Food Safety Modernization Act would ruin agriculture

»  Comments | Post a Comment

The destruction of our natural farming system has not only contributed to disease in this country but has in many cases made it impossible for our immune systems to remain healthy.

We must take action to prevent HR 875 (the Food Safety Modernization Act) and ones like it from passing. This bill is put up by Monsanto and other monolithic corporations trying to seize totalitarian control over all agriculture. It was introduced by Rosa DeLauro, and is ultimately about one thing, defining only their own GMO (Genetically Mutated Organism) products as “safe.”

What makes the bill so dangerous is that it is heavy on penalties, including prison time, while at the same time being incredibly vague about what would actually trigger those sanctions. HR 875 is nothing but a Trojan horse, with an invading army to be designated later, in the form of a bureaucratic administrator (most likely a corporate lobbyist shill) with the lawmaking power to make up their own definitions so that all competitors are either driven into bankruptcy or locked up.

There are problems with food safety we can talk about, but HR 875 is not going to make us safer. It must be stopped.
