But no, this will go at small farms, too. It's already hard to sell stuff at farmers markets!

Both major parties want this, and in fact the Repubs are generally more careful about how they approach it. This is Agribusiness at its' worst, using political leverage in an attempt to kill consumer-driven Agriculture. 2009-12-01T15:59:38Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-12-01:/comment/173650 watcher77 Google: CODEX ALIMENTARIOUS This law goes into implementation on Dec. 31, 2009.

This bill should never even be considered without regulating genetic modification and pesticide use. All foods containing genetically modified ingredients should be labeled as such or not allowed to be on the market. 2010-11-14T11:59:20Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-11-14:/comment/215280 turbomango S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act*, may be the most dangerous bill in the history of the US. It is to our food what the bailout was to our economy, only we can live without money. “If accepted [S 510] would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God.” ~Dr. Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistleblower It is similar to what India faced with imposition of the salt tax during British rule, only S 510 extends control over all food in the US, violating the fundamental human right to food. 2010-11-14T12:00:16Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-11-14:/comment/215281 turbomango S 510 fails on moral, social, economic, political, constitutional, and human survival grounds. 1. It puts all US food and all US farms under Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, in the event of contamination or an ill-defined emergency. It resembles the Kissinger Plan. 2. It would end US sovereignty over its own food supply by insisting on compliance with the WTO, thus threatening national security. It would end the Uruguay Round Agreement Act of 1994, which put US sovereignty and US law under perfect protection. Instead, S 510 says: COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS. Nothing in this Act (or an amendment made by this Act) shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the agreement establishing the World Trade Organization or any other treaty or international agreement to which the United States is a party. 2010-08-23T20:54:40Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-08-23:/comment/209883 hexC0DE keep the feds out of our business(es)!
