This is a good one,

The standard that food providers should be held to is purity of process and intent. We don't need to add bad things to our food. Agribusiness doesn't promote food safety, it swells with immoral shortcuts (a thousand chickens in a bedroom- sized space, soil made prematurely infertile, etc.).
What we need to do is take a good, hard look at what "safe" means.
Take a garden. Plant what grows best in your sun. Water the leaves, the roots. Walk through your rows. (If you don't have a yard, that's what urban gardens are for.)
Now take another garden. Grow it long and wide, cutting away the ecosystems along its edges. Decimate the birds and the bugs. Spray it with regulatory chemicals to ward off the changes provided by the wind and the rain, the nutrient highways for our food.
Which one would you call "safe"?

THE FINAL STEPS TO PASS a FOOD SAFETY LAW
and will soon before before the Senate
The Bill is called s 510.

The first part, US Bill HR #1749 passed through the house
in a few days last summer.

I was writiing about this for a month.

There are many PLANT YOUR DREAM BLOGS ON THIS SUBJECT

I found myself reviewing some of these during
the night.

I am still looking for quotes from BEN FRANKLIN
and THOMAS JEFFERSON on some of my blogs
but I cannot find them yet.

I am find a lot of other goodies
that we each need to see if we want to help ourselves
and others be educated.

About Big Pharma Drugs and quotes Michael R Taylor...
our Food Czar, the right hand ear of PRESIDENT OBAMA.

Luckily MICHELLE, speaks to him as well.
She put in a White House Organic Garden.

CROPLIFE was in outrage.
How unAmerican, from their point of view to
have no pesticides in the WHITE HOUSE ORGANIC GARDEN.

CropLife 'shudders' at White House organic garden
Mid America CropLife Association (MACA--a regional chapter of the national and international pesticide trade association), angry that the new White House garden will be organic, has sent an e-mail to their members attacking the decision to go chemical-free. "While a garden is a great idea, the thought of it being organic made [us] shudder." One member leaked the email to food democracy blogger Jill Richardson. The CropLife group, which represents the interests of Dow, Monsanto, DuPont and the rest of the agrichemical industry, and promotes agrofuels and "the safety and value of American food production" to elementary school children, sent Michelle Obama a letter asking her to consider using "crop protection products" (i.e. pesticides) in the garden. Quickly responding to MACA’s below-the-beltway tactics, Credo, the socially responsible activist mobile phone company, has launched a campaign asking concerned citizens to let the MACA chemical executives know what they think about being told to use pesticides.
