Glad that you posted these petitions, Kel. I signed them and hope that others do too. It's really sad that these days in America we have to fight for all of our rights, but we do, including our right to chose what foods and supplements we consume and how we grow our foods.
Chahlie, I got a big laugh out of "wake up and smell the pesticides" funny but nonetheless very true. Even the 1st lady, Michelle Obama has been slammed by the pesticide companies for growing an organic garden at the white house and not using pesticides. They claim that she is setting a bad example.
What Kel stated about the worst ideas being put into the Food Safty bill is true. That's how they do things in Congress these days. They hide them in bills that may be about something entirely different so that when that bill is passed what they couldn't get passed as a bill in itself gets passed along with another bill. According to this article from Natural Solutions that is precisely what McCain requested be done about his bill once he dropped it. Just when we thought it was safe to go back into the garden and/or health food stores:
McCain and Dorgan Continue to Attack Dietary Supplements...
Battle Rages: Make your voice heard!The recent apparent demise of Senator McCain's bill, S.3002, which was designed to kill access to high potency supplements, was trumpeted in the health freedom world as a triumph. We urged caution, saying that while Senator McCain's abandoning his own bill sounded good, we were quite certain that the dangerous provisions of the bill would be incorporated into Senator Harkin's S. 510, a genuine food fascism bill. Many said, as they usually do, that we were alarmist and had missed the point of this triumph.
Well, unfortunately, the Natural Solutions Foundation was on target again. Earlier today a letter was released from Senators McCain and Dorgan, sponsors of DSSA (that's pronounced "DISS-sa" as in "disappoints") the so-called "Dietary Supplement Safety Act" S.3002. This letter to Senators Harkin and Hatch confirmed in writing what had been rumored for a few days: they were abandoning their ill-considered bill to gut the law that protects Americans' access to high potency nutrients, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). That law was adopted by a unanimous Congress responding to strong pressure from the Health Freedom Movement. The McCain/Dorgan bill has just died due to very powerful PUSH BACK from a more mature and even more effective Health Freedom Movement, led by over 390,000 emails to the Senate and decision makers through Health Freedom USA's Action Item. Sounds like a triumph for the pro health freedom forcers, right?
But this battle for the survival of high potency nutrients is not over yet.
The letter asks Harkin and Hatch to import some of the worst provisions of S.3002 into another pending fake "safety" bill, S.510... literally imposing the Codex Alimentarius "approved dietary supplement list" instead of the consumer's right to choose, protected in current law. Remember, the United States is the ONLY high potency nutrient country in the world. The globalizing forces have long had their eyes set on the destruction of this legally granted freedom to choose high potency nutrients, each of which cuts into the huge profitability of Big Pharma products. Each of these dangerous bills is designed to control more and more of your freedoms around food and supplements and, finally, control them out of existence.
This battle is between your freedom to control your own body and how you use it and those who take all such freedom from you. It is, truly, the "Mother of all Battles" with regard to supplements and other dietary strategies to be well or get that way.
