"The meek shall inherit the earth
and the FDA plans to protect
our lips from the last glass of pasture fed raw milk"
--Keep The Beet Media Star
The World's first Talking Beet Plant,
The U.S. Czarina of Foods

Those who presume to know
what is best for us,
who know the food rules
have set the FDA in motion
to enforce control of our food supply.








MICHAEL R. TAYLOR,
our Czar of Foods,
ON FOODS

Legislation, as you know, has advanced rather far. We have a major bill, the Food Safety Enhancement Act, that was passed in the House last summer. The Senate Health Committee passed the Senate version of this bill last fall. It’s a priority on the part of congressional leadership to bring this legislation to the floor; it’s had bipartisan support in both the House and Senate.

This is remarkable, because it really reflects the extent to which there’s such a consensus now—not only on the need to modernize our law, but to broaden the direction we need to go to improve food safety in the United States. It’s really all about shifting the focus of FDA’s program from a great reliance today on solving problems after they occur, to instead focusing on preventing food safety problems.

Of course, prevention is what public health is all about, and I also think it’s what maintaining public confidence in the food supply is all about. That shift to prevention is really a key feature of the legislation in that it would require that all food facilities or processing facilities—not farms—have in place modern, preventative control systems. And of course, the legislation would give FDA legal tools to require preventative systems and to better respond to problems.

THIS IS SERIOUS

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/24/world/europe/24modify.html?_r=1


The World Trade Organization says that general bans on genetically modified crops constitute an unfair trade barrier, because there is no scientific basis for exclusion. But four years after a W.T.O. panel ruled that European Union policies constituted an illegal “de facto moratorium” on the planting of genetically modified seeds, some farmers, like Mr. Fidenato, and seed producers like Monsanto complain that Europe still has not really opened its doors.

BOTH the United States Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Agency say that there is no scientific evidence that eating MON810 corn is dangerous. But there is greater disagreement on how genetically modified plants affect ecosystems and whether traditional and genetically modified crops can be kept apart to avoid what organic farmers call “contamination” of traditional crops by modified plants or genes. Seed or pollen can travel with the wind or on farm equipment or truck tires, sometimes for hundreds of miles.

WHAT DOES MICHAEL R TAYLOR
KNOW ABOUT MILK?

MICHAEL R. TAYLOR,
brought us hormone added milk
when he worked for the FDA in the 90;s

HOW DID THAT GO?


READ THIS REPORT FROM JOHN ROBBINS

Congressman Bernie Sanders was specifically referring to Taylor when he said "the FDA allowed corporate influence to run rampant in its approval of BGH." Documentaries including "The World According to Monsanto" and "The Future of Food" present Taylor's pro-Monsanto actions at the FDA as a dramatic example of the how corporate influence has exerted massive control over the FDA. Today, Taylor again works for the FDA, now as Deputy Commissioner of Foods.

Raw Milk Consumers Win Round One:
Judge Refuses to Dismiss
Challenge to FDA's Interstate Ban on Raw Milk

Falls Church, Virginia (August 20, 2010) - In a complex federal district court ruling, Judge Mark W. Bennett refused to grant a motion by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to dismiss a lawsuit filed against the agency by the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) and eight other named plaintiffs.

HERE is also something very interesting...

Raids are increasing on farms and private
food-supply clubs—here are 5 tips for surviving one
http://www.grist.org/article/food-five-tips-for-surviving-a-raid-on-your-farm...


What's behind all these raids? They seem to stem from increasing concern at both the state and federal level about the spread of private food groups that have sprung up around the country in recent years -- food clubs and buying groups to provide specialized local products that are generally unavailable in groceries, like grass-fed meats, pastured eggs, fermented foods, and, in some cases, raw dairy products. Because they are private and limited to consumers who sign up for membership, these groups generally avoid obtaining retail and public health licenses required of retailers that sell to the general public. (For more on what's behind the raids, see this new post.)


The same day Sharon Palmer's farm was raided, there was a raid on Rawesome Foods, a Venice, Calif., private food club run by nutritionist and raw-food advocate Aajonus Vonderplanitz. For a membership fee of $25, consumers can purchase unpasteurized dairy products, eggs that are not only organic but unwashed, and a wide assortment of fermented vegetables and other products.

The main difference in the two raids seems to be that Palmer's raiding party was actually much smaller, about half the size of the Venice contingent: Vonderplanitz was also visited by the FBI and the FDA.

In the Rawesome raid, agents made off with several thousand dollars worth of raw honey and raw dairy products. They also shut Rawesome for failure to have a public health permit, though the size and scope of the raid suggests the government officials might have more in mind. Regardless, within hours the outlet reopened in defiance of the shutdown order.
