Not Sure What this Means-UN on GE foods 15 y
I ran across this article the other day.
I am not sure if this emans the Consomer
Union was in favor of GMO foods here nor not.
I need to call them to find out,
or research further.
The Consumer Union was in favor of the
recent passage of #HR 2749

Fritz Ter Meer Articles on the Web 15 y
Research on FRITZ TER MEER.
Ter Meer is attributed to be the inspiration
behind The CODEX ALIMENTARIUS COMMISSION,
and a Nazi held in high esteem by his peers.
He was convicted at The Nuremburg Trials.
After his release from prison,
the Bayer company appointed him to
chairperson of its advisory board.
Bayer is one of the companies
formed from the split of I.G.Farben,
the Big Pharma Company that
helped make gases for the chambers
at Auschwitz. Ter Meer worked
for I.G. Farben as well.
THE CODEX ALIMENTARIUS COMMISSION
is involved in International Trade.
It has been meeting since 1963.
The Food Safety Enchancement Act of 2009,
that passed the House July 30, #HR2749,
giving the FDA increase regulatory powers,
appears to be headed in the direction
of helping us as a nation "Harmonize"
with the Rules and Regs
of the Codex Alimentarius Commission.
MICHAEL TAYLOR, our FDA new Food Czar,
spoke positively of CODEX ALIMENTARIUS July 29
in hearings. This is all too bizarre a story to tell...
KEEP the BEET has me up early this morning
researching the web for some very interesting
historical connections that relate to our
future.

February 3, 2010
I attended a Singles Jewish Shabbaton this past weekend.
I was stunned and shocked by the amount of white
sugar and Aspartame loaded beverages.
Aspartame is singled out in this lawsuit
here for serious injuries. BAYER is tied with
with the creation and marketing of this neurotoxin.
FRITZ TER MEER came to my attention
last summer as one of the BAYER original execs.
His roots go deep into Auschwitz.
I wonder if the Jewish people who enjoy
these drinks every week realize the connection.
I found Diabetes unusually high among those
who atten ... read more

people hurt by contaminations +

He urges the passage of #HR 2749
in a well written OP-ED on his Blog.
He says:
There is a great deal of resistance from smaller food producers, who feel that the bill will unfairly burden them. Here is my promise: if the effects of the bill turn out to be onerous for small food producers – those that sell food to neighbors or at farmer’s markets - I will personally take up the effort to amend the bill.
In the mean time, I urge e ... read more

Leafy Greens Munched in D.C. 7/29 15 y
The Leafy Green Agreements Hearing was held July 29,
the same day as the House was looking at Food Safety
Enchancement 2009. The FOOD SAFETY
ENHANCEMENT ACT took an embarrassing blow
and went down to defeat in its House appearance,
July 29. REP FRANK LUCAS, a new hero, said
that no one had a chance to really look
at this bill before they voted.
The Bill #HR2749 passed the
next day.I n that LEAFY GREEN Hearing the same day,
July 29, MICHAEL TAYLOR, our FDA FOOD CZAR
spoke out about the FDA intent to harmonize
with CODEX ALIMENTARIUS. He called Codex
the "the international food safety standards body."
I was told to look into CODEX ALIMENTARIUS
at LIVE H20, the international water event June 19-21,
and was shocked. Codex has
had a timeline established in 1962 for the
laws we are seeing now, according to the
research I found online.
Meanwhile, KEEP the BEET Media Star
First quoted on the HUFFINGTON POST
last December, sez "Lettuce Grow Together!"
She wants to go to D.C., visit MICHELLE OBAMA's
Organic Garden, and become the new FDA Food Czarina.
She knows she will be safe around the President.
He does not eat beets.
”Those who would give up essential Liberty,
to purchase a little temporary Safety,
deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Food Safety Bill Falls On Suspension Vote
Perhaps H.R. 2749 was more controversial than the House Majority Whip’s office anticipated? Maybe the convergence of different farm interest groups and their voice on Capitol Hill was more influential than one might think? Whatever the reason, H.R. 2749, the Food Safety Enhancement Act failed to garner the necessary 2/3s vote of members voting and present in favor of the bill,which is required when legislation is brought to the House floor for a vote under the Suspension of the Rules.
However, the legislati ... read more
