away with such violent animal cruelty? Please reintroduce and pass Kevin's Law H.R.3160 so we can make our food supply cleaner and safer! 2010-04-23T19:18:58Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-23:/comment/194269 mom2max Please reintroduce and pass Kevin's Law H.R.3160.
