Agriculture, Food and Health Are Not On "The List"!
Virtually all the powers (apparently) delegated to Congress are listed at Article I, §8, clauses 1-16.
Date: 5/7/2015 9:57:20 AM ( 9 y ) ... viewed 1463 times "All (the Constitution of September 17, 1787) authorizes the federal government to do over the (United States[1]) falls into four categories:
Military defense, international commerce & relations; Immigration & naturalization; Domestically, create a uniform commercial system: weights & measures, patents & copyrights, money based on gold & silver, bankruptcy laws, mail delivery & some road building; and with some of the amendments, secure certain civil rights ...
If it’s on the list, Congress may make laws about it.[2] But if it’s NOT on the list, Congress usurps power & acts unlawfully when it interferes.
Agriculture is not on the list! Food is not on the list! Health is not on the list![3]
There are endless good-intended causes among the "organic" agricultural, natural health and real food movements today that champion different Rights for people to choose life-styles, practices and pursuits of happiness for themselves. However, people are naturally free to choose for themselves. There is not a need to petition government for any of the natural Rights that are already ours! Resources that are put into campaigns at the federal level will be better spent educating the public about nullification of any "law" that is "not on the list"!

Thank You Dr. B!
I can see that Save the Children is doing a good work and is probably able to produce believable reports. I've heard similar assessments on the health ranking of Americans among that of the rest of the world. I can understand how you can say "demand more from our legislators". Surely the plight of all children's poor health is humanity's cry for rethinking.
Are the legislators responsible for children's health? For those who think so I'd ask have Americans always looked to the legislators for their health needs? Of course not! If Save the Children can show how they respond to malnourishment by supporting the distribution of goat milk where it is needed in Kenya (an excellent all-inclusive source of nourishment, BTW) why would we want to look to legislators when the FDA has launched a veritable war on raw milk across the u.s. of A.? Besides food, health as well as agriculture are not the Lawfully delegated business of Congress (as my blog article shows).
Therefore I am convinced that any health issues (in light of America's poor health rating) must be rethought from the perspective of self responsibility. My personal thought is that "community health" requires the community to rethink this on a local level. The fact that health is not on "the list" of delegated powers in the federal Constitution (of September 17, 1787) means that neither the federal government nor the state governments (by way of their extension) have any lawful responsibilities for our health! In fact there is plenty of evidence indicating that government is incapable of guiding the people toward greater health. (The government's anti-fat campaign is probably their most outstanding health disaster!) People can disagree but I still say this needs rethinking![4]

Just serendipitously found the following "Thought for the day" (from the Online Omraam community) that's harmonious with my comment posted (above) at Dr. B's.
"... we see ... people, involving themselves in public affairs: they give their opinions on society, the life of their country and world events ..."[5]

Just posted the following comment at Jon Barron's "Baseline of Health" site in response to his current article:
Politics and Nutrition Don’t Mix -
Thank you, Jon!
Your reporting is certainly outstanding! (I intend to post and promote links to this.) Although the overall focus is "Politics and Nutrition" the report offers additional substance that deserves the public's recognition. Personally I really appreciate your acknowledgement of the very important nutritional difference in having "grass fed" animal products (rather than the grain-fed variations)!
I definitely agree that "Politics and Nutrition Don’t Mix" - however my conclusion is based on another perspective (that I think deserves to be better known in addition to the fact you and others have presented re: government's nutritional ignorance).
My conclusion: government is not authorized to concern itself with any of this subject matter! I've reported on this:
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2252051
Briefly: agriculture, food, nutrition, health, etc. are all subject matters that are simply not within the delegated "Powers" that were granted to Congress in any of the four foundational Organic Laws of the United States of America. IMO, all representatives need to know the limitations of their authority:

Would you be willing to consider adding the perspective of the Organic Laws in your "conversation" on "Politics and Nutrition"?

October 14, 2017 - More regarding the "Constitution" -
I find an element of humor in the notions of what is "constitutional" and what is "unconstitutional". The humor comes from the perspective that the constitution (of September 17, 1787) was never "adopted". Indeed the constitution has a birth date, has been referred to a zillion times and has been "preserved, protected and defended"[i] yet in a number of ways it is possibly "the greatest show on earth" when it is realized that no one has actually adopted it with a written oath to "protect" it![ii]
Most all of people's references to the "constitution" (whether "constitutional" or "unconstitutional") is based on a grand assumption of it being the "supreme law"[iii]. This assumption (of what the constitution means) was made possible by way of a certain semantic deception regarding "the Land". That was accomplished by not disclosing this elementary fact of fundamental Law: all government's jurisdiction is proprietary based! That means the federal government is limited in its Lawful authority to what it actually owns and it does not Lawfully extend into the several states - unless the state clearly granted certain defined land/s to the exclusive legislation of the United States government. Naturally this limitation also pertains to private property and to Individual men, women and children who are not on federal lands.

[i] What actually is being preserved, protected and defended? Does the "constitution of the United States" refer to the parchment or to the territory of the "United States"? In any case "the Constitution is limited to federal territory that has nothing to do with you and your life." See: "You Are The Commander In Chief"

Also at this linked webpage: "So few people have actually read the Constitution that it is not widely known that the President of the United States of America must take an oath to support that Constitution and the President of the United States must take an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Final Notes:
[1] Replaces "the Country at large". A most essential key in knowing exactly where the Constitution of September 17, 1787 can arguably be enforced comes by understanding the proper context of this Constitution - with the other three Organic Laws!
[2] The enforceable of these laws are limited to what Congress owns. This is called proprietary jurisdiction and it has been discussed at my "Son of Truth of Self" Blog under titles concerning the Four Organic Laws.
