  1. I know most regulars here are concerned about proper labeling so act or not
    as you wish.

    OPPOSE H.R. 4167, THE NATIONAL UNIFORMITY FOR FOOD ACT

    ACTION PAGE: http://www.nocrony.com/food_safety.php

    Just in case you weren't sick and tired enough of corporate special
    interests writing word for word every piece of legislation passed by our
    corrupt Congress, along comes the so-called "National Uniformity for Food
    Act", H.R. 4167.

    What it would actually "uniformly" do is gut every existing state regulation
    on food safety and labeling. They want to make it ILLEGAL to put more
    consumer information on our food than permitted by a new "look the other
    way" federal standard.

    There is a vote scheduled in the House for Thursday, March 2. If passed by
    the usual gang of arm-twisting vote holder openers, H.R. 4167 would make it
    impossible for we the consumers to monitor the infiltration of our food
    supply by a witches' brew of genetically butchered organisms, pesticide and
    mercury residues, irradiation, and synthetic hormones. With an
    administration based on government secrecy run amok, they literally want to
    turn the pollution of our food by unnatural additives into classified
    information. Why do the corporate biotech giants pushing this bill not want
    us to know what they are putting in our food? What are they afraid we might
    do . . . not eat it?

    Thanks for this, FOB. And yeah, this has been an ongoing effort on the part
    of food producers and manufacturers. Don't allow the competitors to include
    anything on their labels that might distinguish their superior product from
    your inferior one. Such as labeling of milk products re hormone or
    antibiotic use. Or plant products re GMO use.

    Fortunately we do have the organic food labeling that helps distinguish good
    from bad in terms of many of these kinds of issues. Passage of such bills
    tends to make labeled organic food more attractive to consumers. But also
    adds to the cost.

    Basically more self-serving, unethical behavior on the part of big ag. About
    what you'd expect.
