While July may bring sweltering heat, here at HuffPost Green, our favorite summer treats are the bountiful farmers markets that get people out of the A/C and into the sunshine to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Not only are farmers markets just plain delicious, their impact on physical, environmental, and community heal ... read more Food Safety #HR 2749 Needs Work-- Ag Committee 15 y

Came accorss this very inightful look into the FDA.
The FDA powers to regulate have fallen short,
according to the HENRY WAXMAN in this leteer.
Here is a letter calling for these appropriations
from the REP HARVEY WAXMAN and
SENATOR TED KENNEDY in Januayry 08
http://oversight.house.gov/documents/20080129140419.pdf
The FDA was just given appropriations to do
its job better this week.
The FDA is now in the middle of another bill
#usbill #HR2749 to give it more regulatory powers
over the farm.
I also came upon this set of videos on the ... read more FDA on the Farm 15 y
FDA on the Farm. In its present form,
#usbill #HR2749 the FOOD SAFETY ENHANCEMENT ACT 2009
does not take into account the needs of small family
and local organic farms. Much work is going on
to reach congress and senators. You involvement is needed
now.
HOW TRUSTWORTHY
is the FDA with our PUBLIC TRUST????
FDA’s Mercury Ruling Defies ALL Scientific Reasoning
FDA, in spite of their own scientific findings,
claims Mercury Amalgams are safe...
Please, this is not an organization to give more power!
Food Safety Laws need work,
not giving more regulatory powers to FDA.
look out for s510 #USBill #S510
FOOD SAFETY MODERIFATION ACT
Leafy Green Guidelines
and will be the standard
for new Food Safety legislation
that passes. This is likely the case.
The FDA is put in the drivers seat.

Excellent Testimony from
organic farmer at July 16
AGRICULTURE HEARINGS ON #usbill #HR2749
”None of the producer witnesses at the hearing today would support the Food Safety Enhancement Act as it is written,” said Rep. Bob Goodlatte (VA-6). ”It is clear that members of the committee and our witnesses are concerned about the new authority the bill gives FDA to regulate on the farm production practices. The notion that FDA can dictate to farmers in every region of the country, growing and producing a vast array of crops and livestock for a range of markets, is irrational. I will continue to work with my colleagues to improve this food safety legislation.”

Over the past fifty years, people in developed countries began showing up in doctors’ offices with autoimmune disorders in far greater numbers. In many places, the rates of such conditions as multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and Crohn’s disease have doubled and even tripled. Almost half the people living in First World nations now suffer from allergies. It turns out that people who grow up on farms are much less likely to have these problems. Perhaps, scientists hypothesized, we’ve become too clean and aren’ ... read more Farmers Query Ag Sec Re: #HR 2749 15 y

Issue 2: the regulation of how farms grow and harvest crops
FTCLDF agrees with Consumers Union that HR 2749 does not call for the elimination of organic practices. However, the bill’s provision directing the agency to set standards for how food is grown and harvested is very troubling. For example, after the E. coli outbreak linked to spinach that was grown in California and then processed and sent all over the country, the ag ... read more |
