To Soy or Not To Soy?
Dear Readers,
I normally do not use my forum for political purposes. Information I
have received on some legislation concerns me enough to pass on what I
know. I ask you to do your own research, however to help me sort out
fact from fiction.
Correspondence I have received regarding HR 873 and S425 has the
potential power to eliminate organic farming and home grown food as
legal activities.
The main backer and lobbyist is Monsanto - chemical and genetic
engineering giant corporation (and Cargill, ADM, and about 35 other
related agri-giants). This bill will require organic farms to use
specific fertilizers an dtoxic insect sprays dictated by a newly
formed agency to "make sure there is no danger to the public food
supply". This will include backyard gardens that grow food only for a
family and not for sales.
Here is the link to a summary HR 875 for you to read for yourself:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:h.r.00875:
Because of the current wording of the Bill one website I found
(http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=12671) listed the
following possible redflags:
• Legally binds state
agriculture depts to enforcing federal guidelines effectively taking
away the states power to do anything other than being food police for
the federal dept.
• Effectively criminalizes organic farming but doesn't actually use
the word organic.
• Affects anyone growing food even if they are not selling it but
consuming it.
• Affects anyone producing meat of any kind including the processing
wild game for personal consumption.
• Legislation is so broad based that every aspect of growing or
producing food can be made illegal. There are no specifics which is
bizarre considering how long the legislation is.
• Section 103 is almost entirely about the administrative aspect of
the legislation. It will allow the appointing of officials from the
factory farming corporations and lobbyists and classify them as
experts and allow them to determine and interpret the legislation. Who
do you think they are going to side with?
• Section 206 defines what will be considered a food production
facility and what will be enforced up all food production facilities.
The wording is so broad based that a backyard gardener could be fined
and more.
• Section 207 requires that the state's agriculture dept act as the
food police and enforce the federal requirements. This takes away the
states power and is in violation of the 10th amendment.
• There are many more but by the time I got this far in the
legislation I was so alarmed that I wanted to bring someone's
attention to it. (to the one person who reads my blog)
Since the bill is currently in committee we have an opportunity to
contact our Representatives and Senators to encourage them to read the
bill and voice your opposition. This bill is designed to promote
factory farming operations like Monsanto, ADM, Sodexo and Tyson to
name a few.
One reader said: "It will literally put all independent farmers and
food producers out of business due to the huge amounts of money it
will take to conform to factory farming methods."
DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, READ THIS LEGISLATION FOR YOURSELF.
Pay special attention to
• Section 3 which is the definitions portion of the bill-read in it's
entirety.
• section 103, 206 and 207- read in it's entirety.
My belief is that government control over the food supply is not in
the interest of families, freedom, or our nation's health. I am told
Stalin used the food supply to gain control over the population.
Here is what you can do, after you do your own research:
1. Contact your congress members at 202-224-3121 and ask them to
oppose HR 875 and S 425. Ask them if they have read the legislation
and what their position is?
2. Get in touch with local farmers and food producers by attending a
local farmers market and asking them how business is.
3. Attend a local WAPF meeting, this is a good start to learning about
what is going on in farming and local & state initiatives . The
website is http://www.westonaprice.org/localchapters/index.html
4. Check out the Farmers Legal Defense Fund at http://www.ftcldf.org/index.html
5. Get active at the local and state levels, this is the quickest way
to initiate change.
6. Keep me updated on developments, as I know the information in this
email could easily be out of date before you even receive this
correspondence.
