Communist Takeover Of All Food Production From Farm To Fork
Communist Takeover Of All Food Production From Farm To Fork Almost Complete!
House Passes HR 2749
July 31, 2009
It took two tries but on the second attempt Congress railroaded HR 2749, also known as the Food Safety Enhancement Act, down the throats of the American people. The Bill still needs to get passed in the Senate and signed by the President to take effect, but America is creeping ever closer to a Communist dictatorship where virtually every form of food production is monitored, regulated and controlled at all levels by the federal government under the leadership of a new Food Safety Czar.
Many mainstream news stories are hailing the passage of this Bill in the House as a great step in the right direction to help America have better food safety standards. In reality, after close examination of the contents, you will quickly realize that what is being reported in the mainstream news is completely contradictory to what the Bill actually states. The language reads in such a way that it will require every entity, whether it be a business, church organization, homeless shelter, or home gardener to register annually with a new federal food bureau. Many may see that as a good thing. However, those who believe in freedom and less government intrusion into their everyday lives will see this as a further infringement upon our Constitutional rights.
For example, if you are a church group and you provide food to the homeless or if your church has decided to take some steps to prepare for a possible calamity (i.e swine flu pandemic, natural disaster, economic collapse, terrorism, etc.) by stocking up on storable food, that church will now be required to register with the government annually and meet a whole bunch of new criteria in order to continue to do that. In addition to all of the new red tape, it effectively gives the government complete authority over every facet of food whether it be how it is grown to how it is processed, packaged, shipped, and stored. This is all in the name of protecting public health.
For everyone in the nutritional supplement industry, this Bill should be a serious concern to you. Since dietary supplements are classified as foods this Bill will impact every facet of the manufacturing, processing, shipping and storing of all of these items as well. Similar to the way Congress has operated within the past year, this Bill was rushed through to passage using fear with no public input or comments and done just one day before summer recess.
Our only hope at this time is to wage opposition to a lot of the language in this Bill in the Senate before they shove it down our throats as well. HR 2749 will most likely cripple small businesses and set up a system whereby the only companies that will be able to meet all the criteria will be medium to large size companies with the funds and staff in place to comply.
If the federal government is really concerned about stimulating the economy the last thing they need to be doing is bogging down small businesses with a host of new regulations that will force them out or increase all of their costs. Mind you that all of the food related problems that have occurred that have been used as the excuse to change the laws have dealt with meat production from factory farm operations or large processing operations where the FDA and USDA already have full authority under current law to be more involved and ensure quality products.
