Saturday update December 18, 2010:
Asked about the status of
#S-510 FDA Food Safety Modernization Act.
during a morning press conference covered by C-Span,
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said:
"The good news is it is not dead,
the conversation is still alive on the floor of the Senate today."
Durbin said he is hopeful the measure can be included in
"the wrap up" of the lame duck session.
Those who want to see
the passage of #S-510, no matter what,
are seeking a Hail Mary Pass.
For those not familiar with football, we are talking about
a long pass down field with little time on the clock
that ends up winning the game. The clock is ticking.
For those on defense calling for less FDA and government
interference where unwarranted
and the birthright to have food be our medicine,
this is more about food freedom
than a limited definition
of Food Safety. Thousands upon thousands,
unreported in the mainstream press,
have formed a coalition against #S-510
crossing all party, religious, and philosophical lines.
We've monitored the current assault of Food Safety Bills.
They do more harm that good if the pass succeeds.

WATCH FOR THE HAIL MARY PASS!
THERE ARE STILL VOICES WHO HAVE NOT CONCEDED
THE DEFEAT OF #S-510 and THEY ARE
POWERFUL VOICES
More than 8000 people have signed
a petition against the pasage of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act
in any form. I signed the petition and encourage you to do so also.
According to the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund,
as published on the petition page:
More than ever, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (the "Act") represents a major threat to the local food movement, states' autonomy to regulate food, and the country's ability to become self-sufficient in food production.
The Act will greatly expand the power of FDA, an agency that does not respect your freedom of food choice. The FDA has stated as a matter of public record that people have "no fundamental right to their own physical and bodily health" and "no fundamental right to obtain any food they wish."

In Lame Duck Flux, Food Safety Bill All But Dead
BY HELENA BOTTEMILLER | DEC 18, 2010
Saturday morning update: Asked about the status of the food safety bill during a morning press conference covered by C-Span, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said: "The good news is it is not dead, the conversation is still alive on the floor of the Senate today."
Durbin said he is hopeful the measure can be included in "the wrap up" of the lame duck session.
Someone asked if he knew a Republican co-sponsor was saying it was dead, and Durbin replied: "I would have said the same thing an hour ago."

Friday the House and Senate approved a measure to keep the government bills paid through Tuesday, as Democrats and Republicans scrambled to come to a deal for a longer-term stop gap measure.
As the budget situation becomes more contentious, major food safety legislation, which was attached to spending measures that failed to come to fruition last week, seems all but dead.
"It's not going anywhere. It's dead," Sen. Tom Coburn, the bill's most outspoken opponent, told ABC News Friday.
A spokesman from Coburn's office confirmed to Food Safety News that the senator would object to attaching the "so-called food safety bill" to the continuing resolution. Coburn's opposition forced Senate Democrats to file cloture to advance the bill in November.
Key Democrats maintain they will work to include the bill--which easily passed the House and Senate, but got caught in a constitutional glitch--in the final agreement.
"We are working with our Republican colleagues to include this in the continuing resolution," a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) told Food Safety News via email.
A spokeswoman from Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Chairman Tom Harkin's (D-IA) office reiterated that Democrats had not ceded defeat yet.
"Chairman Harkin is making every effort to ensure that the bipartisan food safety bill is included in legislation that will be voted on before the end of the year," spokeswoman Justine Sessions said in an email. "We'll be able to send it to the President unless a Senator raises an objection to overhauling our food safety system for the first time in 70 years."
"This bill, which will create stronger protections against contaminated foods for American families, enjoys strong bipartisan support, and we hope that politics will not get in the way of good policy," added Sessions
