Senate Advances Food Safety Bill – Destroys Local Farmers
Stockpile Food And Heritage Seeds
The Food Safety Modernization Act is another corporate sponsored bill designed to force small organic farmers and farmers markets out of business. Passage of this fascist bill is not bipartisan cooperation. Multinational food producers wrote the legislation and bought the votes. They then used the recent salmonella outbreak in the eggs supply to terrify the pubic and force the legislation through.
A long-stalled food safety bill advanced in the Senate Wednesday, drawing unusual bipartisan support in the wake of an egg recall that was the largest in U.S. history, ordered because of contamination that sickened thousands.
The Food Safety Modernization Act would increase agricultural inspections and require enhanced industry record keeping. Wednesday’s vote was 74-25, with all Democrats and more than a dozen Republicans in support. A final vote is expected in the coming days.

Ironically the salmonella outbreak shows just how dangerous it is to rely on multinational corporations for Americas food supply. Egg production for this country is done on 11 corporate chicken farms. As we have seen if production on these 11 corporate farms are disrupted America goes without eggs.
Local egg producers distributed throughout the United States is a far safer and robust supply method.
More and more Americans prefer produce organically grown on local farms to genetically modified foods raised in corporate slave labor camps halfway around the world. This movement towards natural food production terrifies multinational corporations like Monsanto and Cargill who currently control America’s food supply.
The Food Safety Modernization Act will force any local grower who sells to a farmers market or small grocery to tag and track their livestock plus pay a annual $500 registration fee to the FDA. Additionally it gives the government control over seed stock. American farmers and even home gardeners will be forced to purchase genetically modified seeds produced by Monsanto every season instead of heritage seeds which can be saved and replanted year after year.
The Food Safety Modernization Act will guarantee corporate profits and eliminate naturally grown foods. Genetically modified food grown by slave labor in China and shipped half way around the world to your local Wal-Mart and Safeway will be your only option.
The United States government has become nothing more than the enforcement arm for multinational corporations seeking to guarantee profits. Greed is destroying America as profits are put ahead of safety.
Plan now for massive disruption in our food supply. Stock several years of food and purchase as much heritage seeds as possible while you still can.
This is an issue that is affecting all of us, everyday. Companies like Monsanto are controlling our food supply and the government is only going to make it easier and easier to do so. Many of the people working in executive positions at the FDA also hold positions as board members and executive positions at companies such as Monsanto. This allows these companies to control the way the government makes decisions concerning our food supply. Monsanto’s goal is make every seed in the N.America a GMO seed; we have to do everything in our power not to let this happen!!
GMO foods haven’t been tested and are not safe for us to be using them as much as we do
The 4 main GMO crops in N.America are: Corn, Canola seed, Cotton and Soy beans
Buy local, Buy organic
