This is Plant Your Dream Blog Research from 2009 when I became involved in the Food Safety Modernization Act that was then going through Congress in Washington D.C.
MICHAEL R TAYLOR spoke favorably about
CODEX ALIMENTARIUS the other day.
I am looking for other connections
between these two keywords on Google.
These are some of my results.

ABOUT DR. HARVEY W. WILEY M.D., THE FATHER OF THE FDA, CALLED FOR TRUTH IN LABELING
In 1912, Wiley resigned and took over the laboratories of Good Housekeeping magazine, where he continued his work on behalf of the consuming public. His disapprobation of “drugged” products included cola drinks: he warned against the caffeine in them as vehemently as he would have against the cocaine they had once contained. In a famous action brought against the Coca-Cola company in 1911, he contended that it was illegal to use the name Coca-Cola when there was no actual cocaine in the drink, and also that it was illegal for it to contain caffeine as an additive. Perversely, this was as much as to say that the product ought to have contained cocaine and not caffeine. Still, the case was a landmark in developing standards for truth in labeling.

) to demand the FDA require mandatory labels for foods containing genetically engineered ingredients. Throughout the night, activists will be projecting mock food labels, photos, and videos submitted by concerned citizens from around the world on to the side of the FDA building.

We know that it may be difficult for many of you to attend in person, but you can still participate by submitting your photos, videos, and mock food labels. If you can't attend in person, please sellect "Maybe" and invite all your friends. If you can come, please sellect "Going" and invite your friends!
Some questions to ponder: What does GMO labeling mean to you? What would a GMO label look like? How would you like to label the FDA? Do you have video of your March Against Monsanto you'd like to share? Do you have photos from your city's March Against Monsanto you think would look nice projected on to the building? Think it over!
